Chapter 66: Secret behind the tunnels
Hours later, the crackling sound of flames was the only thing heard in the dimly lit cave. The flames would have gone off by now if not for the fact it was protected by Cedric’s flames. His black flames danced with the bright embers of the fire.
Abrielle slowly woke up, but her entire body felt like it was squashed by a heavyweight, and she felt a bit sore in between her legs. She popped out at the realization, as she slowly remembered what happened last night. Her face went pale, realizing, remembering how she easily gave in to him.
He was the devil; her eyes were drawn to the fire, where she saw Cedric sitting opposite the flame, leaning against the walls. He had his trousers back on and his jacket was draped around his head. His eyes were zeroed in on the flames.
"Good morning," she heard his voice softly say. She also realized that she had most of her clothes back on except for her shirt that was used to clean her wound last night with her jacket draped around her shoulders.
"Good morning," she mumbled as the feeling of embarrassment crept into her mind, her hand clutching her jacket.
"How are you feeling? We need to start moving to the surface. Your wounds Should be almost healed now." He mentioned as his gaze met hers. He had his mask back on; it made her realize contrary to what she thought before, his mask reduced his charms and was the best decision he took.
Nothing would be more devastating than a villain with a gorgeous face. "Just a bit tired. Do you have any idea how we can get out of here?" She replied slowly, sitting up to Lean against the cave walls.
"Rest up a bit then. We just have to find a way. I am certain you don’t want to be trapped here forever."
A few minutes later, after Abrielle was well rested, they started on their task. Cedric didn’t mention a thing about the fact they consummated their marriage the previous night the entire time and was keen on finding a way out of the labyrinth.
