Chapter 16 - Heartbeats and Shadows

‎/~Jennifer~/

‎My heart throbbed, I licked my lips, looking up to catch him glancing at me in doubt. He breathed heavily and stepped away.

‎"Why?" I asked, stepping in.

‎He smirked. "Because, you are-" he gulped, brushing my cheeks slowly and I leaned on his touch. "You're my clan leader, you're great, and you deserve better."

‎"I want you," I whispered, furrowed my brows, and reached for a kiss, but he turned away.

‎"I'm sorry," he muttered, stepping to the door.

‎"You touched Maxi, you kissed Kyra, are they prettier than-"

‎He turned, grabbed my butt, lifted me off the floor and pinned me on the wall with jet speed.

‎I gasped, my words held up in my throat, his eyes looked different, they burned with desire.

‎For me?

‎"You should never compare yourself to these other girls. I'd be lying if I said you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen but Jennifer if it meant I'll get killed for being with you, I would still want to be with you and when I die I'll make sure my soul becomes one of your protectors."

‎he pecked my lips softly and pulled back. "What we are about to do…" he gritted his teeth, squeezing my butt as he pressed closer to me, his hard on brushing on my tender clit.

‎His eyes on mine as though he wanted consent.

‎I nodded, pressing my lips together.

‎"F*ck me Contrario."

‎He groaned and crashed his mouth on my neck, sucking at my skin, he pinned me in place with his hips as he pulled off my top over my head.

‎"Pretty." He went for my lips, breathing heavily, then he dropped his head lower, taking one of my boob in his mouth and his hand on the other, goosebumps filling my skin.

‎He looked like a starving child as he sucked so passionately, my pussy twitched and shivers ran up my spine, shooting up to my brain. I love how he sucked me.

‎"Urhh, yeah that's just right," I moaned as I ran my hand over his hair, arching my back to give him more skin.

‎He ran his hand to my back and lifted me off the wall, not taking his trembling lips off my boob, he placed me on the bed that was at the corner of the room. The only furniture in that room.

‎I grabbed the sheets when he peeled off my pants. I had no panties on.

‎My chest heaved as I looked back at him, feeding his eyes on my bare skin, as he took off his clothes in a hurry.

‎"Contrario?" I called as he laid settled between my legs.

‎"Sshh," he groaned, kissing my lips, he dropped down and kissed my belly button, before he grabbed my thigh, slamming his lips against my pussy, I closed my legs against his head but he held it open.

‎"Urghh," I moaned as I pushed my hips up. His tongue moved over my pussy, sending pleasure waves all over my body.

‎"You're sweet."

‎He increased his pace, rolling his tongue inside me at intervals, my legs shook as I neared climax, and then he pulled away, I gasped, opening my eyes to see him over me.

‎He crashed his lips on mine, I took it feeling my taste on his lips.

‎"Tell me if I'm going too hard," he groaned against my lips as I felt his cock rubbing against my clit.

‎"Yes, fuck me." I filled dryly, spreading my legs out.

‎"Urghh, Jen," he groaned, his eyes rolling up his head as he slid in. "You- so tight."

‎At the Booty Hole rooftop Lounge, Later That Night

‎Renn leaned over the glass railing, sipping a mint-blue cooler that tasted like berries. The city pulsed below him like a living circuit board, and inside, the party was still in full swing.

‎He was relaxed for once. No tension in his shoulders. No eyes on his back. For tonight, he wasn't the "calm one," the "strategist," or "Contrario's shadow."

‎He was just....Renn.

‎Someone bumped into him, shoulder-first. Not hard or intentional. It was Purposeful.

‎He turned, expecting a drunken apology or a flirty challenge.

‎Instead, he met the deep shadow of a hoodie. Black-on-black, untagged. No gamer ID visible. A soft static hum bled from the figure, cloaking them in low-level shadows. They gave off the scent of a real pro.

‎Renn's eyes narrowed. "Well that's not exactly a party outfit."

‎The figure laughed softly, genderless, filtered. "I'm not exactly here for the drinks."

‎"Then what are you here for?"

‎"To see how far he's come."

‎Renn didn't have to ask who. His silence said enough.

‎"You're close to him," the figure said. "Closer than anyone."

‎"Maybe." Renn swirled the cooler, not looking at them. "Depends on who you ask."

‎The hood tilted. "He trusts you wholeheartedly now."

‎Renn gave a dry smile. "psshhh…..well that's his mistake."

‎A beat of silence.

‎Then the figure chuckled. "You're not as loyal as they think, are you?"

‎"I'm loyal to the mission," Renn said, staring out at the city again. "But people? They're just variables."

‎"You always were a good student."

‎At that, Renn turned his head sharply but the hooded figure was already walking away, disappearing into the pulsating crowd without so much as a blink from the security bots. It was as if he wasn't even there.

‎Renn's jaw tightened.

‎He took another long sip of his drink, exhaled, and muttered under his breath:

‎"267 days. I'll finish what I started… one way or another."

‎Then he turned back toward the dance floor.

‎Toward his team.

‎Toward Maxi who was now laughing with another guy.

‎"Hey have you seen Contrario around here somewhere?" Renn asked Maxi as their gaze met each other.

‎"What do I look like? His grandma?" Maxi scoffed and dragged the guy she was with. "Go get yourself some ladies or jerk yourself off somewhere, it's a party" she said at the top of her voice as she walked away from him.
