Key To My Heart || Slugterra

56| Woods

"So... What are we doing out here exactly? You're not pulling another prank on me, are you?" I questioned Eli with narrowed eyes.

After dinner, He immediately pulled me out of the hideout and told everyone that we were going out for a walk, so here we are, on our mechabeasts, wondering through one of the more tranquil forest in Slugterra.

"I'm dead serious, Ales. I just want to spend some time with you, alone, out here in the woods," Eli explained patiently.

"More like you're gonna kidnap me and I will never see my friends again," I pouted, and he let out a throaty chuckle.

"Yeah, I'll kidnap you and chain you to my bed, making you mine forever," he said, and that for sure shut my mouth tight.

"I'm just kidding, Ales. It's because... I realise that in the past I was always looking forward to the future, constantly asking myself when I will be able to see you again, to have you in my arms and finally be happy. It hit me quite recently that I never lived in the moment of life."

Lucky sped forward and turned sideways to bring Dalinda to a halt. He looked at me from his side; his gorgeous ocean blue eyes were the only thing I could see.

"I want to change that. I want to live in the moment, to appreciate the little things life offers to me every single second, regardless of it being good or bad. Now would be the perfect time to make that change, 'cause I finally found you," he said, a soft smile pasted on his face. "Let me have you, please. I beg you."

"What do you mean?" I asked, pasting a soft smirk. "I am already yours to begin with."

He finally wore his signature smirk that I have been missing more than I should.

"Good girl."

He turned Lucky around and continued on. It took me awhile to reboot my utterly shocked brain before I caught up with him. My cheeks were heated I can feel the temperature within me rose. 

"You liked that, didn't you?" he asked in a husky voice, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Yes daddy," I said, pressing my lips into a straight line, trying so hard not to laugh when Lucky came to an immediate halt beside me while Dalinda continue to walk.

"Hey! Hold on now," he called out for me and seconds later a hand grabbed me by my arm. Dalinda stopped in tracks by herself, her head faced forward but I knew so well that she was smirking.

"What did you call me?" he asked when he caught up, staring at me intensely.

"You like that too, don't you?" I teased.

A corner of his lips raised, before he nodded, pulling away from me with confidence beaming off of his face.

I think I might've boosted his ego a bit too much.

"We're here," he said, and I raised my brows.

"We were heading to somewhere?" I asked, looking up at him to see him staring forward, and I followed his gaze.

"Wanted to make things romantic for us and you just have to make everything sexual."

My eyes widened as I glared at him.

"Excuse me? You started it!"

He laughed at me while I was trying so hard to figure out where we were.

Deep in the woods there stood a two-storey high ancient-looking stone wall, with twinning climbers covering almost the entire greyish surface, blending the wall with the trees that camouflaged it.
