Chapter 14 â Black Angels
There were 11 men sitting in a room waiting to be activated, once they had completed their mission they would be given four million dollars apiece.
At least thatâs what he had been promised; they said he wouldnât have to worry if he got infected in the process of releasing the virus because they had a cure ready and waiting.
At first He thought must be crazy to try and pull a stunt such as this, but four million dollars had quickly convinced him to side with them. He didnât care if ten thousand people died; all he wanted was the cash they had promised him. With that amount of money he was willing to sell his soul into the devil.
âMartin youâll be escorted to the Riverview hotel, where youâll wait for further instructions, this suitcaseâ¦â¦â the man speaking to him brought out a black suitcase and handed it to him. ââ¦..contains the virus, when itâs time weâll call you and give you instructions on how to use the contents in the suitcase understand.â
âsure.â Martin nodded taking the suit case been thrust into his hands, he had to admit he was a bit nervous but thinking about the money helped him to calm down.
Four more men arrived and they escorted him out of the building, he wasnât sure what other ten men remaining would be asked to do but he assumed they were also there to help Pinerose make a lot of money.
âI was told to tell you thereâs an entertainment package waiting for you in your room.â The man driving him announced.
He nodded, these people were in charge, what they wanted is what he would do. All he wanted in return was to be paid at the end of the day. The drive was a quick one because ten minutes later they had arrived. They booked a room for him and escorted him upstairs. In his room he noticed that the door could only be opened from the outside, which meant unless they wanted him to go out he was stuck in there.
Scanning his luxurious environment he quickly realized what they meant by entertainment, in the middle of the room, he found four naked women lying on his bed battering their eyelashes at him and whispering him for him to come closer.
A grin spread on his face, this was like heaven, now more than ever he was determined to do whatever Pinerose wanted even if it meant getting one billion people sick.
Reeseâs POV
âoh you havenât heard, you three really need to listen to news if you plan on eluding the cops, they announced yesterday that whoever finds any of you will be rewarded 500,000 so I can assure you everyone in this little town of ours is looking for you.â Dad said a bit upset.
âWhat!!! Which idiot did that?â I asked.
âThat would be me.â Stevenâs familiar voice enveloped the room; we all turned around and found ourselves surrounded by at least thirty armed men.
âHello Reeseâ¦â¦.welcome home.â He said with an evil grin.
My first reaction was to jump through the nearest window and escape Stevenâs glare, he had this satisfied look on his face because he knew he had us cornered.
âgotcha.â He muttered smiling.
My dad was the first person to come out of shock. âMr. Cruz perhaps you ought to listen to what these kids have to say.â My dad said at the same time stepping in front of me to shield me from Steven.
âThereâs nothing that will come from their mouth that I would be interested in.â Steven spat at us.
âIf you donât listen to them lots of innocent people will die.â My dad insisted.
Steven frowned a bit, I could tell that he didnât know what to do with the new piece of information he had received. âAre you threatening me?â he barked.
My dad turned to rogue, âtell him everything you told Me.â he ordered.
Startled by my dadâs outburst, I turned him around to face me, âNo dad we canât trust him, besides I donât think this merciless arrogant conceited pig is going to believe us.â I disagreed quickly.
âReese look around you weâre surrounded we have to tell them whatâs going on.â Dad argued, Steven on the other hand kept looking at us curiously.
âI agree Reese.â Rogue admitted but I could tell if he had another option he would have taken it. he turned to Steven, âweâre from the futureâ¦..â he started to say, at first Steven laughed, but after several hours of explanation from rogue and Xavier he looked like he was buying the tale. Did that mean Steven was on our side now?
Urghâ¦â¦.I shook my head, Steven was a bully and I couldnât count on him. What we needed to do was get out of here.
âI need to verify everything youâve said.â Steven said at the end of rogueâs tall explanation.
âHow?.....beside we donât have time, and the first virus will be released in two days at the Roosevelt stadium, we have to be out there coming out with a plan to stop it.â rogue complained.
âFineâ¦â¦ in two days time my men and I will go with you three to the Roosevelt stadium, and if someone is indeed trying to do what you say, trust me we will stop them but until then all of you will remain in this house under my menâs watchful eyes understand.â Steven ordered.
âDeal.â Rogue said still frowning.
âI donât trust him.â I whispered to rogue.
âWe donât have any choice, besides I think we could use his help.â Rogue explained.
âPut them in separate rooms.â Steven ordered.
Three men leapt forward, one of them grabbed my hand and steered me away from the living room, he led me to my bedroom and locked me inside. After he was gone I muttered several curses and collapsed unto my bed since I had nothing better to do. To think all this had started with me stumbling on my boyfriend cheating on me with my own sister, if only I hadnât gone outside when I heard that loud noise.
But if I hadnât I wouldnât have met rogueâ¦..with all the danger and constant fear I couldnât tell for sure if he loved me or it was all in my head. Sighing again I went toward the bathroom took a quick shower and climbed back into bed.
Rogueâs POV
It had taken a lot of convincing on his part to get them to let him talk to Reese.
âYou have one hour and then weâre coming after you, donât try any funny business.â The guard standing behind Reeseâs door warned him.
Rogue nodded angrily, the nerve of that idiot he could kill him anytime he wanted but there were thirty more of him scattered about the house who would come after him if he did, and he couldnât risk pulling a stunt like that when Reese was in the house.
Talking about Reese, he just didnât know what do with her, he knew they had chemistry and perhaps she loved him but he couldnât act on those feelings because his orders had been clear, after they stopped doomsday he was supposed to return to his time. If he did Reese would either be seventy years old then or dead. Thinking about Reese dead or separated from him more that he imagined.
But if he did not return he could alter certain things and affect the future, he had to leave, he didnât have a choice, which was why he wanted an hour to speak with Reese about his leaving, he just prayed she would take it hard.
When he stepped into her room Reese was asleep in her bed; the only light in the room was the one coming from the bedpost right beside her.
Rogue halted when he stared at Reese peacefully sleeping unaware of his presence. He moved towards her slowly and climbed on the bed until they were a few breathes away. He couldnât help but stare at her long legs, they were rather attractive and then she rolled over, all this time she had her head buried in the pillow. His eyes immediately went straight to her boobs which stood up and stared at him invitingly.
Whatever he intended to do then evaporated from his mind, all he could think about now was how incredibly beautiful Reese was. Her lips were pink and full and begging him for a kiss and he couldnât resist them, he leaned forward and their lips touched. Reeseâs eyes fluttered opened immediately and she stared at him in shock when she saw him. He put his hands on her lips and told her to hush. They only had an hour and he didnât want to waste that time talking.
He knew he shouldnât do what he was about to; he had no right especially when in the end he would have to leave her, but right now his common sense had been replaced with his need to be with Reese.
Reeseâs POV
I was floating in my dreamless sleep when something touched my lips; I opened my eyes to identify what it was and found rogue in my bed. For a second I didnât know if I was dreaming or my eyes were playing tricks on me.
He put his finger on my lips and told me to hush just when I was about to say something clever. I nodded obediently because I didnât know what else to do. He didnât do anything after that; he just stared at me with lustful eyes, a smile spread on my face as I realized what was he was thinking. He had been sitting next to me but after my encouraging smile he switched positions until he was on top of me.
I couldnât believe rogue and I were her like this, everywhere his body touched my I burned, it was like my body had been set on fire. He leaned forward towards me and then our lips me against. His tongue found its way down my mouth as we kissed fiercely. Rogue awakened sensations in me that until now I didnât know existed. I wrapped my legs around his body tighter and he in turn pressed his body against me more firmly, making my feminine places quiver with desire.
âReese.â he moaned my name as if it was a wonderful song. His hands roamed down my hips and then his lips left my lips, I protested but shut up when he started showering kisses on my neck.
He pulled my T-Shirt which and after that unhooked my bra. Finally naked, he grinned and dipped his head lower until they came into contact with my boobs. No words on earth could describe the feelings that rocked through my body. After a while he raised his head and stared into my lustful eyes which were begging him not to stop. He grinned at me and my heart jumped.
âReese.â rogue whispered.
âYes.â I said in a hoarse voice.
âIâm so sorry if Iâm about to hurt you.â He said softly.
Before I could ask him what he meant by that, he parted my legs gently apart and slid in. after that I was speechless. I was too caught in the passion flaming between us to remember what he had just said.
Thirty minutes later we were interrupted when Xavier started pounding on our door, âReeseâ¦rogue we found David Hannigan.â He shouted, excitement radiating in his voice.
âWhat.â we both called out in unison.
We exchanged quick looks and sat up, still sore from the lovemaking I took my time in dressing up, I was almost at the door to invite Xavier in when rogue grabbed my hands.
âwhat.â I asked puzzled.
âYou wonât forget me or what just happened right.ââ He asked sadly staring deep into my face.
âwha- rogue whatâs wrong now.â I asked with a frown.
âJust promise me that youâll always remember this night.â He insisted.
âYes of course, I love you and this is the first time weâve been together, of course I wonât forget.â I assured him. Why was he talking as if he was going to die? A lump settled in my throat, was there something rogue was keeping from meâ¦.
