What Were You Thinking?

Nora

I awake before Legion, I roll over to face him and focus on his face. He looks relaxed and I smile.

'How can I be falling for a man who hates Germans?' I think to myself. I put my hand on his cheek and say "Stay with me, Legion. Stay with me forever. Promise me you'll never leave me."

"I promise, Nora." He says as he opens his eyes. I startle and remove my hand, my face filling with heat.

"What's wrong?" Legion asks.

"It's nothing." I say looking down and away.

"Bullshit, Nora. Somethings wrong and I know it. Now what is it." He replies.

"How can someone like you be with me since you hate Germans? It's just absurd." I say as I look him deep in his eyes that fill with a flicker of hurt at the last part.

"I want to be with you Nora because you have shown me how it feels to fall for someone who has lost everything but keeps on fighting." Legion answers staring solemnly into my eyes.

"How could have lost everything when I have you, Legion?" I ask tears filling my vision.

"Shh, shh, shh, shh." He shushes me as he pulled me into a warm embrace. "You still have me because I refuse to let anything happen to you. I'd rather gut myself than to watch suffer and hurt."

He admits voice tinged with sadness. We sat there for almost ten minutes not talking just enjoying each other's warmth.

"Legion?" I say looking up with tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Yes?" He answers his voice softer than usual.

"What's your real name?" I ask as slow and cautiously as I could.

Legions POV:

"What's your real name?" She asks me looking up at me. I feel my body involuntarily go rigged as the last word escapes her lips. Time seemed to slow as my mind swirled with conspiracies and paranoia.

Here I was with the woman of my 'dreams' as Americans said and thoughts that she would betray me.

'Really Damien?' My mind asks me.

'Don't call me that!' I snap back in my mind.

'Sorry would you rather call you Damoen? Or how about Aurik? Or David? Oh how about this one bitch baby who is emotionally numb to everything except anger?'

'SHUT THE FUCK UP!' I mentally yell. I look down at the woman that clung to me tighter than a wet suit and ask "Why do you want to know?" in the least harsh voice I could muster.

She scoots closer and sits up straighter then answers "Because you know mine and I don't know yours, and I want to know."

"I don-" just before I was about to answer her there was a beeping coming from my phone. "Never a dull moment." I say through gritted teeth.

"What does that mean?" Nora asks me. I ignore her for the time being looking down down at my phone.

'Someone must've triggered the motion sensor that you planted at the door of the elevator.' Militas tells me.

'No shit Sherlock.' I think as I pull up the video feed from the camera I installed outside of the door. No one in this building could get up here with the exception of three people: me, Nora, and the buildings owner.

"Legion?" Nora asks concern clear in her voice. I turn to her and say "It's nothing. Just a bug in the system." I lie as I smile convincingly. "Why don't you get some sleep while I get groceries." I say as I lay her down kissing her deeply.

"Ok Legion." She says breathless along with lust filling her eyes. 'Don't leave her alone and vulnerable.' My mind tells me.

'I'm not.' I simply reply.

After I quickly dress, I take my Beretta out of its holster and swiftly, but quietly move to the door. I look through the peek hole to find... nothing. I know that it was far from nothing so I grab the knob and slowly turned it then swung it open stopping it just before it hit the wall, I didn't want to wake Nora.

I look around the door peeking out into the hall, still nothing, then I do the same to the other side. Out of the corner of my vision I saw a black figure just staring at me.

'Oh great.' I moan internally. "What the fuck do you want?" I say in a low predatorial voice warning this intruder that this was my territory.

"Volo enim vos scire quod." "You know what I want." The thing said and then a terrible pain erupts in my skull like twelve million jolts of electricity followed by getting your nuts getting kicked in. I struggle to stay standing as the pain goes from a dull throb and intensifies tremendously.

"Quicquid autem quaeritis me non quia." "Whatever you looking for I don't have it." I say through gritted teeth.

"TECTUM!" "LAIR!" It says as it stalks over to me hand outstretched preparing to put on my head and show me horrid visions of war, death, famine, and what the its kind the Vlotva would do to me if they found me. I rose my gun, my head spinning with the motion and fire.

The creature then starts to laugh this guttural, gurgling, deep laugh.

"Putas, potes me occidere. Bene tuus sum ego et inmortale an iniuria." "You think you can kill me. Well your wrong I am an immortal being." It snarls.

"HAHAHA! Longe ab immortales!" "HAHAHA! Your far from immortal." I spit with such malice and disgust in my voice that it takes half a step back.

"Quid mihi et est ad te et puella vivere." "Give me what I came here for and I'll let you and the girl live." It growls in a guttural tone. Almost territorial.

"Bullshit." I say as I step in front of the door protecting Noras sleeping body from harm. I know this bastard has no intention of letting either one of us live.

"What did you just say to me?" It says taking physical form that way I could take in what was standing before me. Obsidian black hide, blood red eyes glowing crimson, it's Anubis like frame standing just over eight feet tall easily towering over me by an easy foot and a half it spoke "I would choose your next words extremely carefully, Verriachi." He says as he steps closer to me.

I feel white hot rage coursing through my veins as he spoke that forbidden word.

"NEVYBERAJTE SA FUCKING ME, ŽE!" "DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING CALL ME THAT!" I yell feeling the beast inside of me awaken and starting to claw at my insides trying to get out.

"Alebo čo, Verriachi?" "Or what, Verriachi?" The Vlotva says smirking looking down at me. I let loose the beast that had been so desperately trying to get out. In one quick movement I lifted my right foot clad in reinforced steel toed boots with gel cushioning so that any impact would be instantly absorbed. I brought down hard on the things knee effectively snapping it in half and shattering the shin bone, grinning at its howl of pain. Then something smacked me across the face sending me into the wall. I got back up just to have a fist across my cheek cutting me. I quickly grab its arm and snap it in half. As it made a satisfying snapping noise I smile and kicked it in the abdomen, sending it flying.

Its lying on the ground brimming on unconsciousness while I walk up to it, grab its upper and lower jaws and started to rip them apart.

Once it was dead it dissolves into the floor going back to its own Hellish home. I decide to go back into the penthouse and cook breakfast just to find Nora already cooking with earbuds in half nude. I decide to sneak up behind her. I quietly tip-toe up behind her and slap both her ass cheeks. She jumps and spins around to declare something, but my mouth quickly met hers and her eyes widen as ours tongues war for dominance. In the end I'm the one who won, so I decide to explore a little bit.

Tasting her lips, taking in to account the wetness of her tongue, I squeeze her cheeks not hard enough to leave marks, but firm enough to make her effectively moan. She breaks away from the kiss looking at me with a lust in her eyes that I've never seen in a woman's eyes before, and says "Legion I have to continue cooking or else the eggs will burn. Maybe after breakfast we can continue." She says with a with and a chuckle.

"Ok." I reluctantly sigh as I pull her into a hug. I feel her reach around my waist and squeeze my own ass making me jump. I let go of her, pull back and look at her. She smiles with an eagerness that nearly matches my own.

"Now sit down, thicc boi." She says grinning as she turns around to finish cooking. I hug her from the back letting my hands find her stomach, and let them roam over her exposed naval region. Feeling her physically shudder in my grasp made me grin. I lean down to whisper lewd things into her ear.

"I'm going to make you feel so fucking good after breakfast." I whisper in her ear before taking her earlobe in between my teeth and gently pull on it making her moan lightly.

Then I say "I want you to scream my name when you cum. I want to make you feel good." When I finish I kiss behind her earlobe and continue down to her neck.

"Go sit down before I let loose and make you empty those nuts inside of me." She says in pants like a dog who has been running in summer.

"Yes ma'am." I say chuckling into into her ear. As I walk to the counter to sit down I notice that one of the upstairs doors are open. Putting my lust aside for a brief moment I make my way up the stairs to check the room and shut the door. Once I get to the room I see that the closet door is open, not wanting to frighten Nora I drew my stiletto military knife from its sheath in my boot and slowly approach the door.

Once I get to the door, I curl my fingers around the doorframe and rip it open to find a god awful stench lurking in there. Then the next thing I know I'm falling hard and fast into this black abyss. Soon I find myself in a chair with restraints on my wrists and ankles watching a vlotva defile Noras sleeping body as I squirm and scream. At some point I pass out from exhaustion and wake up. I notice a cold sweat covering my body as I sit up slightly, then I notice Noras arm across my chest so I lay back down as I ponder the dream that I just had. I know that Nora asking me for my real name was. 'We don't know anything just yet.' Militas tells me.

'Let's just wait until morning and ask her, ok?' He continues.

'Ok.' I reluctantly agree. I roll over to face Nora. I don't know what I should feel anger because of my dream, sadness because of my wife and daughters death, or love for the woman laying next to me. Just then I hear my phone buzzing on the night desk beside me.

I pick it to see who was calling me the display reads 'Detective S.' I answer the call seeing as S was the only American detective I could trust to keep tabs on my little sister.

"Yeah." I say.

"There's been an accident, Eli-"

"Don't you dare say it." I growl into the phone.

"Sorry, Legion. Anyways there's been an accident. Your sister wa-"

"WHAT?! I PAYING YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO ACCIDENTS!" I say as quietly as I can while getting up and heading into the living room.

"I know, Legion. Just listen and I'll explain what happened. Ok?" S says unperturbed by my outburst.

"Fine. You get two minutes before I hang up buy a plane ticket, fly over to America, hunt you down and blow your kneecaps off." I say when I get to the living room.

"Ok." He says, I hear him nervously gulp and I grin.

"Tick tock, S." I say.

"Your sister was a victim to a break in. Thankfully I was there to stop the perps before to much damage was done. Your sister is currently at the nearest hospital with a heavy rotation of guards to protect her door that way no one goes in or out without proper notice and searches." S explains.

This pissed me off even more because he wasn't there with her.

"What do you mean by 'to much damage'? Why aren't you with her? Where were you? Were you off fucking a hooker? What am I even paying you for if you can't protect my sister? Remember what happened to the last detective that didn't do his job." I say even more pissed off than before.

"I'm in the hospital right now. I -" he starts to say.

"You know I can pull up the tracer virus I infected your devices with, right? I don't want to hear your excuses or your lies. Get to the fucking hospital. RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" I say, my voice hard and filled with spite.

"Yessir." S says then hangs up. I look at my phone for a long while thinking about my sister. Then I hear the shower turn on dragging me back to reality. I look out the window at the city. The sun was coming up now, it threw different shades of orange, pink, and yellow into the penthouse. I hear Nora calling for me from the bathroom in my room. Not wanting to end my awestricken stupor I yell "Yes?".

"Could you come here for a minute?" Nora replies over the noise of the shower.

*Ah what the hell, I don't have anything better to do.* I think and say "Sure." Then I tear my gaze from the rising sun and walk into my room. When I step into the room I smell the strawberry shampoo that Nora uses, it smells so sweet. As I head to the bathroom the smell only gets stronger. A new smell enters the fray as I get to the fogged up glass of the bathroom door, coconut.

I open the door to find the room throughly steamed up and the heat is amazing, it's like a steam room. I hear Noras voice once more "Legion is that you?".

"Yeah it's me. What do you need?" I say deciding to leave the door open to let out some of the steam.

The smell, oh god the smell is so enticing.

"I need your opinion on something." She says. As the steam lets up I see through the blurry shower glass that she's standing up against the side wall of the shower.

"Ok about what?" I ask incredulously oblivious to the fact that I was wide open for an opportunity.

"About me? What do you like about me? Plus the wound on my leg hurts when I start to wash it." She tells me.

"What do you want me to do?" I say a little to heatedly.

"Come in here and help me wash it." She says hurt by my heated outburst.

"You know I can't do that." I say with real reluctance.

"Aww, why not? You already seen me naked and vice versa." She says mockingly. At that I rip off my muscle shirt, shorts, and boxers. When I open the shower door I see Nora, not just Nora every part of Nora. From her long, tan legs to her beautiful brown hair in medium tight curls, to her full light pink lips.

"Do you know what I just went through, Nora?" I say while I close the shower door.

Nora

"Do you know what I just went through?" Legion says. The water was basically evaporating once it touches his skin.

"No, I do not." I say my voice shaking. The memory of him this angry and what he said to me threatened to overwhelm me, but I pushed it aside focusing on the bulk of muscle in front of me.

"Why don't you tell me, then?" I say walking closer to him until I could feel the heat radiating his body.

"My si- no. I can't tell you." Legion hisses at me as he turns to leave.

Without thinking my arm shot out grabbing his thick bicep as I say "No, don't go. I can't have you leaving me again."

He turns his head and shoots me this 'choose your next words extremely carefully' glare that sends shivers down my spine despite the hot water streaming down my side. I hesitantly let go, reluctant to watch him leave. Then he did something unexpected he says "What do remember of this morning?" I was dumbfounded as those words left his lips.

"I remember..."
