BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE: Billionaire's Hunt (A Dark New Adult Romance with Billionaire) (Contemporary New Adult Short Stories) (6 page)

Kurt was seven years of age when he had first had the real big fight with his friend at school. He could find his anger shoot out of control. Kurt couldn’t quite explain what he had felt. He felt like something had shifted in him and his rage was shooting very high. He tried to gain composure but to no avail.

He ran away from the school campus and found himself reaching the woods. He was a little kid, but the kind of agility which he had when he was running was incredible. He felt like he could converse with the wind and he had the urge to fly. He wanted to touch the sky and he felt a rush of adrenaline in him. As he kept running, he suddenly fund his arms taking the shape of the wing and even before he could process what was happening, he converted into the shape of a bird as his face protruded like birds and his nose took the form of a beak.

His legs were arched and his wings were spread. He started elevating form the ground and in the next few minutes, he was flying in the air and was a bird. He was confused, shocked and excited. He could feel a different kind of power ooze in his body and he was amazed by himself. He didn’t quite know what to make of this power.

He kept flying as if there was a superior power that was controlling him. He didn't want to stop. He didn’t have to learn how to fly. It came very easily to him. He kept soaring in the air and he loved how vast and powerful he felt. There was a thrill he had never experienced before and he wanted to fly higher and touch the sky. Was it possible to climb higher?

He vented out his anger by arching his wings and climbing as high as he could. He had no idea of the time he kept flying but he kept going on and on until he could finally be at peace again.

When he no longer had the desire to fly, he perched down on the ground. He slowly started converting back to his human form. Once he was in the shape of a human, he looked petrified. Reality dawned upon him and for a few moments, he couldn’t believe what had happened. Was it really possible for such things to happen?

He headed home and hugged him mom and started crying inconsolably. She couldn’t understand what had happened and Kurt was afraid to ask the reason. He didn’t know what to explain and how to narrate the events. Was there even a way any of this could be true|?

After an hour of crying, he told everything to his mom and she made him sit on her lap. She kissed him on the cheeks and told him about his father.

“Your father was one of the best shifters and he hailed from the royal lineage. Their family had all pure breeds. A shifter is a person who can change his form into anything he likes. They can be a bird when they want to fly, a tiger when they want to hunt, a horse when they want to run or absolutely anything. They are extremely evolved species and come with a lot of different powers. The royal family is believed to be of very rich lineage and as per their tradition; people in the royal lineage cannot marry outside their gene pool.

However, your dad met me first when I was still in my college. He fell in love with me and so did I. We had a whirlwind romance, but it wasn’t until your dad had knocked me that he told me about his lineage and royal shifter blood. I was shattered beyond belief. There was a part of me that hated your dad for putting me through this, but in the end, I knew I loved him. When you love a person, you accept them for who they are not who you want them to be.

It took me some time to realize it, but I eventually did. Your dad agreed to fight with the whole clan for me, but the shifters are very rigid with the rules. They threw your dad out of the clan and put a curse on him. At the same time, they said that my son will also be a shifter and you will not have controls over who you turn into. The time has come son. You are a shifter but don’t be ashamed of it. This is who your dad was and until you don’t hurt someone, you can live a normal life.

Your dad taught me a lot of skills and I will help you become a pro at these skills. Promise me son, you will never harm someone because of these skills.”

It was his mom that helped him cope with the changes. However, as Sarah walked on him because he was a shifter, he had never regretted his life more. What wouldn’t he give up to get a life like a regular guy? However, he knew that if Sarah’s love was so weak, maybe, they weren’t meant to be.

He tried knocking on Sarah’s door, but she didn’t open the lock. Go away and never show me your face again” she screamed and he could hear how much she was crying. He wanted to explain, but he realized that maybe she was better off without him.

There was no way he would be able to make her understand and maybe she was better off with another human because he didn't know what living with a half-blood shifter would culminate into.

He made an exit from the pathway and came back to his home and stared at his house. What use will it be to decorate this house when his dream of living it and decorating it with memories was no longer with him? Will he ever be happy in this house? He decided to make it perfect, just the way they had a vision and then leave this neighborhood.

He would never be able to forget Sarah, but he knew that he would watch over her from a distance, loving her silently. A shifter falls in love just once. They can never fall out of love because their heart gets chained to the people they are with.

He looked at all the old pictures and remembered the times they had kissed each other. He wanted to hold her in his arms and make love to her. He wanted to feel the softness of her flesh and kiss her POSEIDONately on the inside. He wanted to leave his bites on her soft body and he wanted to hear her scream his name.

He wanted to go on a vacation with her and he wanted to be the reason for the glittering smile in her eyes. He realized that none of these things would happen and that he would spend the rest of his life in solitude and not doing a thing.

He went back to the room and sat on the bed, hugging an old picture of the two of them. He could feel the ache in his heart that occurred because of the longing to meet Sarah. He tried to steal a look at her home, but she had firmly closed all the windows shut.

Three weeks passed and Kurt still didn’t hear anything from Sarah. It was time for Kurt to finally let go of the old chapter and start new. But he didn’t want to do so. Fort him life had halted the day when Sarah had walked out of his life and no matter how hard he tried, there was no way he could continue and pretend like all was normal.

Every day looked like a struggle and he fought to make it count. He wanted so hard to look at things in a different way but to no avail. Was it really possible for someone to become so important in such a span of time? Even before he asked a question, he knew the answer.

Sarah too was feeling the pull to go back to Kurt. She hadn't even given a chance to explain, but what would he even say. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. It was the same loop all over again. She would stop dating men and stop falling in love. She didn’t want to be a part of all the melodrama that came packed in the shape of love.

She still remembered the way he had kissed her and left her asking for more. She wanted to kiss his luscious lips and touch his well crafted Greek body. She wanted to put her hands on his bare chest and let them roam freely on his sculpted muscles. She wanted to lie over him and let her soft flesh touch his hardness.

She found herself crying. It has been quite some time since she had left Kurt but the pain of the heartbreak seemed fresh as ever. She debated many times as to if she should talk to Kurt once, but the burden of betrayal was a bit too much for her. Maybe, if she hadn’t sneaked on him transitioning into a bird, she would have tried to hear his side of the story but Kurt had intentionally hidden the information from her.

She had looked up on the internet as the whole scene had intrigued her and left her puzzled. What was the logic behind it? Was Kurt some kind of a magician? She found a lot of different theories on the internet. Some of them claimed that these men were a warlock and could kill someone with their magic. There was another theory that these people were shifters as they could magically change themselves into whatever for they feel like. They are believed to be possessed and they could control the emotions of other people and turn them into their slaves.

She didn’t quite know what was true and the history of Kurt’s life. She wanted to know, but she knew that once she allowed him in, she won’t be able to lock the doors again. If this is what was in their destiny, they had to accept it.

She thought of taking a job somewhere else and leaving the city because it was too hard to live here. She knew that Kurt often visited the home across from her place, but he had never shifted there. She knew he was hurt, but wasn’t he the one responsible for it?

She decided to stop thinking about the old lanes and lock it tight and start a new chapter. This was the only solution left for her. She decided to apply for a job and move away from the city. There was no way she would be able to live in the house where they had together dreamed of a life.

She wore a red skirt and paired it with a white shirt and dabbed a little makeup to look professional enough. As she headed out from her home, she could feel that there was something different. She couldn’t quite pin her hand on what was amiss, but there was something that just didn’t feel right.

She thought that it might be because of the uneasy feeling because of trying a new job. As she headed out, she heard the sound of a child. She turned around and found that there was a little kid who was loitering on the street. The child seemed to be lost and she was crying. Sarah rushed to help the kid, but the kid was crying inconsolably.

As she tried to coax the kid to move sideways so that they could head to the pavement, Sarah spotted a bike racing towards them. The biker seemed to be drunk and paid no notice to Sarah and the little kid.

In that instant, Sarah knew that she was about to die! She could see her life flash in front of her eyes. She saw Kurt and she knew that despite everything that had happened and the betrayal, she loved him. She wanted to kiss him one last time. She wanted to see her parents and let them know that she was happy for the life they had given. There were so many things left to be done, so many memories to be lived, a hundred places to visit! She had wanted three babies and two dogs along with a black cat that would be by her side when she grew old. She wanted to meet Kurt and let him know that she still loved him.

However, as she saw the bike approaching at breakneck speed, she knew there was no way she would make it. She pushed the little child away so as to save her and closed her eyes accepting the finally of her own death. Everything seemed to happen in very quick succession and there was barely any time to react. However, before she knew it, she heard a huge sound and she saw a bike come out of nowhere as it paced up the road and pushed her gently but with enough force and the bike zoomed away in a whoosh.

She was still reeling with the shock and she failed to understand what had happened. Where did the bull come from and how did it manage to save her was something she couldn’t contemplate. As she looked at the bull, the same pair of hazel eyes stared back at her and she realized he was not a bull; he was Kurt – her Kurt. Kurt had come to save her and he had risked his own life to save her.

He stood there and she kept staring at him. She was ashamed of ditching him. She had called him names and had even termed him a beast and yet it was a beast that had saved her life.

Kurt started moving towards the woods and Sarah followed him. She knew he couldn’t make a transition in the broad daylight and Sarah knew that she must follow him. She didn’t say a word, but simply kept walking. He took a turn towards the left and then a sharp turn towards the right.

After moving in there, Sarah found herself in the mystical woods. Kurt looked back at Sarah and then made a transitioning sound. As he changed back to his human form, he stood there naked and looking sexy as hell.

“Are you still angry Sarah?” he asked.

Sarah was embarrassed at her own deeds. She knew that none of the words would be enough to seek forgiveness for the thing she did and so she decided to move ahead, closed the gap between them and pressed her body against his hard chest and kissed him.

The kiss spoke of all those promises they had made and the time they had spent apart. The kiss was a promise in itself of the good times that would follow. The kiss spoke of the longing which each of them felt and it was a testimony to the bond of love that tied them.

“I am sorry for all the harsh words Kurt. Trust me, I love you, but it is just that I couldn’t understand all of it. I felt betrayed and it was a bit too much for me. I didn’t mean to hurt you with my words. I have cried so much. I ached for you. I wanted to kiss you and to be kissed by you. I wanted to sleep with you and let you rediscover every terrain of my body. I am sorry darling. I am so sorry. I should have heard you explain your side of the story.”

Kurt heard her apologize and he kissed her POSEIDONately.

“You don’t need to be sorry for anything. It is not easy to accept us for who we are. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you. It is a part of who I am. I didn't choose the life of a shifter. The shifter life chose me. I can’t do anything about it. Trust me honey, I am not angry at you. Whatever you did was understandable. I love you. There is nothing I can do to stop myself from loving you, but if you choose to walk away, I will never hate you. I know I am not the best person you could be with.”

Sarah cut him mid-sentence and kissed him hot and quick. “You are the only one I will ever need and I don't know if you are the best because I am not going to date the rest. Please take me back. I can’t live without you. Let us move to our dream home and live every promise we have ever made. I want to be with you till the very end of times.”

Kurt looked at her and smiled and was thankful at how happy his life had turned. He had nearly given hope on Sarah. He had thought he had lost her only to have her back. He felt a surreal pleasure that made him happier than he had ever been.

He looked at her pink lips and how they were a little swollen already. He planted a kiss on them and then she slowly parted her lips allowing him to enter her mouth. He claimed her with the most POSEIDONate kiss and pressed his dick on her body. There were too many layers of clothes and he swiftly unzipped her skirt and she stood there wearing just her panties and shirt.

Kurt had to admit she looked sexy in scanty clothes. He pushed his hands underneath her skirt and with his able fingers, flicked the tip of her breast, nuzzling the nipples. She moaned and arched her legs and his dick pressed on her panties. He could feel that she was already wet and so he traveled downwards and let his finger roam around her hot, wet swollen flesh.

“You are so wet. I love it when your body anticipates my move.”

“My body is always aching to invite you in.”

“Then what are we waiting for?”

Kurt gently laid her on the forest floor making sure to place a pile of fallen leaves so that she wasn’t hurt. He then took a twig and placed it on her naval. He took his time to undress her completely and then placed the twig on her wet soft flesh. He kissed her and she screamed his name and the forest came alive with her sexy voice.

Kurt climbed on top of her and pressed his chest to her soft breast and then without any kind of forewarning, pushed his cock inside her. She held on to his back and dug her nails into his bare back. He kissed her and when she kissed back, they swore never to part again.
