TO TAKE THE ENEMY'S HEART CH-11

Continuing

CAIUS' POV-:

Orion leaves the room, and I'm left alone with this bastard. Till now we never had any huge fight, but his truculant behavior might cause us to clash now.

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

By his behavior it doesn't seem like he was making out with you in any way

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Think whatever you may like

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

(smirks) The marks on his neck were made by me....That's what matters

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

What are you trying to do?

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Hmm....What do you think ?

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Don't give me that shit, just tell me

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Maybe I'm tired of pretending

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

All we do is pretend

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

We pretend that we're bestfriends while hiding the fact that....We'd kill each other is we got the chance

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Have you lost your fuçking-

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

You won't kill me if you got the chance ?

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Because I won't hesitate to behead you

I close the distance between us, grabbing him by his collar as I leer at him. He returns my malicious gaze with his virulent one.

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

(grabs Xavier's collar)

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

I'd kill you hundreds of times if I get the chance

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

But why did you go behind Orion ?

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

It was a declaration......I'm no longer your friend

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

And I'm gonna show it to the world

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

So you played with my toy-

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Don't misunderstand, I do find him interesting

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

(grits his teeth) I'm going easy on you that doesn't mean you mess with what's mine

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Orion isn't yours, he never was

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

(clouts Caius' hand) Let's see who gets to claim him

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

I exhale a frustrated breath, my mind is constantly replaying Orion's reaction on my sudden appearance. I can't seem to forget the marks all over his neck.

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Don't regret it then.... Cause I never fail

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

(laughs) Wanna make a wager ?

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Sure, but don't back away later

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Lets both bet our titles, the one who claims Orion first win

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Fine

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

But by claim... You mean ?

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

(walks closer to Caius) The one who fúcks him first wins

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

He just told you he hasn't lowered his standards to make out with the likes of you

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

(snickers)

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

We'll see about that

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

What about Trevor ?

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

He seems to be behind Orion.... To kill him

Xavier Jaxson 《Archduke's son》

Let's see how that ends

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

(turns around) Trevor is a fool, he doesn't realize Orion isn't weak

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

He just doesn't show his real strength

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

Well, his ignorance will lead to his own demise

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

I'm least bothered by him

Caius Xandros 《Royal Prince》 (ML)

And you better watch out as well (leaves)

I storm out of his room, my eyes finding Orion unknowingly. He's been running around my mind since I saw him, I can't seem to stop thinking about him.

All the other scholarship students were inept at dealing with the nobility, but he doesn't fear my title. His blue tranquil eyes are as treacherous as the deep ocean, his gaze of hatred makes me exhilarated.

Whenever my eyes fall upon his figure, I'm engrossed in thoughts of claiming him. Even though I carry hatred for him, my lust overwhelms it. Even in his belligerent attitude, I find myself drawn to his disobedient nature.

I LOATHED THE WAY HIS NECK WAS COVERED WITH MARKS MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE.

End of Caius' POV.

On the other side-

Orion's POV-:

Orion Hage (MC)

(inside his room)

Orion Hage (MC)

(sitting on the bed while hugging his own knees)

I trained relentlessly for years, throwing away my childhood. Only to protect my stained dignity, and today I feel it was all meaningless.

When I felt Xavier's lips against my flesh, my trauma resurfaced. His marks on my neck is his way of branding me his, each rough kiss pressed against my neck reminded me that my situation hasn't changed a bit.

No matter how strong or fierce I act, in the end I cry alone in my secluded room.

Orion Hage (MC)

(wipes his tears)

Orion Hage (MC)

He did this....just to aggravate Caius ?

Orion Hage (MC)

(grits his teeth) I swear I'll make him pay for this humiliation

Orion Hage (MC)
