BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 171: Black Sidetrack

Chapter 171: Black Sidetrack

After the small drive around the Hometown, Liam and Riley were both in the Mayor’s Office.

"You were attacked by the ghoul killer?" Miles said, stunned, not believing his ears. The ghoul killer was alive? The very one who persecuted them like they were nothing. "I thought he was dead!"

"That’s what we thought too until he showed up on our plane like nothing happened," Riley said crossing her leg, leaning back on her seat, still pissed their honeymoon was ruined by him, he took them by surprise something they never thought of.

"We have a reason to believe Vincent Jones is behind this" Liam spoke up in a firm tone.

"Vincent Jones, Barbra Jones’ brother?... but I thought the hunt was over, the government made that very clear, what we are dealing with is the opposing party who still don’t accept our kind" he states.

"That’s what we thought too, but it seems like Vincent has something up his sleeves, I’m sure Seth does too," Liam said certainly, that sadistic Seth always outsmarted them, but definitely not this time he hoped. Whatever plan he would bring, he hoped to crush them, their past experience with him was a bad memory, he recked havoc wherever he goes, now he was working with Vincent, who knew what they were set to accomplish ’together’ it was like two explosive bombs meeting and causing devilish destruction in everything they touched.

"The ghoul killer believes we killed Barbra, surely it’s Vincent doing, manipulating runs in the family," Riley said sarcastically. She never considered being a Jones and she never will be. They were a lost cause to her.

"This is too much. If he decides to start up the hunt..." Miles said as his eyes widened in horror, he was in fear, he knew how many loved ones he had lost when the hunt was still on, it was one of his darkest days.

"Relax Miles, this Hometown is off the radar, I made sure of it, it’s off the grid, even if they come here by chance as long as they don’t have the passage they will meet nothing here, this place is well hidden" Liam assured him, he made sure all the Hometowns were lying off the grid, his experience with the former ghoul underground taught him that, thank God technology was rapid these days or he wouldn’t have pulled it off.

Miles sighed nodding, but fear was still evident in his eyes.

"My wife and I have to go back to New York, but we can’t do that when we know they are still out there tracking us, we have to be on the low for now, until we’re sure it’s safe" Liam states.

"Sure, tell me how many days are you staying, I will ensure we prepare a building to your taste," Miles said more than happy to have them, it was an honor to have them both.

"A week or so" Liam shrugged, they would have to lay low enough.

"It’s no problem I will have the others get your place ready"

Liam gave a slight nod with a smile against his lips as the man rushed out, Miles was always loyal as ever, even though he was twice Liam’s age.

His gaze drifts to his wife.

"What’s wrong you seem quieter than ever," Liam said puzzled.

Riley gave a heavy sigh before facing him.

"I’m fine, just wanna get off these clothes as soon as possible," she said.

She was right, they had to get off these clothes, it was still wet from when Liam landed in the water after the flight.

But for some reason, Liam felt there was something more bothering her.

***

"I hope it’s to your taste," Miles said as he led the couple to a modern bungalow, it was a bit far ahead in the woods.

"Of course it’s okay," Liam said as they stood at the entrance.

The skies are getting dark.

Miles gave a slight bow before walking away, leaving Liam and Riley alone, until he was out of sight.

They faced each other, a moment of silence between them, their ardent gaze sinking within each other, then like a clash of thunder they came at each other with a mouth-watering kiss, Riley moaned loudly as Liam ravished her lips like a mad man, her arms wrapped around his neck tightly so eager to feel his lips more, but she couldn’t have enough, she wanted him so badly that it made her heart ache.

Their mouths connect to every dot and pace, in perfect sync. Liam knew Riley wanted him just as much as he did, Leaning to her request, he swam her off her feet, straddling her on his waist, her legs wrapping tightly on his waist tightly.

Liam turned using his back to open the door, the door shutting close behind them.

The light went on automatically, unaware of where they were going as they both consumed each other in their hot passionate kisses, their sounds of her mouth jamming together and the eager whimper coming from both of them.

Riley moaned as her butt found the table, her legs still wrapped around his waist tightly.

Liam’s hand slid under her shirt lifting it above her head, flinging it at a corner.

"Wish our honeymoon wasn’t ruined," Riley said as Liam trailed hot kisses on her neck, she moaned loudly, loving the feel of his lips against her skin.

"It doesn’t have to be ruined," Liam said, trailing kisses all the way down to her chest and then her breasts.

Riley moaned in ecstasy as her head drew backward, her lips went apart, as her fingers duck in his hair. His sucking actions to her nipples made her head spark in light, and just when he nips it.

"Liam!" She gasps.

Liam pulled away, his gaze meeting hers.

"Will you tell me what’s going on in your head?" He asked curiously.

"It’s nothing," Riley said, looking away.

"Babe" he began.

"I have to take a shower," she said in haste.

"Then we will"

"Alone," she said clearly, making Liam blink puzzled by her words.

In silence, he moved away so that she could climb down from the table.

Liam watches as a half-naked Riley walks to the lobby, leaving him puzzled.

***

Riley took a deep breath sighing, she loved the feel of the warm water pouring down her head. Her eyes grew wistful, she didn’t know why she acted that way, she has been a bit off ever since she had those thoughts today, about being on the sidelines and the desire to support her husband more, and she stepped up her game now she was officially an O’Brien.

Riley groaned in frustration, placing her head on the tile wall.

"Stupid" she cursed herself for acting that way towards Liam.

She took a deep breath once more as she got out of the shower, wrapped a white towel around her frame stepping into the room.

She froze when she saw Liam on the couch beside the bed, his gaze on hers. She noticed his clothes changed, for some reason the air around them was hot and tense, she wondered why... oh right it was her fault.

Riley cleared her throat hoping to ease the hot air around them, but it didn’t seem to help.

"Where did you shower?" She asked a bit shaky.

Damn his gaze was intense and his silence was even more deadly than normal.

"The visitors" he answered in a firm tone.

"Oh," she just shrugged before walking to the wardrobe.

The room was wide and well furnished, but it wasn’t compared to theirs back in New York.

Riley opened the wardrobe still feeling his intense gaze on her back, it burned!

"Okay... is everything okay?" She hissed facing him.

"Why are you staring?" she asked.

"I should be the one to ask if everything is okay with you," he said, raising an eyebrow.

Riley just looks away.

"Come here" he ordered, sending a shiver down Riley’s spine, she always loved it when he uses his authority tone on her, it turns her on.

"In the towel or off the towel?" She said huskily as a smirk spread her lips.

Liam smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes and then Riley knew she hurt him with her actions, he was probably just trying to get it out of her.

With a heavy sigh, she walked towards him, she sat on his lap, leaning down, the towel almost sliding off. But none of them cared.

"I’m sorry," Riley said faintly. Knowing wasn’t pleased with what she did, she felt it. Liam was sensitive after all.

"You know you can tell me anything," Liam said softly as he gently stroked her cheek with his thumb, Riley leaned in his touch.

"Is it about the honeymoon?!"

"Fuck no," Riley said in haste.

Liam chuckles slightly at her outburst.

"Then what’s wrong?!" He asked once more in a serious tone, stroking her cheek with his thumb. He really needed to know, so that he would take it away.
