Chapter 83 : Welcome to Breles

*Eliza*

My body exploded with warmth and fire. Moaning, I threw my head back on the pillows and wrapped my arms around his neck.

My thighs clenched around Jared's hips and my insides tightened around his thick c**k.

Jared's hot breath tickled my neck. His hands ran up and down my sides, tingles shooting into my abdomen and down my legs.

My insides quivered around him.

Jared groaned, thrusting faster.

I rolled my hips to meet his thrusts, pleasure building in my core, ready to snap.

He kissed and nipped at my neck, holding my hips firmly as he moved inside of me.

Gasping and panting, I moved with him, my body arching and responding to each thrust.

The pleasure inside of me built until…

I moaned and writhed on the bed, my body shuddering as I fell over the edge of bliss.

Jared's c**k trembled and he groaned, releasing inside of me.

Sighing, I hugged him against me, refusing to let him go. I didn't want him to move away. I wanted to stay connected, feeling him all around me.

***

Jared and I fell asleep still wrapped in each other's arms.

When we woke up, I immediately knew the boat wasn't moving anymore. I got up and went to the window.

We'd made it to Breles.

Jared yawned and came up behind me, hugging me against his chest.

I sighed and leaned back against him. His body was so warm, arms so strong, I almost forgot all about why we were there. I turned to face him, slipping my arms around his neck and pressing my breasts to his firm, muscular chest.

Jared smirked at me and cupped my butt.

I bit my lower lip and gasped. The bed was just a few feet behind him. I could just push him back and we could stay there all morning…

A horn blasted outside, making me jump, and I was pulled back to the present. We were here, in my homeland.

The thought unsettled me for a moment and I looked at the floor.

“We made it," I said.

“Isn't that a good thing?"

I pulled away from Jared and found some clothes to wear.

“Yes, it is good that we are here. There's just… a lot…"

Sighing, I shook my head. I'd been putting off thinking about what I'd tell my family or how I'd reach out to them. They weren't exactly expecting me and there was a lot they didn't know about. Talking to them would come with a boatload of questions.

“I don't want to reach out to my family… at least, not quite yet," I told Jared as he dressed.

Jared frowned and creased his brow. “Are you sure?"

I nodded. “It's not that I don't want to see them. But like you said, time is of the essence. We should focus on finding Mila and the Diadem before it is too late."

“Alright, it does seem like we should focus on the most time sensitive venture first."

“Yeah. My parents will be there when we are done. Besides, with all the questions they'll ask, we might get stuck answering them until the curse expires."

I giggled and started packing everything I could carry into a backpack. Everything we'd need to find the Diadem.

“Well, the day isn't getting any younger. Let's get out there and start searching."

Jared grabbed his backpack and we left the ship.

There was some hairy, burly crew member that swung by before we took the plank to the dock.

“Welcome to the Realm of Light," he said, waving to Jared.

“Thanks. Maybe we'll see you again on the return journey." Jared waved back.

“Who's that?" I asked, stepping onto the bouncy plank as I left the ship. Jared followed close behind.

“He kept me company while you were busy deciphering those old scrolls."

Breles was busy. With a trading vessel and several passenger vessels arriving all at once, the docks were full of people moving around. There were a lot of people greeting the new arrivals.

I took Jared's hand and we stuck close together. I kept my head down, trying to avoid contact. It would be an odd coincidence if anyone that knew me just happened to be hanging around the docks but I didn't want to take any chances.

“Eliza!"

I glanced at Jared.

“Someone is calling for you."

“Come on," I said. I pulled him further into the crowd.

“Eliza, where are you going!?" that voice called again.

I winced. If they kept shouting my name, it would defeat the whole purpose of trying to travel covertly.

“Ugh. We've got to tell them to stop yelling my name," I muttered.

“Good call. I was going to say, wasn't the whole point of traveling on a trading vessel to avoid detection."

Jared smirked at me.

I scoffed and shook my head. We headed out into the open where the people calling to me could see us.

Charlie and Oliver raced over as soon as they saw me.

“Were you trying to run from us?" Charlie asked, crossing his arms.

“No… not exactly…"

“We weren't expecting to see you here," Oliver said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. “Oh, and who is this?"

I glanced apologetically at Jared. It was too late to escape now.

“Oliver, Charlie, this is Jared. These are my second cousins." I motioned to the two brothers.

“It is nice to meet you," Jared said, without missing a beat. He shook their hands.

“And how do you know Eliza?" Charlie asked. He circled around Jared like a vulture circling for a meal.

“Come on, guys, we don't have time for this. There is a reason we were trying to travel without being seen."

“Yeah, what a good idea that was! Do you know how pissed the entire family is at you for just disappearing?" Oliver asked, his voice harsh.

“I know… I mean, I should have sent word before now." I shrugged helplessly. There wasn't much I could do about it now.

“Everyone is absolutely livid. How could you just take off like that with no word? It was like you vanished!" Charlie scolded.

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Hey, the last time I checked, I am an adult and can make my own decisions."

“Well, that wasn't a very good one, was it?" Charlie challenged.

Sighing, I shook my head. “Do I need to break down all the amazing decisions you've made in your life?"

Charlie gave a sheepish grin and held his hands up in surrender. “No, no. Please, don't do that."

“Then stop judging mine!"

“Okay, okay. I'm mostly just glad to see you're okay," Charlie admitted.

“Me too. My family is visiting for a bit but your parents… they took off to the Dark Realm to try and find you. They seemed determined not to come back until they brought you home," Oliver explained.

I chewed my lower lip and nodded. My parents were probably really worried about me. Worried and pissed, by the sounds of it. I wondered if we'd just missed each other.

It was a little ironic that they were in the Dark Realm ready to drag me back and I'd shown up in the Light Realm on my own.

I looped my arms around myself. I did feel guilty for the trouble I'd caused. There were a lot of people that cared about me and clearly, they were upset and worried by my disappearance. I should have sent word sooner.

But every time I had a moment to breathe, there had been more pressing demands on my time and attention.

“I bet you've had your hands full with her, huh?" Charlie asked Jared.

I put my hands on my hips. “Hey!"

“You have no idea," Jared grinned.

“What!?" I gasped in shock.

Jared looped his arm around my shoulders. “It's not like I haven't enjoyed it."

I relaxed a little and shook my head at Oliver and Charlie.

“You guys, stop making trouble for me. Jared and I are here on very important business and time is a major factor."

Unconsciously, I rubbed my arm. Whenever I was in public, I tried to keep it covered so people wouldn't see the curse tattoo. But I could feel it creeping along my arm, getting stronger and darker every day.

“Alright, alright, we won't hold you up. Are you staying at the house?" Charlie asked.

I looked down the road that led to the family home. It felt like forever, another life, since I'd been there. My life had changed so much. I had changed so much.

“Right now, we are trying to find Ciana and Theo." Jared interjected.

I nodded in agreement.

After studying all the information in the books that the Sabroeef elder had lent us, I'd determined going to Ciana and Theo would be the fastest way to find Mila.

Ciana was her daughter and I knew that she was easier to find than some mysterious witch who seemed to want to be hidden.

If anyone knew where Mila was, it would be her daughter.

“Ciana and Theo?" Oliver asked. He rubbed his chin and looked off into the distance. “Well, the last I heard, they were living in Winter Forest."

I perked right up. “Good, that's exactly where we need to go, then."

“We can get you there. There's an airport not too far from here," Oliver offered.

“Thanks, that is appreciated." I nodded, and Jared and I followed them off the docks.

“So, Jared, what exactly are your intentions with Eliza?" Charlie asked. He clapped Jared on the shoulder.

“I'm not sure what you mean," Jared said.

He glanced sideways at me and I shook my head. I could tell he was playing dumb and I rolled my eyes at him.

“Well, the two of you are obviously close. I mean, you traveled into another realm with her. What's up with that?"

“Jared and I have shared… a few experiences. Now we are here trying to take care of some lingering issues," I said.

I wasn't sure how much I wanted to tell them. If we told them about the curse, they'd have all kinds of questions that Jared and I didn't have the time to answer!

My internal agitation encouraged the curse shadow within me to stir. It seemed angry, it that was possible, like it knew I was trying to get rid of it.

Absently, I played with the locket on my neck, hooking the chain around my chin and sliding the locket back and forth, making a sawing sound.

“And Ciana and Theo are going to help? What exactly did you get her into?" Oliver arched an eyebrow at Jared.

“She got herself into it," Jared grumbled.

“So, I take it you weren't planning on visiting us, then?" Charlie asked, falling into step beside me.

“Well…"

“Ouch!" Oliver said, clutching his heart dramatically, like I'd stabbed him. He staggered back a few steps for extra emphasis.

“I'm sorry. But like I said, Jared and I are on a tight schedule. We were going to do what we came here to do and then we were going to plan visits and all that."

“I suppose that is acceptable," Charlie nodded.

“You'll still come see us again after you take care of this mysterious business, right?" Oliver asked.

“We will definitely try," I assured.

Charlie and Oliver seemed satisfied with that answer and they stopped all the interrogations.

I was glad of that because I really didn't want to lie but I didn't want them to get involved, either.

Our next stop was the airport.
