Tortured Souls (Rebels of Sandland 2)

Legion- Not all of them. The main one still comes around every now and then. When he does, I love taunting him. He’s got years of retribution coming his way. I dish it out in small doses though. I like keeping him on his toes. He’ll never get too comfortable ‘cos he’ll never know when or where I might strike next.

LadyStoneheart23- You said the main one. Two of them carved their initials into you. Where’s the other one?

The screen went silent and I waited.

LadyStoneheart23- Do you still see the other one too?

Legion- Not anymore.

He changed the subject pretty quickly after that.

Legion- You’ve been coming on here a lot more lately. Is there any reason why you’re hiding out on here?

LadyStoneheart23- I prefer being here to being out there.

Legion- Is that because you’re avoiding facing your fears?

LadyStoneheart23- Why should I have to face anything?

Legion- You shouldn’t, but locking yourself away isn’t good for you, little warrior. Remember what I said. You are strong. You are powerful. No one can take that away from you.

LadyStoneheart23- You come on here as much as I do.

Legion- Ah. But am I sitting in a bedroom, or in a café chatting to you on my phone? I could be anywhere.

LadyStoneheart23- Are you? At a café, I mean?

Legion- Not this time. I’m in my bedroom. Alone. Talking to you.

I don’t know why, but my stomach flipped. He was alone, in his room, talking to me. A totally innocent statement and yet I felt a little tingle of something.

Ladystoneheart23- I’m alone too. In my room.

Stupid statement, Harper. He already knew that.

Legion- When was the last time you had a guy in your room?

LadyStoneheart23- A long, long time.

Legion- I’m flattered.

LadyStoneheart23-You should be. I don’t open my doors for anyone.

Legion- But you have for me.

LadyStoneheart23- Yeah. I feel safe with you.

Legion- And what if what I wanted to do wasn’t safe?

LadyStoneheart23- Well, that depends.

Legion- On what?

LadyStoneheart23- On whether I’d enjoy it.

Legion- Oh, you’d enjoy it.

I couldn’t type fast enough. I’d never been this excited, nervous and turned on before. Well, not for a long time, anyway. I had a feeling Legion had more wicked intent than he let on, and I was intrigued.
