2 Hungry? (2/2)

Embry immediately replied,

”What r u gonna do, Boss?”

”See him 4 myself. He might be a Werewolf, but there's still strange about him. I'll have to kill him if he isn't completely honest with us.”

”Do you mean that he might be hired by the Venandis?”

”He's been hiding out for 10 years. It's a possible explanation that they kidnapped him or something, raised him to be loyal to them, and made him enter our gang to kill us.”

Ezlynn grabbed a bathrobe from a hanger and garbed herself with it. She began to dry her hair, waiting for Embry's response. The moisture from her extensive, silky hair shook off as Embry finally replied,

”Fine. He said ”okay” and that he'll come to our headquarters at 9 tomorrow night.”

Werewolves were prone to sunlight, just like Vampires. It was one of the reasons why Ezlynn and her gang never worked during the daytime. Werewolves and Vampires were pretty similar, except for the fact that Vampires went fully extinct during the Great War. The human government had never realized that Werewolves were as prone to sunlight as the Vampires. Soldiers from the government had assailed Vampires by using artificial sunlight, but never realized that Werewolves were also the same. However, they were killed off anyway, outnumbered to the humans.

Ezlynn clicked off her dryer, and nimbled to her closet, grabbing a casual t-shirt and shorts. She took off the bathrobe and clad herself with it, relieved to be in fresh clothing again. Collins was already downstairs, cooking, for they were both famished. The smell of food wafted up the air to Ezlynn as she rushed downstairs. Her hunger had erased any concerns about the new member.

”Collins-”

Suddenly, Ezlynn let out a tiny shriek as she averted her eyes with her hands. Collins was half-naked, wearing only his shorts. His dense muscles were unveiled by the lack of clothing, with his broad shoulders and muscular figure He was a miraculous sight and Ezylnn couldn't help but slightly peek through her fingers, discerning his brawny chest and abdomen.

”Go get some clothes on!” she screamed.

Collins turned around and beamed at her, divulging his shiny teeth and strong jawline.

”Ah, you're here.” he walked up to her. He had to bend down to match Ezlynn's height. Though she was quite tall, she was no match for him when it came to height. Collins slowly lifted Ezlynn's hands off her face, and whispered too innocently to her ear, ”Why? I thought you were hungry.”

Ezlynn blushed deeply and argued,

”I meant that I was hungry for FOOD! Don't take it the wrong way.”

Collins chuckled and brought out the beef that he was cooking.

”I really can't imagine that you're the same person that murdered that Venandi so ruthlessly back there,” he said, giving her a fork to eat with.

Ezlynn was silent for a few seconds, then answered,

”Do you want me to prove it?” she said, approaching Collins. Her tone of voice had changed.

”Go ahead then-”

Ezlynn fiercely connected their lips together by dragging his neck down with her hand to kiss her cherry lips. She had to be on her tiptoes in order to kiss him properly. It was a few seconds of pure silence. Collins, indeed astounded by her abruptness, stood still as her grip on his neck loosened and she finally let go of him.

”Does this seem different then what it was back in the alley?” her pompous countenance had returned in her silver eyes. She smiled with dignity as she slowly let go of his neck.

Collins gazed at her and smiled. Ezlynn's ambivalence had always attracted him.

”Gosh, you really are hungry,” he whispered.
