Hale POVHOURS EARLIER"Hale, what are you doing?" Damian asked, walking into my room. Looking up from my desk, I gestured to the papers and laptop in front of me. "Working on my thesis, what does it look like I'm doing?"A groan left my brother as he rolled his eyes, as if me doing homework irrita
'Ahh, little brother. Is the run done already?' 'Yeah, and Damian is looking for you. Please don't tell me you are with Ivy.''Perhaps, I am.'I smiled to myself as I watched Ivy stand from her seat and go to the counter to refill the kettle. She was absolutely beautiful, and the fact that her mind
The next few days went by faster than I had expected, and as Wednesday rolled around, I groaned, thinking about the essay I was turning in. Hale had not come back to see me since the night of the run, and the few times James stopped by, he explained that he had to be careful because he didn't want D
'Oh, don't you worry about that. I am capable of doing more than you think.'The playful tone of Hale's message made me blush, 'I look forward to it.'A smirk crossed my face as I sent the text to him. I wasn't a girl to text like this, but something about the guys stirred something inside me and ma
Things had become more interesting over the past few weeks than I had expected them to be. I hadn't realized through it all that I was actually finding myself more and more comfortable here every day. The only lingering worry in my mind was that of Damian, and why he was acting the way he was toward
"No, stop fighting whatever you are and act on what you want."Laughing at me again he shook his head, "get out of here, Ivy. You aren't worth my time."His words broke me, but I refused to cry. I wasn't going to be that girl, and I wasn't going to allow him to see how he affected me. "I am not wort
Stepping into my home, I dropped my bags down upon the ground, and looked around. I was causing more chaos for myself than was needed. Perhaps what I needed to do was to stop trying to argue with Damian at every turn, and just ignore him when he is around."Ivy?" Hale's voice caused me to smile as I
"Then kiss me, and show me." His lips descended upon mine, and as they did, I felt his passion and desire for me growing. His kisses became hungry, and the way he pulled me closer to his body let me know that he was holding back.I was pulled back towards my bedroom, and quickly the door was closed
“Thank you for taking care of him,” she muttered. Tatum rolled his eyes behind her as if unable to believe perhaps that she was saying what she was. The entire situation caused the heat of embarrassment to rush over my cheeks as I cleared my throat.“It’s no problem…but I’m pretty sure it’s he who
“Excuse me,” a soft voice said from the door catching both of our attention. “I heard that.”Cassie stood before us in a long light-blue gown encrusted with gems. Her long hair was in curls half up on her head as the white silver leafed crown sat glittering on top. She looked so far different that
TaylorWhen Tatum came crawling back into the room somewhere near dawn, I’d been wary of where he had gone. I had awoken to an empty space in the bed next to me, and no word as to where had disappeared. Though, when he had come back and told me that I was to head off to the Fae realm in the morning,
She leaned forward, a thoughtful expression adorning her features. “You know the complexities of the realms, the obligations and duties that bind us. I know you love her and you want her to stay, but things aren't that easy, Tate. We need her there. We need her to help fix things before the girls ri
TatumI hadn’t expected Brina to show up at my door looking for answers. At first I was annoyed that my sister would overstep boundaries in order to make things happen between Brina and me. Of course, I was head over heels for this girl. My heart slowly slipped into a bliss like state of happiness
I didn’t need time to think about what he asked. The answer would always be, “Yes. A thousand times, yes.”Time seemed to stand still as our hunger for each other turned into a fury of torn clothing and touches. His hands roamed my body, gripping and grabbing as I pleaded with him to please me. To
Panic filled me with his question. Yes, I had rehearsed what I was going to say, but now that the moment presented itself I was acting like a fool. My mind was completely blank when it came to the plan I was going to stick to.“Uh, well…I wasn’t sure about the customs of the Fae. I was going to ask
Standing outside Tatum’s door, my heart pounded in my chest. The hallway felt suffocating, the air heavy with anticipation. I had rehearsed the words I wanted to say a hundred times, each time hoping to find the courage to confront the man that had helped me recover who I was. A man who helped me to
Taylor Settling into the plush light-blue armchair in Cassie’s room, I took in the grand splendor of the apartment-like suite around me. The decor spoke of royalty and sophistication, with gilded accents and rich fabrics adorning every surface. The soft glow of candlelight flickered, casting an et
