Raising his hand, he ran through my hair before his palm rested upon my cheek. His thumb brushed against the skin as I closed my eyes and pressed my face into his palm just a little bit more. Only a minute ago, we were having a moment that I never wanted to stop, and once again I was left begging f
Silas.Storming from her room, I made my way down the hall, reeling over the events that had just transpired. Cassie wasn't like any other woman I had ever encountered in my life, and I was completely enamored by her in every way. Not only had she completely taken over my mind, she had also captured
"Don't speak of it," I snapped in reply. "That part of my life died with me the day I came here."Shrugging her shoulders, Freya looked down at her nails and smirked. "All I was simply hinting at, Silas, is that anything is possible. In all honesty, I'm curious to see what is going to happen with he
Cassie.The sounds of battle echoed around me within the stadium. My eyes couldn't look away from the massacre happening in front of me, and as much as I wanted to tell them to stop because this was more than brutal, I knew I couldn't. There had to have been at least fifty people on those training f
Her words were harsh but she was accurate so I couldn't fault her for that. "I suppose you're right," I mumbled under my breath, causing her to laugh again. "Have you seen any of them today?" My mind instantly went to Silas and my heart dropped. "No."I had an amazing evening with him that comple
"I'm sorry, who are you?"He stared at me for a moment before a smile crossed his lips. "Balder… your uncle."Balder… I had been learning about the gods more and more with my time here and if I remember correctly, Balder was supposed to be dead. "Aren't you supposed to be dead? Like you're allergic
Cassie.I wasn't quite sure what to make of what Balder had said, but the more and more I thought about it, I couldn't help but wonder if he was trying to tell me something secretly without exactly coming out and saying it, which seemed to be the usual kind of thing that happened around this place.
"If that's what you think this entire thing is then I'm afraid you're wrong." Hearing me say he was wrong seemed to puzzle him, giving me the opportunity I needed to put him in his place. "You see, the winner won't win me. He will win the opportunity to please me however I see fit for the rest of hi
“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
