It was obviously something he was proud of and to ensure I wasn't rude to the man that could potentially cause me issues with Cassie if I was, I entertained him."Yes, well that is my job," I replied in a flat monotone kind of way, clearly showing my enthusiasm for my task."Man, she's safe here." H
Cassie.The afternoon spent with Finnick wasn't one I had expected. We walked around and talked about a variety of different topics from the way his realm worked to whom his family members were. The way Finn acted was completely different from the type of person I had thought him to be, but I was s
I had many men look at me with hunger in their eyes before. I wasn't naive to the idea of sex and love, but the way that he was looking at me was something much more. As if he had waited his entire life to stand before me."What is it that you're hoping for, Finn?" I asked him, hoping he could shed
"What in the hell is going on?" I gasped as I stepped into the kitchen where they were with Finn at my heel, my eyes connecting with Silas, who stood on the other side of the room leaning against the doorframe with a stern glare upon his face.Pollux's eyes met mine as he sneered in anger. "You need
Cassie.Left in the kitchen, I stood there with everybody trying to figure out exactly what it was I was going to do, and that was the moment I felt the air in the room shift. Lo and behold, Sam, my brother's best friend, came walking around the corner towards me with a solemn expression upon his fa
I mean, yeah, I had sex with Silas and what not… but still that was on my own terms.Groaning internally, I stopped my childish thoughts and went to reply with understanding but was quickly cut off by my mother, who was pissed beyond belief."This is ridiculous. I'm going to go talk to my son," my m
Sleep, that was what I needed. A long day of spending time with both my mother and Finn was wonderful. But the arguments with my brother were absolutely draining, and it seemed nothing I could do would change the way that he saw me.At least not right now.He may have seen me as a monster, but I was
The all consuming darkness wasn't something new to me, and no matter what I tried to do with my life, I was plagued by visions that filtered through my mind, reminding me of everything I didn't want to be. I wasn't supposed to be a queen, princess, or even an ascending heir. I was simply supposed to
“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
