Her reply was timid but it made the smile upon my face grow wider. I was proud of her for sticking up and saying what was on her mind, and honestly, her opinion and suggestion were fucking fantastic. The idea of wearing that dress today sent goosebumps over my skin as I wondered what the guys would
"Look, I've spoken to Silas. There's something that you need to understand and we need to come to terms on this to ensure that Mani doesn't win today.""What are you talking about?" I asked, confused as to why he was telling me he was having conversations with Silas. I could give two fucks less abo
Lucas.The cool, crisp morning air left white puffs of clouds coming from my breath as I stood on the starting line waiting for the starting gun to go off. After the conversation with Finn, I made sure to put his words far from my mind. He stood to my left. With Mani at my right.Both men wore the m
He lunged towards me, moving swiftly to attack. Dodging to the left, I missed his punch but not bouncing back quick enough, I took another hit to my right. Back and forth the fists swung between us. His grasp on my arm tossed me through the air, my body connected with a nearby tree before slumping t
Granted, I was far more confident now then before I had gone to visit my parents."Cassie." Damian's calming voice wrapped around me as he leaned forward over the back of my seat to give me a soft squeeze before kissing the top of my head. "Stop worrying.""How can you say that? You barely know eith
Cassie. I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the games being over, but one thing was for sure, my grandfather didn't disappoint when it came to a coronation party. Stepping into the grand hall, I was greeted by the aroma of freshly cooked meats, breads, and the lingering smell of flowers. I
"A change in circumstance?" Odin repeated, more to himself than anyone else. "Well, by our laws, you are the winner, so in this situation you can do as you please. What are these changes that you want to make?""Well, as you know, I am the prince of my realm. I can't rule two kingdoms, therefore I w
"I will," Damian announced. "Regardless of what he has done, I will train him, and if I can forgive him for his past discretions, then I expect everyone else here to do the same.""You would really take this on, Damian?" Odin asked. "What changed your mind from our conversation the other day?"I had
“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
