{Sequel to Bitten. Read that one first!} The wedding is just around the corner and wedded bliss is fastly approaching. Everything is happening smoothly, but nothing is ever how it appears.

Will Jillie and Jarren be able to make it through what's ahead of them...again?
Lihat lebih banyakJillieThanksgiving dinner was absolutely exhausting, and it was all due to my aunt Kassie. She just had they way about her. Jarren had been right, and though I didn’t condone the way he brought it up, he’d hit the nail on the head. Misery loved company and Kassie was quite miserable. Kaileeh and I were now sitting in my living room watching aLifetimemovie. She hadn’t wanted to be around her mom and decided to stay with Jarren and me instead until they flew out Sunday morning. I was tempted to ask her what was going on between her and Garret, but Jarren had assured me that it was something they needed to work through on their own. So just like with the Rian and S
Jarren Long after Kaileeh returned to the house, I sat on the bench, staring into the trees. There was so much going on around me, and for the first time, I felt helpless, crippled by the intensity of the situation. It didn’t seem that I could catch a break. When I thought I had one thing under control, something would happen to make it more difficult, or something else would come up altogether. Dread was something that I was beginning to feel quite often, and that was rare for my kind. Life was constantly surprising people, but I felt as if I’d had my fair share of surprises in the three hundred and twenty-eight years I had been alive. Someone, somewhere, thought differently. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I
Jarren“Baby, whatever you put on, you’ll look great in it,” I called into the closet, while I sat on the bed waiting for Jillie to get dressed.“Shut up, Jarren,” she shot back, and I had to keep myself from smiling.“What exactly is the problem?” I questioned, lying back on the bed.“My pants don’t fit, and my shirts are way too tight now,” she responded, walking out of the closet. I looked over at her and couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. She was almost thirty-one weeks, and it was completely noticeable. It was as if she’d just popped. Sitting back up, I held my arms out, and she walked into them. She laid her head on my shoulder as I rubbed her back. I didn’t need her getting upset right now. We would have enough of that to come in the next f
JarrenIt was hard to believe that Jillie was already twenty-eight weeks pregnant. It seemed like time was ticking by quickly, and it wouldn’t be long before our baby was here. I still hadn’t told her that I was going with Christen, even though I was sure she already knew. For some reason, I just couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. It would only serve to upset her, and I didn’t want that. Pulling myself from my thoughts, I looked over to the screen from the chair I was sitting in beside the bed Jillie was lying on. Hollie was pointing out the baby’s body parts to us. Excitement was written all over Jillie’s face, and I couldn’t help but smile. It amazed me how far she’d come from the first time Reid told her she was pregnant. She went from deni
JillieEverything was decorated so authentically. I was speechless when we stepped into the house. It felt as if I’d stepped into a horror movie. I stopped to examine nearly everything that I saw. Occasionally, Jarren would pull on my hand, reminding me that we were still in the hallway. I allowed him to lead me into the living room where the party would be held. The kids were already there dancing to the music that was playing or engaging in one of the games that were spread about throughout the place. Glancing around the room, I saw that Jarren and I were the first to arrive out of the people I’d invited. It wasn’t long before one of them noticed our presenc
Jillie“It’s Halloween!” Mina yelled as she burst through my bedroom door. While I nearly had a heart attack, Jarren just rolled his eyes and tightened his arms around me. We had been lying down watching a movie before she so rudely burst in.“Don’t you knock?” I questioned. “How did you get in the house in the first place?”“I have a key, duh!”she exclaimed with a goofy grin.“Who gave you a key?”I questioned with a raised brow, preparing myself to strangle Jarren.
JillieI wasn’t sure how long I’d lay there crying when I felt the bed dip behind me. Jarren’s unique smell instantly surrounded me as his arm wrapped around my waist. He began to slowly rub my stomach as he whispered soothing words to me, and I wanted to die.“He’s gone,”I stated through my tears.“It’s alright, Piccolo. He’ll be back. As much as it kills me to say this, he loves you. He won’t be able to stay away.”I shook my head, disagreeing. “No, he’s really gone this time.”Jarren sighed and pulled me closer to him. I knew he might have thought I was crying over another man, but it was a culmination of everything. I was sure my hormones were giving me an extra boost, too. When I could pul
JillieI was utterly confused. Jarren was acting odd, and I had no idea what that was supposed to mean, but I knew how to find out. Turning, I began to head into the room but stopped only a few steps over the threshold. Air trapped itself in my lungs. Even with his back to me, I would know him anywhere.“Aaden,” I stated softly.“Happy birthday, baby girl.” He responded, turning to me.“What are you doing here?”He smiled slightly. “I haven’t missed a birthday you’ve had since Kindergarten.”“I thought you said-”“I know what I said,”he said, cutting me off. “Let’s just say that Jarren can be very persuasive when necessary.”He finished rubbing his jaw.I sat on the bed and just stared at him for a moment. I would have to
Jarren“Jarren, you promised,” Jillie stated as we pulled up to her parent’s house.There were more cars than I thought it would be, but I had prepared myself for much more. Maybe Teya did take what I said into consideration after all. I parked the car before getting out and heading around to Jillie’s side. I took her hand and led the way up to the door. We bypassed knocking and walked straight inside. There were voices coming from the kitchen as we made our way towards it.“Jillie!” Teya exclaimed, rushing to us. She all but knocked me out of the way to get to Jillie. Of course, everyone else in the room thought that was hilarious.&nbs
