Bryce followed through the entire process of the Thanksgiving ceremony. Everything felt strange, surreal and extremely hard on him but he didn't want to give Hera a tough time with her family or make them question his friendship with her so he just had to go through it in silence, making sure to sulk it up as much as he could.Apart from going through the ceremony, It was also the very first time after his mother's death that he had decided to set his foot into a church. He had come to accept the fact that the more he hung around her, the more his walls were falling apart piece by piece.Although Hera was of the opinion that he didn't have to join her for service, he still wanted to do it. She knew how hard it must've been for him to go through it and she didn't want to subject him to any kind of pain for her sake but still, he was adamant on the matter. Hera was there with him the whole time.The priest had started off with a sermon on God and love and the more he listened to it, the
"Goodbye Hera and safe travels." Christina wished her sister with a tight bear hug. She was really going to miss her and it was quite evident. She did the same to Bryce as well while sat on his hunches patiently waiting for the reunion to be over."I'm going to miss both of you." She confessed sadly. Her eyes almost tearing up but she struggled not to. This wasn't like before when she had no hope of seeing them anymore. She did. Bryce had promised her and the sisters also agreed to it. It didn't take much convincing to get them on board with the plan.At first, she had thought that the sisters, especially Martha would disapprove but then they didn't. In Martha's own words, she even said that she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Bryce had really made quite an impression on them so now, it was up to her to fulfill her own end of the bargain."We prepared something for the trip back home." Martha handed them a well packaged basket filled with fruits and other essentials. "It's not
"Yes Bryce, you can." She answered and that's all he needed to hear. That's all that he wanted to hear. He needed Hera too damn much that it's almost like a drug, a fever, an addiction. He should've known that one taste of her will never be enough to calm his raging desires for her. All through the weekend at the convent, he had thought of only one thing, HER. He wanted so badly to be with her, to sit beside her and lie down next to her if possible. It was like he would loose his mind the next minute if he didn't. He tried to curb his feelings but that was the most hardest task he had ever done in his entire life. Staying away from her. He knew just how much he had missed her. It was enough to make a man go insane. To ruin someone to the blank point of utter madness. He was a goner for this woman and it was painfully inevitable at this moment. He swallowed tightly, his eyes trailing her soft pink lips. Full, rosy and plump. So kissable and utterly suckable. "Hell..." He growled in
"Would you let me Cara?" He repeated with a gruff voice like someone who has been starved for a very long time but Hera remained silent. She didn't understand why he kept on asking her to go on. They had already come this far and if she didn't want him to go on, she would've stopped him a long time ago."I told you I want to savor you. Memorize you and brand you." He only uttered a soft but strained chuckle. "But i won't go further unless you tell me to."She kissed his forehead. "You can Bryce. You can go further. I'm not planning on stopping you." She encouraged."In this I will have my way. We'll just see how long you can hold out." Hera had since lost control over her body where he was concerned, and strangely, she didn't mourn the loss.He pressed his erection against her and she gasped. She rubbed her chest against his, urging him on. He moaned and bit into her collarbone. His hands were everywhere, all over her. Every so often he paused to simply look at her, or to whisper erot
Bryce was all smiles as he made his way over to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.At first he didn't want to but Hera had forced him, pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only here for formality sake and because he wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life in him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was getting on her bad side.Doris helped to set up everything he needed for the day's work and he couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible."Would you like me to get you anything sir?" Doris had asked after setting up everything that he needed to continue.He waved her off. "No. You can go and don't let anyone in until i ask you too. I want t
"How long? How long have you um..." Nella trailed off with a sudden laugh that shocked her. Her eyes were misty and it's only a matter of time before the floodgates of tears broke and plummeted down her face like waves. "This woman, how long have you... since when did you realize that you were in love with her?""That's not important Nella and you know that." He lets her down easily, not because he didn't want to tell her but because he didn't see the point to it. He had already hurt her badly with this news and speaking more on the subject will only aggravate and make things worse. "You're one of my best friends and that's the only reason I'm telling you this. It just can't work between us anymore.""So, this is it? For both of us?" She persisted, hoping that he would at least change his mind or tell her that he was joking to say to the least. She wanted so badly for this to be a dream, a very horrible dream that she would wake up from when it's all over but standing here looking at
Hera gently tapped on the keys to Bryce's laptop as she tried to figure out and navigate her way through the website. She had asked him for it and after trying to figure out what she needed it for countless times, he had given up and had no other choice but to give it to her.He had even suggested trying to help her with whatever she wanted to use it for but she only asked him to teach her how to use a search engine and after that, she didn't say anything more. She ended their conversation with saying that she would do it herself.Each time he walked in on her using it, she shut it down and discarded it completely covering all traces of whatever she was up to online. Somehow it bothered him. Was she trying to hide something away from him or was she planning not to let him figure it out at all. Well, since she wouldn't let him know what it is, he won't pry or force her to tell him even though it was eating at his curiosity."Maybe she was texting Ben." He had thought to himself repeate
Three months.That's how long it has been since Hera had that conversation with Bryce and since then, there had been a lot of changes. True to his words, he had helped her. He didn't judge her as much as she had thought he would and was very kind enough to show her the ropes of how everything was done.He was very patient with her even though she made a lot of mistakes. Now while he was busy with work, she was taking lessons and he helped her in any way that he could.Christina on the other hand was also making significant progress. She was taking her lessons very seriously and if all goes well then she'd be writing her final exams to get prepared for college. Hera made sure to speak to her whenever she had the chance to. Christina was smart and Hera was very confident that her sister would definitely ace her papers.She had always been the brain of the family. Not like Hera was bad herself. She knew that her sister would go through any length to finish strong because asides her, she
