Lucas “You both decided to finally show your face again?” I questioned them when they finally got down the stairs. They looked at me and then back at themselves before laughing in unison. I scoffed and stood up. “We need to talk,” I told Cross. He nodded and looked at our mate who smiled, leaned him, and kissed him on the lips right in front of me. It didn’t feel weird nor did I feel jealous which might sound strange but it did not to me. “I will be in my room.” Lia told me and off she went without giving me my kiss. Well, I can always get mine once I send the psycho on his way. “Let’s talk over there,” I said, pointing Cross in the direction of my home bar. “Like a drink?” I offered and pulled out a second glass but he shook his head. “No, I have to drive.” “Right, I forgot you brought us back here. I see that you guys have made up, congratulations.” I told him. He smiled. A happy smile and for a moment I was reminded of a boy from years ago, a boy I spent m
Cross “You haven’t changed at all.” I let out before I could stop myself. I have noticed some of his old habits that I thought he would have outgrown but he surely never changed. He has always been an over-thinker. Not just an over-thinker, he also doesn’t know how to wait. I can already see him trying to figure out what the council was up to and if they knew or not. I really didn’t want to worry about those things especially now that we have our mate back with us and safe. Plus, we made up. The kiss after will stay with me for a very long time. It was the best kiss of my life. “What do you mean by that?” Lucas asked. I smiled at him. I can’t remember the last time I smiled at him so happily but I feel truly happy right now so yeah, he gets to benefit from my happiness because he was a major part of the reason. If he hadn’t talked me into going to Thalia today, I would have waited until my week to make up with her. “You know the energy you give off right? Especially when
Cross “I think we shouldn’t worry about the council for now. To be honest, it’s not like they can beat us. We are just being careful because we don’t want them to catch us off-guard and not because we are scared of them. They are no match for one of us not to talk of both of us.” I told him after about a minute of complete silence. He looked at me and nodded in agreement. “You are right about them not being a match for us but still, I can’t help but be worried. Like this directly affects us. If we let our guard down and something happens, it will be bad for us and even worse for Thalia and I don’t want anything to hurt her.” He agreed. “She won’t hurt when she is with us. We can protect her. No one stands a chance.” I snickered. “I feel the same too. Wow, we have been agreeing on a lot lately. I think you should leave before we agree too much and start hugging.” I laughed at his joke. He hasn’t changed at all. He still got the joke. I used to think he would end up doing
Thalia “Lia?” I opened my eyes when I heard my name and blinked to clear my eyes. I looked around wondering when I fell asleep and how long I had been sleeping for. The last thing I remember doing was picking up my book to study because I haven’t been doing much of that lately. It’s still the beginning of the semester so I still have a lot of time to catch up. I must have fallen asleep. “Are you awake now? You have been sleeping for hours,” I yawned and stretched. I needed that sleep. I smiled apologetically at Lucas. I didn’t mean to take a nap. It just happened. “You should eat something.” My stomach rumbled as if it heard Lucas’s words. I held my stomach and smiled at him again. The only food I had today was the one Mr. Lim had gotten for me. I played with the food so I didn’t eat much of it. I was too anxious to actually eat. “Yes, please. Feed me.” I told him. He reached for my hand and I gave it to him. He helped me out of my bed and held my hand still as we b
Thalia “Tell me.” His voice sent a jolt of heat through my body and my heart beat rate increased. I swallowed and tried to keep my lips wet. He groaned and lowered his face to my neck. I tilted my head to the side to give him better access. His breath on my neck sent jolts of electric charge through my body. I inhaled deeply as I felt him lick me there. God, I wanted him so much I could die. When he moved his face away from my neck, I almost cried out in protest. I bit down hard on my lips to stop myself and our eyes met, I saw the fire in his eyes. He wanted me just as much as I wanted him. I only noticed his growing erection when he shifted beneath me. I ground my hips on him and he growled lustfully. “Stop doing that.” He warned me again. I smiled slyly, happy that I wasn’t the only one affected, and did it again. He stopped my movement by holding my waist still. “Tell me your expectations,” Oh, we are still doing that? I forgot until he asked again. Fine. I will
Thalia “Is that a good preview of what your expectations were?” I smiled when he asked me the question and nodded. It was more than a good preview. It was beyond words for me. A kiss like that would be perfect for my daily routine. Something to make my legs weak and my brain foggy. “I need words babes, words.” I smiled again. He called me ‘babes’ I can’t remember the last time I was called that and it might be the barest minimum for others but for me, it was too cute and wholesome to not be special. “What if I can’t speak because you kissed all my words away?” I let out. He smirked and cocked his head to the side with a satisfying snugged look that did a lot to enhance his handsome face. “You are good for my ego.” He whispered. I couldn’t stop staring at his lips as he spoke. How can a man be so fucking perfect? “I am just stating facts. If I wasn’t sitting on you, I probably would have collapsed to the ground. That’s how weak-legged your kiss left me.” I told
Thalia “No don’t, I will do it myself.” He let out, stopping me from taking off my clothes by myself after he put me down in his bedroom. I obeyed immediately, my hands falling to my sides. I only tried to take off my clothes myself because I wanted to speed up the process. Who was I kidding, of course, he would want to take control completely. I just have to be patient. The saying goes, good things happen to those who are patient, right? I don’t know if I said it right though. “Why?” I asked when he kept staring at me without doing anything. He smiled. “Nothing, I just like watching you have your conflicted thoughts.” I cocked my head to the side and folded my hands behind my back, the movement making my boobs push forward. The action wasn’t lost to him. His sharp intake of breath told me that he was affected by that small gesture even though it had been unintentional. “Are you going to do that all night?” I let out when he continued watching me. He smiled and pulled me
Thalia “You are a slut.” The tiny nagging voice in my head judged me. I lost count of how many times it has judged me in the past week. Not like I disagreed with her or anything. If I am being honest. I might be a slut. Yeah, why else would I have slept with two different men on two different nights within a week? Scrap that, within two nights! It still felt like a surreal experience for me and if I didn’t have the marks on the bridge between my neck and shoulder, I would have concluded that I dreamt it. “It wasn't a dream. It really happened.” I whispered as I put the finishing touches to my makeup. It was the first day of the new school year and honestly, I just want this year to run through so that I will be in my finals. I am so tired of school and just want to run away but I can’t do that. “You can’t afford to not graduate.” I told myself. If I ever don't graduate, I am damn sure my parents will disown me. They have been hinting at it for years now. The only thing still
Thalia “No don’t, I will do it myself.” He let out, stopping me from taking off my clothes by myself after he put me down in his bedroom. I obeyed immediately, my hands falling to my sides.

Lucas “What a day,” I whispered and took a sip from my beer. Don’t ask why I was drinking beer by this time. I needed it. Cross was currently talking to our mate in her room, I told him to and gave them space. They needed to talk and make up. He was sorry and she needed to know he was. That doesn’t make me a good man, I just thought it was necessary after what happened today. Good, I can’t remember the last time I fought with a group of men and I have never fought with humans as a group. I didn’t see them as a threat but today, those guys had been a threat not like they were a match for me. I easily took them out and watched them struggle to get up. Only one of them got to me and the fucker played dirty. I still won. Not to mention that I healed already while they will spend some days in pain. I smiled. That’s what they get for trying to kidnap my beautiful mate. They almost succeeded. Almost. Thankfully, they didn’t succeed. We found her in time and got her back t
Thalia “That’s not what I came to talk about, Lia. I know that’s not your fault and I don’t blame you for what happened.” He assured me. “Okay, why did you come here then? What did you want to talk to me about?” There was a moment of silence after I asked him. Was he finding it hard to say? I let him have all the time he needed and waited for him to speak up. “Lia, I am sorry about what happened yesterday at the club. I messed up and I am really sorry.” I don’t know why the fact that an apology was the first thing he said made me feel happy but it did. I had to stop myself from smiling because to be honest, I wasn’t the one he should be apologising to. Yes, he wronged me but not as much as he did to Eden. He fucked up his face for no reason. “You should be sorry Cross but towards me. It wasn’t me who you beat up last night. You should be sorry to Eden. He’s the one that got beaten.” I told him. He nodded in agreement. “Yes, I know. I wrong him.” “Good to know that
