He gathered me up swiftly into his arms, carrying me out of the room as if I was his new bride. Louis was still on the other side of the door.
Thale called out to him on the way past. “Miss Bell and I are going to my room. Make sure we aren’t disturbed.”
He didn’t wait for a response, he just continued to stride away with me in his arms. Ordinarily, I would have been embarrassed, but for some reason, I wasn’t. I was inpatient to have this man who was holding onto my body.
As we travelled through the house, I ignored every single negative thought in my head. I didn’t think about being seduced by another man. I didn’t think about the fact he was meant to be marrying someone else. I didn’t think about Danny, or the way he had touched me. It was just me and Thale. Nothing else.
He kicked his bedroom door open with his foot. Kicking it once more to close it once we were inside the room. Carrying me to the bed, he

I became aware of a blissful feeling. The kind that makes everything seem wonderfully hazy and warm. I realised I was being held by someone, and I opened my eyes to see Thale sleeping soundly next to me. He looked so peaceful. This was not something I really associated with him, but right now, that’s how he appeared to be.I stayed still in his arms, enjoying the opportunity to study him freely. I traced each feature with my eyes, marvelling at the contours of his eyes, the angular line of his jaw, and the fullness of the lips that I had suddenly found myself addicted too. He had been beautiful to me before, there was no doubt about it. But now it went beyond that for me, it was as if he was divine. The change in his breathing told me he was rousing, and I eagerly waited for his green eyes to reveal themselves. As he blinked and took a moment to take in my image, a sleepy almost boy-like smile crept onto his face.“Good morning Sophia, wer

I felt Thale stiffen beside me. I could sense he also wasn’t sure why Alvena was looking so pleased.Fallon greeted us as if it was old friends coming together for a holiday, which unsettled me further.“Welcome, welcome! Please, let my staff take your coats. How wonderful it is for you to be here.” He grinned broadly, flashing his perfectly white yet pointy teeth in our direction.Thale said nothing, so I followed suit. A maid came up behind me to take my coat, and I allowed her to guide it off my shoulders.“Come this way, we have much to discuss.” Fallon gestured for us to follow him through the hallway. The house reminded me a lot of Danny’s. It was mostly decorated in blacks and whites, although I could see accents of red every so often. Everything was immaculate. The only personal affects seemed to be strange abstract modern sculptures.Fallon led us to a room that I assumed was meant to act as living room.

Thale’s jaw dropped. “Absolutely not. That goes against everything Hereti believed in. He made the stone to control supernatural power, along with protecting humans!”Fallon’s whole demeanour suddenly changed as he leaned forward sharply, and I shrank backwards. “Don’t lecture me, boy!” Fallon roared. “I know very well what our history is!”His eyes burned. I knew this was serious. I even sensed Thale stilling. Fallon may act demurely most of the time, but he was clearly dangerous.“It is not the same as it was back then,” Fallon hissed. “Humans now have the technology to easily kill us, even when we shift. Their weapons could kill us in minutes.”Alvena piped up again. “Just because you happen to have a human mate Thale, doesn’t mean you suddenly have to protect them. There was a time…”“Shut up Alvena.” Thale’s tone was threate

I shifted nervously on the bench. I wanted to get up and walk away, but I also wanted to hear what Fallon was going to say. I wondered if it tied into what Alvena had tried to reveal before Thale had interrupted her.Fallon didn’t wait for me to respond to his statement, instead asking me another question. “How is your 17th century history, Sophia?”“Not very good,” I said through tight lips.Fallon’s tutting infuriated me further. “Well, you may want to read up on it, seeing as that was when Thale was born.”Realisation dawned on me. Of course.“Anyway, to give you a brief overview, around the time Thale was in his early twenties, civil war raged in Britain.”I dug through my brain trying to dredge up any history I’d been taught at school and from somewhere I remembered. The battles between the Cavillers and the Roundheads jostling for control of the country. The l

As I opened the French Doors, Thale stood up sharply. “Sophia! You must be freezing, put this on.”He began to take off his suit jack while moving towards me, but I placed my hand out in front of me as a barrier. “Fallon told me about Sola Fide.”I kept my eyes fixed on his expression, watching it fall and darken as my words sank in.A silence descended in the room, so much so I could hear bird song from outside and the light sound of wind rustling the leaves of the trees. As he continued to hold my gaze, I knew that what Fallon had told me was the truth.Finally, he opened his mouth. The words came out cracked. “How much did he tell you?”I took a deep breath moving over to place my hand on the back of a chair to pull it out. The soft touch of velvet meeting my finger tips before I took a seat. “He told me the group murdered humans. They used wars to cover it. He said…” The words

He teased me mercilessly, the head of his cock resting lightly against my most intimate place. I stayed silent, doing everything I could not to move my hips towards him, to take him in like I so badly wanted to do.It was then he began slowly tracing his tip over my clit and down the wet folds, moving with agonising slowness. My lips parted in unbridled pleasure, and he took the opportunity to place his mouth over mine, using his tongue to invade my mouth the same way I wanted his cock in my pussy. It was at this point that I gave up, I kissed him back violently, my breasts swelling as I pushed back against his body, making my legs as wide as possible in the hopes he would enter me.He pulled away. The strain evident on his face. “Say it. Tell me you want me,” he growled once more.“I want you!” I cried, too consumed by him to resist him any longer.It took less than a second for him to push himself inside me, I gaspe

We didn’t have to wait long before we had insight into what Fallon was up to. On the drive back to Ashdown, Thale got a call.“What? You’re fucking kidding me, aren’t you?”I searched his face for a hint of what was happening, the voice on the end just muffled static.“Prepare the transport immediately. We’re on our way.”Thale disconnected the call and leaned over towards Louis. “Change of plan, Louis. Drive us to the port.”“Yes, boss.”Thale turned to me. “Sophia, that was my head guard at the hoard.”It took me a moment to remember what he meant. We hadn’t talked about it in ages.“Your hoard?”Thale nodded, a deep frown upon his face. “Yes. Some alarms have been triggered, and he believes it’s under attack.”“You think Fallon is responsible?”“Yes. I doubt it’s

The water attacked my skin like a thousand blades. I gasped, as shock tore through my body. I choked on the bitter water that entered my mouth, quickly spitting it out. I had to take control. I became aware of shouting behind me, knowing that Jones and Louis would be demanding my return to the boat. I shrugged off the jacket, and left it floating on the surface of the water as and I cut through the ocean with determined strokes. Thank god I knew how to swim. I managed to get a little distance between the boat and me before I heard the expected splash of someone entering the water. Louis would be coming after me. I pushed on. Louis’s weight and muscle-clad frame would slow him down in the water, whereas my slim body would give me an advantage. I kicked violently, dipping my head in and out of the sea to come up for breath. I knew there was every chance I could be taken away from the island by the current, but I had to try. I had to keep going. Occasionally I h
