Avery shakes her head at him, pointing to her phone, and he slowly looks away."Some of the pack members hanged up on me today at the pack meetings," she mumbles into the phone, and Avery furrows her brows."Over what?" Avery asks softly."Me going to your pack with the prisoner," she sighs sadly."What did they say, Lil?" Avery quickly asks, hearing the girl's tone waver."They said I'm not a proper Luna, so I shouldn't be going to any packs," she mumbles, and Avery grimaces."I suggested to Zeph he say you were coming for training. Don't you dare let them make you think you aren't a real Luna," she warns angrily.Lilith sniffles, and Avery pinches her nose."I'm guessing most of those people are women," she grumbles, and Lilith makes a noise of confirmation."Ignore them, I bet they're just jealous," Avery reassures her, her heart aching for her friend."I don't believe you at all," Lilith laughs shakily, and Avery can hear her sniffling."That's okay. But if you don't come with the
Avery startles herself awake and feels slightly trapped for some reason.Slowly, she starts being able to comprehend the world around her, and through her bleary eyes, she can see a massive tree trunk of an arm trapping her to the bed.She blinks in surprise and looks at the body the arm is attached to, squinting to see the face the body is attached to.She can't see the face; it's buried in her stomach.She recognises the curly hair, though, and sits up in irritation, flicking the face as she looks at her phone for the time.It's 10 am, and Avery raises her eyebrows - she slept for eleven hours.She usually maybe gets six on a good night; she just isn't a deep sleeper."Wake up, you prick," she grunts, wiggling her legs to try to get him off of her.Roman wakes up slowly, and once he makes eye contact with her, he shakes his head and puts it back down onto her stomach, closing his eyes again."Roman, get up," she groans, and he mumbles something under his breath.At least he's warm,
"Sorry, I didn't think," she shrugs, continuing to kiss along the base of his neck.He brings his hand up to her breast, and she slaps it away, shaking her head."You don't get to touch," she smirks.He stares at her in confusion, and then his eyes flash black and then gold.Avery rolls her eyes, knowing exactly what's going to happen."Don't you dare," she warns immediately and as she says the words, he plunges into her."What the fuck," she hisses, digging her nails into his shoulders as she glares at him."You can't fuck me on a bed like a normal person, no?" She asks sarcastically, and he gives her a grin."That would be boring," he shrugs, thrusting in and out of her.He adjusts his hold on her, and she suddenly shakes her head."Out, you're not wearing a condom," she announces, and he stares at her."I wasn't yesterday, either," he reminds her, and she glares at him."That was poor planning, I can fix that mistake," she mutters, and he clenches his jaw in frustration."Can I mov
He rolls his eyes at her dramatics and continues typing, glancing at her in mild concern every so often."I need to go visit York, and finish emails, and check in with Kali and Kathleen," she mutters to herself, dreading the thoughts of having to move even an inch."Then do it, lazy ass," Roman sighs, shaking his head at her."Fine, I will," she snaps, dragging herself off the floor reluctantly.Her legs vibrate as she moves, and she grimaces as her legs nearly give up."I do not like you for this," she grunts, staggering to her dressing table and leaning against it to regain her balance.He smirks in her direction, feeling pretty proud of himself.I'll fix this, Sonya snarls, putting all of her energy into strengthening Avery's posture.Almost instantly, Avery stands up straight, and Avery cocks her head to the side in mock confusion."Oh, you thought I meant for the screwing? Oh gosh, no, I meant for the situation you created by lying to me," she sighs dramatically, flashing the mid
Moderately satisfied with her outfit, she puts her earrings in and puts her glasses on.Today will be a long day; she can just tell."I have errands to run," Avery states, packing up her laptop while she occasionally glances at Roman."Cool, go do them," he responds, looking at her over the laptop screen with a raised eyebrow."I want you gone by the time I come back," she grimaces, and he pauses his incessant typing."Oh, you're kicking me out," he mutters, and she stops packing."Did you think I'd let you stay forever?" She asks, "you're not a puppy."He closes the laptop slowly, and nods at her."I'll leave now then, I suppose," he murmurs, pulling off her sweatshirt and leaving it on the bed."You don't have to leave this second, I'm just telling you that you should be out of here in the next six hours," she drawls, zipping up her bag."No, you don't want me here, and even a blind man could see that," he states calmly, standing up and stretching."Let your border patrol know that
She gets a little heart attack at the volume, and she turns it down quickly, bopping her head to the music as she scurries around the kitchen, making herself a smoothie."What will I use today?" She hums to herself, before Sonya suggests a mango smoothie.Avery goes with it, pulling her ingredients out of the fridge and freezer, and then throwing them all into a blender.She raises the music's volume while the blender is on, and she screams the words of the song as she dances around her kitchen.The best part of being an adult - if you can ignore the loneliness, which she absolutely can.Once her smoothie is done, she pours it into a travel mug and leaves the blender on the counter-top, quickly linking her maid that there's some slight mess.Once the lady responds, Avery leaves, locking her doors and setting her alarm system behind her.Walking down the steps of her house, she looks around intently, squinting in every direction.She won't lie; she would appreciate a companion in case
The piles of files are taller than Kali, and the three women look at each other."We only have two left," Avery mutters, wiggling on the floor to try to get herself comfortable."Two too many," Kali whimpers, and Kathleen rubs her eyes."If I ever have to read again, it'll be too soon," she groans dramatically, flinging herself backwards onto the ground in protest."Honestly Kali, you're going to be the most over-qualified Luna out there," Avery laughs, shaking her head."I should win an award for filing and organising," Kali chuckles, rolling her eyes, "I was on the phone with Scott last night, and he thought it was hilarious that we were still sorting through these files."Avery laughs again, grinning ear to ear."He would think it was hilarious, is his office still a bombsite?" Avery snorts, and Kali cringes."He can't find anything he needs, and he expects everyone else to know where it is," she groans good-humouredly."You poor, poor people," Avery grins, and Kathleen lets out a
"If you need me, call me, please," Kathleen whispers, kissing Avery's forehead before walking after Kali.Avery closes her eyes once the door shuts, and gets to work typing up her emails.Her alarm goes off after twenty minutes, and she stretches quickly, before she hurries to her car, laptop in hand.She takes a minute to decide on her location and settles on going to her own house, knowing she has a few suitable dresses.She spends the drive in silence, fully absorbed in her thoughts.Sonya forces the negative ones away and instead focuses on her plans.She's ecstatic at the prospect of seeing Lilith again, and she's glad to know she can offer the girl a safe haven.Once she arrives home, he goes straight up the stairs and slips into a hot pink wrap dress.She slips on some heels and quickly applies some makeup, not going too over the top for once.Avery is rudely disturbed by her phone ringing, and she hesitates before she answers."Avery, hurry up, the Addisons' arrived sooner tha
