~Livia's Point of View~ Orion and I had an insanely long shower, and I had another two orgasms. Needless to say he had to carry me to bed, and I’d never been more happily exhausted. But then, the morning comes. Reality. I awake with a jolt and its still dark. My mind is programmed to another time zone. I stare at Orion and I have a million thoughts at once. He could give me a good life. I could keep my job and he has his things that he likes to do and stay busy with … I didn’t even know outside of surfing what those things are but I'm sure he has them. However, in addition to me having Tyson, he would have other lovers. What if I saw him with another woman? What if he got another woman pregnant? Surely Tyson would want us to have children too. Goddess, what a mess! I stare at the ceiling as a breeze floats in through the door. Damn it, what did I do? I get out of bed very carefully and gather my things absentmindedly. I think about leaving him a note but decide against it. I h
~Tyson’s Point of View~I had stalked around Livia’s bedroom last night, but she didn’t come home and it devastated me. I went back to my room, pouting and hoping like hell she’d crawl in bed with me in the middle of the night. That she’d realize she slept better with me even if she didn’t know why.“Man I’m beat, it was a long day of finishing everything for Saturday,” Diego says, coming out of the shower.“Yeah, setting up the very ring where I may have to fight for my life, pretty fucked up,” I state, falling on my bed. “Oh shit dude, I didn’t even think of it like that, oh man,” Diego replies, sitting on his bed. I shake my head and throw my hands back against the bed.“I’m so lost bro. I feel like I should just tell her, it could end all this. Maybe she could teleport us somewhere else or something, we could run away, I have a little money. It could last us until I get a job,” I say, not even believing myself. I could never break my oath and leave the Shadows. They saved me, too
~Livia’s Point of View~“Darling it’s simply breathtaking,” mother says, eyeing my gown. My gaze falls over it, my hand over the fabric. I really, truly do wish I could appreciate it properly.“Of course it is. It’s a high end designer and probably costs enough to buy a normal person a very nice car, so of course it’s nice, but it’s not me. Not a bit,” I snap, annoyed.Now that I knew about Leonard, this dress has him written ALL over it. It literally hugs me everywhere and shoves my tits into my chin. A lot harder to appreciate when you feel like a stuffed sausage to be gawked at by one of your father's employees. “Well there’s no time to change it, unless you want to get married in a curtain,” mother laughs.That would be fine by me!“Like it freaking matters,” I mutter.“Hey come on, tell us how your dates have been,” Carrisa says, trying to lighten the mood. There's no fixing my face or my soul at this point.“I’d seriously rather not,” I snap, suddenly feeling very hot and itchy.
~Tyson’s Point of View~I desperately wanted to spend the evening with Livia but I was meeting Diana again and I couldn’t very well let anyone know. Diana coming to help me gave me every bit of confidence I needed.It was on now, I was going to win and there was no doubt in my mind.I would also need to figure out how to thank warlock Ben at some point. He’d always been nice to me but I had no clue why he’d go out of his way to help me. At this point, I didn’t care. I trusted him, and that was a hell of a lot more than I could say for anyone in Quinn’s house.Ever since the moment Livia left, Diego was grinning like an idiot. He finally shut the door and turned to me.“So dude, what’s up? You got your date figured out,” he asks, his face full of hope.“Couple more things I need to get ready but yeah,” I say, smirking.“I’m so excited for you I can’t stand it,” he claps, sitting on his bed.“Well I’m not telling you any details. Except that I did ask her what she might want to do, and s
~Livia’s Point of View~I absolutely hated to leave Tyson, and I was left to wonder what he would be doing with his evening. Maybe he had some things left to figure out for tomorrow. I had told him I was going back to find my mother but I had no desire to do that. In reality, she was probably already drunk and sleeping it off. I found myself in the kitchen with a huge bag of chips, a tall chocolate milk and a cookie jar.“Long day,” I hear, as none other than Jasper walks in.“They all are anymore,” I admit, sighing. “Anything I can do to help,” he asks, taking a cookie and sitting next to me. I point at his hand with jest.“I’m shocked you eat junk food,” I tease, smiling. While I was absolutely not going to pick Jasper as my suitor, I still felt I could be polite to him. I wasn’t totally sure if he was angry at how I’d left him on his date night. I didn’t need an angry demon looking for revenge, I probably already had that with Leonard.“A little in moderation is of course fine,”
~Tyson’s Point of View~After an hour of conversation, Ben said that something came up and he left me with a couple of his wives who were giving me pointers about making love. Talk about fucking awkward!!He said that fairies are incredibly sexual beings and to not be upset with her if she’s had a lot of partners, especially given her age. Shit, I didn’t even know how old Livia was … physically she didn’t look a lot older than me. Hell, Sunny mated to like the oldest possible creature in the world and she didn't care so I can't either.I wondered if Sunny had to think about all of Godrey's past or if she cared. I was sure it was insane. I really had no clue what Livia's experience was, or if she had done anything with the other suitors this week. I'd heard Susie go on about how hot and irrisistable Orion was and I did have to imagine he was exactly what most women would kill to have.I decided I didn’t care. I wouldn’t hold anything against her that happened before he officially chose
~Livia’s Point of View~I was sitting in my old hangout, with Tyson … my mate. I felt like I was dreaming. How could he have known? I used to sit in this cafe for hours upon hours. I had so few friends in school … wait a minute.“Did you … did you talk to my old roommate? Is that how you knew,” I ask, eyeing him. “I don’t reveal my secrets, but … Marcia says hi,” he says, grinning. My eyes grow wide and I smack his arm. Boy, he really did his homework, and this was only breakfast. It's honestly so thoughtful, it takes all my efforts not to get teary. But I push it back and focus.“Ohh my god they still make these danishes just like I remember, ohh,” I moan, licking my fingers. The coffee tastes exactly the same too, and without realizing it, I was swaying in my seat. “Did you want to dance,” Tyson laughs, eyeing me curiously.I giggle.“No! I’m a horrible dancer. But come on, if you have food this good, it just moves you, you can’t help it,” I say, continuing my movement. He eyes
~Tyson’s Point of View~Livia. Hmm, Livia.She was here, in my arms, and she wanted me. She realized it all and even though she seemed to almost be having an emotional breakdown over the whole thing, she was okay. I didn’t need to ask her how she knew we were mates, Ben told me about Orion being a telepath. He told me Orion's stupid plans. I didn’t ask how he knew, it didn’t matter.I wasn’t going to press the issue, the third part of our date would ensure she would have known, and I was still going through with it even though I didn’t need to.We had been kissing and groping each other pretty intensely under the tree and she kept giggling, making me insanely hard. I’d pulled one of the strings on her shoulder, dropping her dress and sucked on her breast and nipple so hard and rough I was sure there would be hickeys.If it wasn’t 9am and broad daylight, I would certainly be tempted to take her here and now. My love coach would very much approve.“Hey! You kids get to class, what’s wron
