Never in her life had she thought that she would have anyone watching over her. It was absolutely weird as she had had to live on her own, getting beat by her father with no form of protection. But now, she had that and she wasn't sure if she really wanted it. She didn't want Loki to be her bodyguard for some reasons she had no idea about. But she knew that there was nothing she could do. She couldn't say no to Athena. The lady didn't look like one who liked to be questioned. Sighing, Heyli climbed down the porch steps and went to meet him. "Hey," She said. Loki turned. "Hey," He wasn't smiling this time. Now, he was looking like the Loki she had seen this morning and it was quite satisfying. "Are you done making up your mind?" Heyli nodded. "Not like I had an option though. So, how is it going to be? Are you going to stand before my door all day?" Loki gave her an incredulous look. "I'm not as jobless as you think. To think that I would stand before you

Two weary vagabonds meet upon a shapely threshold of timid embouchures.They build for one another there a lavish home; of butterfly walls, and windchime ceilings. two-dream garage, foundations a flutter.What began in frost, rushes to flame. From twin-flooded hearts, a tsunami of ambrosia. Fuck. Alex was really letting a woman have control over his actions? That hadn't been possible till now. Athena coming onto him in this manner was what surprised him but he liked it even if he couldn't help but wonder how on earth she was able to pull down his defenses this easily. They were kissing passionately, tongues entwining, fast hands touching and searching sensitive spots, heated breathing and moans of pleasure. Athena's arms were still wrapped around him but she felt it wasn't enough. She wanted to touch him everywhere. She wanted him to touch her everywhere but he seemed not to be doing that. He was still, letting her do everything. Suddenly, she stopped kiss

Athena was glaring at him, now. She wondered what he found funny. Her statement or how she was looking at him? She sat up immediately, throwing her hand over her breasts as she covered them from his view. She noticed that his expression fell a notch and knew that it was because she had covered her breasts. "Why are you laughing, Alex?" She asked. Alex sat at the foot of the bed and stretched out his hand to touch her bare feet. She moved it away immediately but his hand snaked back to her legs and held on tight. "I'm laughing because you just said something funny," He said gently. He was not smiling now. "That was why I said we needed to talk. You're different from other women. I know a few women who wouldn't even care to have that conversation and just go on with it even if it doesn't turn out as they expected. But you? If it doesn't turn out the way you expected, you'd avoid me for the rest of your life or tell me how your first sex was. I want it to be somet

As Heyli walked into the perimeter alongside Loki, she noticed that all eyes were on them, most especially hers and remembering her conversation with the girls from last night, she knew that this would bring a lot of trouble for her. Kayla was seated on the concrete platform with Nina by her side and they were both watching her. She left Loki’s side immediately and went to meet Kayla. "Hey, Kayla," she greeted as she took a seat beside them. "I see you're setting yourself up for some drama," Kayla laughed as she gestured to Loki who stood speaking with Harrison. Heyli sighed and closed her eyes. "How am I going to say this?" "How it's supposed to be said, Kayla," Nina replied. "Uhm, Loki is my guardian," Heyli blurted out. "He's your what?" Three of the girls turned to see Melodie standing behind them. She was wearing a brightly colored ribbon on her hair and it made her look less of a warrior. "Guardian," Heyli said and immediately began t

Athena pushed past him as she walked back into her room. "It's none of your business, Damien. My whereabouts shouldn't concern you," Damien hissed. "But your safety is my concern," "To hell with that, Damien. Can I have breathing space around you?" Athena said and turned to look at him. She was upset right now. Someone scolding her wasn't something she wanted to hear from him. "I'm sorry," He whispered. Though he didn't mean it. Athena ignored his apology. "What do you want?" "There's a meeting this morning. In regards to the Royal Hunting Ceremony next month," "What about it?" "We're to make preparations. It's something that should be talked about. And your presence is highly needed in the drawing room," "What time is it?" "Eleven," Damien said and looked at the wall clock. "It's already ten o'clock." "I'll be there by eleven forty five. I have to get ready and also have breakfast," Athena said as she sat and waited for her maid to come
