Ice Queens Need Love Too

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Aurora's POV

We broke apart, the both of us still gasping for air. The moment I could breathe again, I summoned my courage and looked up at him.

"Why did you do that? "

"Because you've been begging for it. "

I frowned at his words. "I don't recall saying anything of the sort to you. "

"Just because you didn't say it with your mouth doesn't mean you didn't say it with your body. You've been begging for me to kiss you. "

I fought the urge to roll my eyes. "Please, get out of your head and stop being delusional. Take a break if you must."

He smirked, still looking down on me with that playful, heat filled gaze. "Really? Because I could have sworn you were checking me out earlier. And I'm sure I can count the number of times your eyes have lowered to my lips. Admit it Aurora, you've been staring at me. All week. "

I flushed pink, heat creeping up my face and neck. What he had said was all true but I didn't think he would catch me doing all tha

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWENTY-THREEAurora’s POV“Closer. Closer…”The thought pulsed through me like a drumbeat, my body betraying me as it leaned toward his. My breath mingled with his, his gaze so sharp and consuming that the world around us blurred, melted away. His lips hovered an inch from mine, and for once, I didn’t feel the walls I always built so carefully around myself. I only felt him.And then... “Knox! We’re heading out!” someone called from the other side of the hedge. The shout jolted me like a thunderclap.I startled, jerking back, my arms instinctively tightening around Knox’s shoulders. Water rippled violently around us, the spell broken.Knox’s jaw flexed, the muscle ticking, and when his eyes shifted toward the voice, I caught the flicker of irritation there. He didn’t say it out loud, but I saw it written across his face: we were so close.I followed his gaze.A figure stood by the far edge of the pool yard, half in shadow, half haloed by the dim outd

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWENTY-TWOAurora's POVBy Friday morning, the whispers had spread like wildfire.At first, I didn’t pay them much mind. This school thrived on gossip (speaking from experience), people could turn a dropped pencil into a scandal if they were bored enough. But when I overheard a group of girls animatedly describing how Knox was throwing the biggest pool party of the year, I froze mid-step.A pool party? Knox?I frowned, my tray of cafeteria food trembling slightly in my hands. That didn’t add up. He’d told me enough about his past for me to know he wanted nothing to do with parties or the likes anymore. If anything, he’d sworn he was done with it. At least for a while. So why was everyone saying otherwise?I found an empty spot by the window and sat down, hoping to block out the chatter. But I didn’t have long before a familiar shadow fell across my table.Knox.“Hey,” he greeted.“Hey,” I replied.He slid into the seat across from me, casually bala

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWENTY ONEKnox's POVThe second I stepped through the gates Friday morning, I knew something was off.People kept looking at me. Not in the new kid, still figuring him out way, but in the sly, conspiratorial way that meant they knew something I didn’t. A cluster of sophomores by the bike racks broke into laughter the moment I passed. One of them actually winked.By the time I hit my locker, the whispers were louder.“…biggest pool party this Friday... "“...Knox said everyone’s invited...”“Dude, he’s throwing it at his place, it’s gonna be insane...”I stopped mid-spin of my combination, a frown tugging at my mouth. Pool party? At my place? When the hell was that even going to happen? Who said that? In first period, a guy I barely knew clapped me on the back. “Epic move, man! Whole school’s buzzing. You better have enough burgers.”“I- what?” I said.He grinned. “Your party, Friday. Someone said you’re bringing your old-school vibe here. City legen

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWENTYAurora's POVClosing time always left the pub steeped in a kind of lazy quiet. Chairs were flipped onto tables, the jukebox finally silenced, and only the soft buzz of the cooler filled the space. I’d grown to like this part of the evening. The calm after the rush, when everything slowed down enough to hear myself think. It was all so peaceful, and j often found myself wishing it'd never end. Tonight, Knox and I had drawn the short straws for cleanup, not that he seemed to mind. He hadslipped into the rhythm of the place so smoothly you’d think he’d been here for years instead of a week. Everyone liked him. Even the regulars who never remembered new faces greeted him like an old friend. I guess that all came as a benefit of his natural charisma. It was one of his fine qualities. I headed into the supply room for another bottle of detergent. The shelf had been reorganized again, and the new stock was stacked annoyingly high. I sighed, eyeing
