41 - DEVLIN

***

The weight of the water is crushing my chest. The ability to breathe so close as the open air drifts over my fingertips.

Me, myself, and I want to see this night again. They want to relive it… I don’t.

My hair covers my face, wet and impossibly heavy as I struggle to see through it, but that’s ok… if I can’t see him, he can’t see me coming.

I’m stumbling forwards but my feet keep getting stuck in the mud, until it wins, and I fall onto my hands and knees. He grips my shoulders, stopping me from continuing to move forwards, except the moment he goes to brush the hair from my face I take action.

Grabbing onto his wrist, I pull. I pull and yank with all my might on his wrist until the wind turns in my favor and he’s stumbling into me as we fall into the depths of the water.

His hazel hues are staring into mine, begging me to let go, angry that I won’t.

I close my eyes, letting myself sink farther into the darkness until my chest gives up and takes in a lungful of water.

Girl, your work is fabulous. Keep in mind we’re reading one chapter every few days, which makes it feel slower. It’ll probably flow beautifully when it’s all finished!

I hear what you're saying. Thank you for the feedback, it does help me improve my writing in the future. Pacing is something I will try to improve for the second book of the series! I hope you enjoy the rest of this one as it unfolds :)

Not to mention, this is supposed to be a RH, and we don’t yet know who her other mates will be. I’m really dying for more Oz interaction with her. Hoping we get away from Trent soon, even if that storyline takes longer to resolve. She needs a change of scenery and a new start.
