BLAIR’S POVHis thrusts quickened, growing deeper with each movement. He was hitting every spot inside me, over and over, until I was gasping, my body rocking against the wall.His hand slid from my neck to my breast, gripping me roughly, possessively, while his other arm held my leg up, steady as he pounded into me.“Kade,” I moaned, my voice trembling with need.His eyes flew open, dark and wild with lust. “Say my name again,” he growled, driving into me harder. “Say it, baby. Say my name.”“Kade,” I cried out again, breathless.That did something to him. He slammed into me faster, harder, lost in the sound of his name on my lips. His hands slipped away from my legs and I wrapped my legs around his waist, holding onto him for balance, but he wasn’t slowing down. He was gone, completely consumed by the moment.His moans were louder than mine now, ragged and deep. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, his hand finding mine and pinning it against the wall, fingers interlocking ti
BLAIR’S POVBack in my room, I let out a long sigh and tossed my purse on the bed. My whole body ached from tension, and everything that Will had told us before we left school was making me worried. I took off my clothes slowly until I stood in nothing but my panties.I was halfway to grabbing a towel when the door creaked open and Kade stepped in.His gaze found me instantly, and he didn’t look away. His eyes trailed over my skin in a way that made my face flush with heat.“Really?” I crossed my arms over my chest. “You’re still looking at me like that? We literally have a huge problem hanging over our heads.”He didn’t say anything at first. He drew closer to me. Then, without warning, he slipped his arm under my thighs and another behind my back, lifting me clean off the floor.I yelped and instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck. “Kade!” I laughed, even though my heart fluttered in my chest.“Drew isn’t a problem,” he said firmly, his lips brushing against mine. “I’ve misse
BLAIR’S POVKade said that I could take all the time I needed to think about Drew but it still felt urgent to me. The options kept circling in my head. I could either get rid of Drew or let him go. As simple as they sounded, neither option was really simple at all. Killing Drew would be easy. Very easy, if I’m being honest because he was locked away and in our custody. After everything he did, everything he planned to do to me, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. But this wasn’t just about me. Drew wasn’t some random sick bastard from the streets. He was a Prince. The Prince of the southern region. And Kade… well, he was a Prince from the north. If anything happened to Drew and they traced it back to Kade or me, it would be war. A real, bloody war. I had seen enough to know how quickly things could spiral. Still, the thought of letting him go made my stomach turn. After everything, the idea of him walking around, breathing, living like he hadn’t almost destroyed me... it made my skin
BLAIR’S POVExams were right around the corner, which meant I didn’t have the luxury of falling apart. Not when everything I’d worked for all semester was on the line. Not that I was as serious as in previous semesters, but I needed to be focused. A lot had happened, too much, and this wasn’t the time to cry about them. I had to push it all aside… what happened with Drew and the damage it left behind.I sat in class, eyes fixed on the front where my professor was explaining something about neurological pathways, but my mind wasn’t fully cooperating. I forced myself to take notes, underlining a few key points, nodding occasionally like I was absorbing every word.It worked, for the most part. I was getting a hang of it. I knew this material.Will and I had gone over it a couple of times.“Blair,” Jett whispered from the seat beside me, leaning slightly over. “You good?”He took this class with me and I had noticed he always sat next to me. Jett was the kind of person who would offer y
KADE’S POVI cut the engine of my car and stepped out. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and then I opened the door to the back seat. I grabbed the bag from the passenger seat and shut the door behind me, looking around once more. If Blair had nosy neighbors, they’ll probably wonder why I’ve been coming around often. I let myself in, locked the door behind me, and headed straight for the kitchen. Dropping the bag on the counter, I pulled out a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a butter knife. That was all they were getting. If they were lucky. Honestly, I’d rather have Drew and his friend starve but then I didn’t want them to die yet. So this was just for sustenance. I took my time and made two sandwiches. They were half-assed but edible. I tossed them into the same bag and made my way to the basement door. The wooden stairs creaked under my boots as I went down, the air turning damp and sour with every step.The smell hit first and it was a mix of sweat, b
BLAIR’S POV“Here, stay still,” I said, trying to focus on cleaning the gash across Kade’s back.He groaned low, his fingers gripping the hem of my dress like he was bracing for war or something. I bit my bottom lip, wincing at how raw the wound looked. How had he even managed to sleep with something like this?“You really should’ve let me do this last night,” I murmured, dabbing the disinfectant gently across the red slash. “If I had known you got this injured, I would have taken care of it sooner.”“I didn’t want to ruin breakfast plans,” he muttered in a strained voice. “You must feel like throwing up right now.” “Anytime’s okay,” I said, trying to keep my hand steady. “But seriously, Kade… this needs stitches.”He didn’t reply. His muscles tensed under my touch and he jerked everytime my hand touched his. I reached into the first aid box beside me and pulled out a small syringe.The second he caught sight of the needle, he jerked upright like I’d pointed a knife at him. “I’m fine
