He shakes his head. "No, baby, it doesn't sound ridiculous. It's super rational with what happened to you, but I can promise you that what we did to some of the rogues before they could run like the rest definitely sent a message of what we're capable of, so we should be okay for a while with no worry." I nod my head before getting up to kneel on the bench between his legs. "l love you."He sets his forehead against mine. "l love you so much and I'm so happy that you're mine."letting our lips find one another's before wrapping my arms around his shoulders as he scoots forward to be closer to my body. He cups the back of my neck as his tongue slowly licks at my bottom lip before he bites down on it, making me chuckle as a response before we continue kissing. I pull away as I hear leaves crunch behind me and I turn around to see nothing but the trees swaying as a breeze sweeps through the woods. "What's wrong?""Did you hear that?" I whisper as l continue to look around for some source
I stood staring at the tombstone for a few minutes, resisting the urge to cry as I stared at her name. This was the first time since the funeral that I've seen grandma because l just couldn't build up the courage to come until right now. I wasn't even sure I was going to get out of the car until my legs just started moving on their own. I placed the flowers on her grave with shaky hands, hoping that I would just wake up from this terrible nightmare.I turned around to look at the car and I noticed that Archie was staring down at his phone, probably wanting to give me some privacy at the moment. I kneeled down next to the tombstone, placing my hand on the cold marble, feeling closer to her that way. "I don't know what to say or how to even say it now that you're gone."I wiped my eyes with my sleeve, wishing that she could just be here right now. Her smile was always so contagious and she always knew the right thing to say. Seeing her meet Archie was one of the best times in my life be
He stands up, pulling away from my hand and when I see him digging in his back pocket, it hits me of what's going on. My hands go up to cover my mouth when he falls onto one knee, giving me the biggest smile he can at the moment. I watch as he opens the small, black box to reveal a silverring with a smaller ring on the outside that's lined with diamonds. I look back up at Archie, whose eyes are now permanently electric blue."Henry Brooke, will you do me the honour of becoming my husband?" I hide my face in my hands as a small sob leaves my lips and I know that if l even try to open my mouth an embarrassing sound will come out and ruin the moment. I look back up at him and nod my head, enthusiastically. He immediately pulls me into a tight hug as I continue to cry because this is so not what I expected the secret to be. I'm surprised and I'm excited because this is so not what I expected the secret to be. I'm surprised and I'm excited because even though I'm only 18, the spirits hav
The bed creaked when he pounded into me, stopping for a second to let out an indecipherable noise that sent a chill up my spine. I balanced on one hand as the other travelled between my legs to touch myself. My eyes squeezed shut when he removed his nails from my hips and placed it on my ass as he slowed his pace and carefully pulledout before sliding back in. I bit my lip to suppress a groan from coming out as he teased me with how slow he was going. He kept going like that and when I looked back at him, his face was flushed red and he looked kinda embarrassed."What?" I let out in a breathy tone. "l hurt you," he said, holding up his hand to show his nails with traces of blood on them. I reached out to grab his hand to help pull me up so I was sitting in his lap, his cock burying deep inside of me. I placed my hand on his thigh while he landed on my stomach to stop me from moving."It's okay, it feels so good" I whisper weakly to him. His hand slid down to cover mine before he star
"l always assumed that you and Robert would get engaged before Archie and I. I mean, you two have been together forever, it just makes sense. Do you think he'll propose soon?" She lets out a sigh. "I don't know. I'm hoping that seeing his best friend get engaged will resonate with him, but I don't know if it will. We've talked about it before and he seems open to the idea, but I think our age has a lot to do with why he hasn't popped thequestion. He just thinks we're so young.""But come on, you two already know you'll be together forever since you're mates, so you're going to get engaged eventually, why not just do it now? I mean, it's his choice, but if you know that you'll be with someone forever, don't you want to just promise that to each other as soon as possible?"Jenny nods her head. "Yeah, that's my thinking too, but he just doesn't think that's a good idea. He still wants to wait, most likely, which is alright, I guess. It just means I'll have to be open to the idea of wai
I let out a yell before my head goes under. I feel Archie's hands slide up my legs as he rushes to the surface to get a breath of air. I come back up too before slapping his arm as he lets out a laugh before looking at me. What was that for?"He wraps his arm around my waist, kissing my cheek. "Just thought it would be funny, which it was." We all relax in the water, swimming around while we wait for the rest of our friends to show up. I notice the people in the water are looking at us while whispering something that I couldn't quite hear.I was taken out of my trance when Archie went back underwater before swimming underneath me to scoop me onto his shoulders. When he stands up, I yelp, grabbing a hold of his hands that are on my thighs to balance myself."Archie, no!" I scream as he moves around to make sure I don't fall over. His hands slide down to hold onto my ankles while mine tangles in his hair, lightly pulling on the wet strands. I notice that Jenny's on her boyfriend's back w
I know he's just trying to keep everyone calm, but I can tell that he's also trying to get the best out of the time we have in case something bad happens during the rogue raid. I look around to see everyone nodding, agreeing with what he was saying. Lila stands up, pulling her shirt down. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let's leave in two hours, so everyone go get ready, maybe talk through some things if you need, and then we'll get going."We all get up to go to our own rooms and I just hope that Robert and Jenny work through their problems because I can tell how much stress all of this is putting on their relationship. When Archie and l's bedroom door closes, he turns to me, grabbing the collar of my shirt to pull me into a passionate kiss. I take a step backwards as he pushes me against the wall and I can feel the need in his actions as he grabs my waist. I place my hands on his chest, lightly pushing him away.As soon as I look at his face, I see the tears falling down his fac
I look at my parents who were sitting with Lila and Austin to help them get their shoes on and I'm immediately hit with a wave of gratitude that they are good friends now. I don't know what I would've done if my parents didn't like them because these memories we're all creating together really were the best for me. Jasmine comes to stand next to me, taking me out of my trance to pull me towards the ice."You ready?" I ask Joey, who looks pretty nervous to take his first step."Yeah, he says and I make sure Robert's okay with Jenny since he hasn't ever been skating before either and would need to learn a few things before he got too confident. I grab hold of the side before taking a step, gliding with ease against the ice. Archie's next and when his foot hits the ground, his knee buckles and he almost trips, caught by my sister and I. We laugh, helping him to stand on the ice so he can get used to the feeling.I intertwine my fingers with him in a tight grip as Jasmine does the same s
