"She's standing, can't you see that??"

And then Mina's eyes went wide, staring at Amara. "Oh fuck," she breathed.

For a second, it was like she had forgotten all about the phone she was still clutching. But then her face shifted, like she had remembered she was supposed to be panicking about something else.

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    424 I'll Be Right Back

    Sera"She's standing, can't you see that??"And then Mina's eyes went wide, staring at Amara. "Oh fuck," she breathed.For a second, it was like she had forgotten all about the phone she was still clutching. But then her face shifted, like she had remembered she was supposed to be panicking about something else. She hissed, turned away from me again, slapping the device in the air and shaking it like a terrier killing a rat.As I watched Mina slap the phone against her palm, water droplets flying, I felt my teeth clench. "It has to work," she muttered under her breath, like saying it enough times would make it true. 'This is what happens when you ignore the real emergency,' I almost said, and bit the words back before they could slip out.I watched her fumble with it, all thumbs, like it was some foreign creature she didn't trust. It never would have looked that awkward in my own hands. Phones like this had been ordinary things where I grew up, in the South, something you carried wi

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    423 She's Standing Can't You See?

    Sera"I'm coming in."I pushed the door open, already talking mid-sentence: "Mina, I swear you wouldn't believe what just happened..."The living space was empty...But I heard splashing water from the bath area. I looked towards it. Still holding Amara, we walked towards it."Hey Mina, I—""Ah, what the fuck!" Mina yelped, startled; something she had tucked near her ear fell into the churning water. She froze, eyes wide with panic, staring at me like she'd just seen a ghost.The words died in my throat as I caught sight of Mina in the stone bath tub.I stood there, staring, trying to reconcile what I was seeing. Mina looked away, her hands plunging into the tub's depths, fingers splayed open. She searched frantically, still cursing under her breath, at me, at herself.Her eyes went wide. She'd found it. She pulled out a small black object, dripping wet. Her expression was filled with worry as she held it gingerly in front of her face. "No no no... please no..."Still begging, she sto

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    422 Empty Living Space

    SeraI guided Amara out of my chambers and through the halls toward Mina's, her legs still unsteady under her, my hands ready to catch her if needed. "Good job, keep going," I murmured, her neck flushing pink at the praise. She squeezed my hand in response, her eyes never leaving mine.We passed guards and a few others in the halls. They greeted me with real respect, dipping their heads in deference. Their eyes went to Amara, curious, trying not to make it obvious, but I could tell anyway: I noticed the slight double takes, the furtive glances, the suppressed questions about why I was walking the castle with a young woman in my own shift. I didn't much care what they thought.I was more focused on Amara than on any of them, playing with her, encouraging her steps, delighted by her still."Hey, look at this floor," I said, tugging her hand and leading her in a little jig."Watch how shiny it is. What do you think they use to polish it?" Her free hand reached out, almost bending down to

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    421 Come To Me

    Sera"Fuck, you're standing!"She stared back at me, a hint of confusion in her unfathomable eyes. I took a slow step closer, not wanting to startle her. Amara stood there, watching me, waiting.Water dripped from my skin onto the stone floor. I could feel the heat of the cavern seeping into my bare soles, warming my feet. Amara's gaze followed a droplet of water as it rolled down my shoulder blade to my breast. I stopped. She looked up at my face again, her head tilted slightly, but she didn't move.I shook my head in disbelief, then broke into a genuine smile. "You need to come here," I told her, my voice soft and warm. "I want you to walk to me. Can you do that?"Her brow furrowed in confusion. I could see the gears turning behind her eyes as she tried to understand. Her attention flickered between my outstretched palm and my face. When she still didn't move, I stretched my arms out to her in invitation.Amara looked at my hands for a long moment before finally taking a tentative s

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    420 Fuck You're Standing

    SeraMy eyes snapped open to find a pair of eyes staring back at me, mere inches away, too close, too intimate. For a moment, my mind didn't register whose gaze met mine. But then my heartbeat slowed, the shock receding, and I blinked, bringing the face into focus. Amara."Fuck, what?"The curse died on my lips as my heartbeat returned to something resembling normal. "Amara, you trying to give me a heart attack?" I groaned, scrubbing a hand over my eyes.Sweet hell, she'd slept right next to me. Not in the little bedroll I'd set out beside my own, but right in the fucking mattress. I'd heard nothing all night, no stirrings, no swaying of the bed. I'd been so sure she'd stay in her own space."Morning, you little scamp," I murmured, reaching out to brush a few errant strands of hair from her face. Amara tilted her head, her eyes unfaltering. "Still not talking, I take it?" I sighed when she didn't respond, not that I'd expected her to. She just kept staring.I glanced down at her, tryi

  • My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian    419 Not Like Her

    Lyra"It's been a while since we've had a crowd," I said. "Nice to have some company."Nadia smiled at me like it was an inside joke between us, and for a second, I felt a rush of affection for her. Then doubt crept in, a worm burrowing under my skin. She leaned back in her chair, one arm draped over the back of it. Her other hand played absently with a curl of her hair. It reminded me of how she looked when we were alone together, relaxed and easy. But this morning, in this room full of people, she seemed different. Her smile wasn't quite as warm, her laughter a half-beat off. It was a subtle thing, but I knew her well enough to notice.I started to turn my attention back to the person speaking across from me, Gero or Rennick, I never could tell them apart, when my father spoke up."Lyra," he said, and I snapped my gaze to his. "Why don't you give Odile a tour of the castle later? Nadia looks a little down this morning and could use cheering up." I frowned slightly, unsure what to mak

    SeraNight fell fast, and with it, the temperature plummeted. We had three fires going, but the heat didn't seem to travel more than six inches past the flames. I sat on a log by the middle fire, pulling the wagon fur around my shoulders, shivering so hard my teeth were literally clicking together.

    LyraShe ignored me. She dropped to her knees, her hands sliding down to the waistband of my trousers. She shoved her fingers inside the fabric, gripping my hips tight. With one sharp pull, she dragged the pants and my underwear down to my ankles. I stepped out of them, kicking my boots off in the

    Lyra"Tell the girl to step into the room," he said."Leave her out of this," I said. My voice came out as a pathetic, raspy whisper. I cleared my throat, trying to find some spine. "She didn't do anything. It was my idea to come in here.""Tell her to step into the room," he said, his eyes going d

    LyraThe voice didn't belong to Nadia. It didn't belong to me. It came from the metallic object resting directly behind my hip.Nadia froze. She pulled her mouth away from me and yanked her fingers out of my body. She stood up quickly, wiping her wet mouth with the back of her hand, her chest heavi
