60: Go Unanswered
Jarren
I sat up as Jillie made a beeline for the bathroom. This was the third time she’d awaken feeling nauseous. I sighed and leaned back against the headboard. Usually, I’d go check on her, but after her second time and her nearly kicking me out of the bathroom, I figured it would be better to leave her alone this time.
I heard the water in the sink turn on, and after a few minutes, she emerged from the bathroom. Climbing back into the bed, she leaned against the headboard. Reaching over, I placed my hand on her stomach and rubbed slow circles.“I don’t think I’ll be going back to sleep anytime soon,” she stated, exhaling. “This little one is seriously kicking my butt today.”“Maybe it’s something you ate at the party last night.”She shrugged. “Maybe. Whatever it is, I just wish it would work its way out of my sRelated chapters

Jillie“So, how was the party?” Kaileeh asked.I readjusted the phone to my ear as I continued to season the chicken. “It was good. I was able to surprise him, so I’m proud of myself for that.”“Well, lucky you. His birthday makes me sad, though.”“Why?” I questioned, sliding the chicken into the oven.“Hello, September eleventh. That’s enough to make me cry just saying it.”I rolled my eyes as I put on a pot of water to boil. She was overdramatic more often than not. “So, how is school?” I questioned, changing the subject.“Paradise

Jarren I paced back and forth as I waited on Xander. He’d gone earlier today to meet with whoever it was that was going to help us. He’d called and said that he checked out, and I was now waiting for both of them to get here. Jillie had gone to lunch with Elise, so I figured it would be the perfect time to discuss this issue. My patience was wearing thin as my pacing increased. I’m sure if I kept up like this, I would etch a pattern into the floor. Jillie had already been gone for over an hour, and I wasn’t sure when she was coming back. What I did know for sure was that I didn’t want her here when Xander and this guy were here. I didn’t know him yet, and just because Xander said he was legitimate didn’t mean that he didn’t have his motives for doing this or that he would even be able to help at all. I didn’t want he
Protected 63: A State of Depression
Jillie Imagine my shock when I saw Christen sitting with my vampire husband and his vampire cousin when I walked into his man cave a few days ago. To say I was puzzled would be a grave understatement. When Xander and Christen explained everything against Jarren’s wishes, I understood more but was still shocked. I was also relieved. We now knew there was a way of getting what we needed and knew exactly where it was. There was a chance for us to save our baby, but it all sounded so risky. As they explained it to me, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if something went wrong. I knew Jarren, and I knew that there was no way he wasn’t going, no matter how much I begged him to stay. Even though they had a way in, I was worried that something would happen. I couldn’t stand the thought of losing him.

JillieThe pieces began to come together, and I got mad all over again. I pulled my arm away from Jarren, slowly this time, so as not to hurt myself. I then grabbed his wrist and proceeded to drag him out of the kitchen and down the many hallways until we came to what used to be his bedroom. I pulled him inside. Letting him go, I walked over and sat on the bed. He stood, leaning against the closed door. It was quiet for a moment. I was waiting to see if he would just come out with it. When he didn’t, I began to rub my temples.“Explain,” I stated, closing my eyes.“What exactly do you want me to explain, Piccolo?”“Don’t play dumb with me, Jarren. Why is Duncan here? Because I’m sure you have some idea. Why didn’t you tell me that he wasn’t human?”“Now really isn’t the time

JarrenStorming down the hall, I was more than pissed. I also felt guilty for lying to Jillie, but my anger was overriding that feeling. I threw the door to my father’s office open and walked in to find him sitting behind his desk while Duncan sat opposite him. They both looked up at my entrance as the door hit the wall.“No, I refuse,” I stated, ignoring Duncan and staring straight at my father.“Hello to you to, son.” My father stated sarcastically.“It’s not happening,” I told him firmly, crossing my arms over my chest.“Duncan, could you give us a moment?” My dad asked as he stood from his desk. Duncan nodded, and my father walked him to the door. He closed it behind him before turning to me. “Sit,” he demanded.I sat down as he asked and waited for him to sit before opening my mouth to speak. I couldn’t get a word out as my fathe

JarrenI stalked back over to the bed, seething. I pulled the covers off of Jillie and slid back between her legs, pulling myself free of my shorts. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I knew I shouldn’t have been doing this while I was this enraged, but I also couldn’t stop myself as I buried myself deep in one thrust.Jillie moaned as her breath hitched. Pulling almost entirely out, I snapped my hips and plunged back into her. It wasn’t long before my movements became too fast to be considered human. By this point, the only sound coming from Jillie was short breaths, yet my anger persisted. I was more than pissed that he’d walked in on us.The more I thought about it, the more out of control my movements became, and the more anger I put into each thrust. I knew I should have tried to calm down or to stop all together, but I couldn’t. I was losing control of myself, and it was too late for me to try

Jillie I sank into the hot water and allowed myself to relax. The bruises on my thighs were starting to fade, and the soreness between my legs finally disappeared after a few days. It was safe to say that Jarren hadn’t touched me intimately in that time and wouldn’t for a while. He felt terrible about what happened, and I couldn’t be too mad at him, but he scared the hell out of me when he reacted that way. There wasn’t really much I could say. Jarren had been giving himself hell about it ever since. I could see the guilt in his eyes every time he looked at me or caught a glance at the fading bruises. Even after repeatedly telling him I was okay and that I wasn’t mad at him, he still wouldn’t let it go. He was suffocating me with affection.

Jarren We stayed at the restaurant for a little longer before leaving. The ride back to my house was silent, and I knew Sage was thinking. I just hoped she figured out whatever she needed to do in order to mend her relationship. It would take work on Rian’s part as well. I’d promised myself that I would stay out of it, but if they didn’t get it resolved, I would have Jarren ask Mason to talk to him. I leaned over and hugged Sage when we pulled up to my house. I wanted to let her know that I was here for her if she needed me, no matter what. Once I walked into the house, arms wrapped around my waist, I couldn’t see them because my back was to them from closing the door. I looked down at their hands and started to laugh.&l
