Bethany
We walked mostly in silence. Tadeas seemed to have a strange energy rolling off his body. I was lost in my thoughts trying to figure him out. Every now and then my eyes would drift over to him as if he wasn’t really there.
“I am just up the road. I can make it from here. Thanks.” I said quickly picking up my pace again.
“I don’t mind going the rest of the way.” He responded sounding somewhat offended.
“I see. You prefer your own company to others.” His voice turned condescending.
“No, I don’t know you. And nothing that has happened so far says I should get to know you.” I shifted my weight as my ankle throbbed.
“Do you believe in Magic?” He asked will only 4 houses left to pass.
“Like flying brooms and people turning into frogs?” I scrunched my nose.
“Things you cannot explain. Old myths and stories about beautiful creatures and witches.”
“I don’t know about all that.” I muse

I was lost in his eyes again; the specks of gold seemed to be swirling around. My mind must be slipping into sleep already. His arms wrapped around my body. The embrace took all my pain away. It was as if I was exactly where I needed to be. “Tadeas…” I said just above a whisper. “Aries.” He said in a low seductive voice that was new. I tilted my head all the way back so I could see his face once more. He placed his hand on my cheek, bending his neck, his nose lined with my own. My breath hitched and I wasn’t sure what to do. Is he about to kiss me again? I thought to myself. No way. “You need your rest.” His breath smelt like honey. I no longer wanted rest, I wanted to kiss him. I didn’t move, I had forgotten to breath. He dipped his head closer pressing his lips to mine. His grip around me tightened causing my muscles to sing with approval. His tongue passing my lips, allowing me to explore the taste
Scales and Scars Waterfalls
I thought the greenery was beautiful before. This had looked untouched by the pollution and destruction of men. There was a waterfall so large I was amazed it sat so peacefully. The flowers were all such radiant colors, I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried. “It’s beautiful!” I yelled over the motorcycle’s hum. We parked not too far from the trail. Tadeas asked me simple questions here and there as we walked down the path. I asked a few times what was in the bag he carried, while he refused to answer. He would just chuckle and say “patience”. We reached the bottom of the falls, approaching the wall that seemed to reach into the sky, leaving the earth. He looked over at me with a sly grin before looking up the wall. “What’s that look for? I don’t know you that well. I know I do not like that look.” I said trying to keep myself from laughing. “We are going to climb. Do you think you can manage?” His voice teasing me
Scales and Scars Destiny
I didn’t mind, the feeling of his body on mine was intoxicating. I reached my hands towards the opening of his shirt pulling it off his shoulders. I could sense his apprehension as he leaned back slightly, not breaking contact with my lips. “Take it off.” I managed to say into the kiss. A low growl came from his chest. Something inside my body told me it was okay. I wanted him to make the noise again. I could feel his member pushing on my thigh through the jeans. He lifted me up slightly removing my shirt. His eyes widened as he saw the scar covering from my shoulder to the bottom of my ribs. I had forgotten about it in the moment. I could sense his anger rolling off him as he focused on the imperfections of my body. He leaned in and kissed me passionately. I felt his bare chest press against mine as my body gushed, soaking my panties. A deep groan came from his chest as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me. “I am serious. We need to sto

The car arrived for Bethany and me shortly after I walked into her house. Rob was sitting in the recliner, box of tissues in one hand tea in another. He did not look like he was feeling well at all. “Thank you for saving me. She would never let me live it down if she went alone. Sick or not.” He said with a cough. I took a step backwards before covering my hand over my mouth. “No problem, I’ll just wait on the porch, no need to spread that further.” “So dramatic…” Bethany said before placing a kiss on Rob’s head. “Feel better, I shouldn’t be too late.” We slid into the backseat of the car while Bethany was doing so
Scales and Scars Two Halves to the Story
The following day I had called Johnathon in the morning to decide on a time for dinner. I hadn’t slept at all the night before; I spent the whole night feeling betrayed. I thought Tadeas wanted the same things I did. Johnathon was a perfect gentleman, a safe choice. He picked me up, we went to a small Italian restaurant across town. When he dropped me off, he walked me to the door but didn’t attempt anything further. A few days later he had called to ask me out for another date. I hadn’t seen Tadeas since the night at the art gallery. The longer I went, the more the hole in my chest grew. I tried to throw myself into new distractions. I thought about driving to the waterfall. Something about being back at a place where everything seemed so possible, was e
Scales and Scars Honesty
“The only thing I ask of you is to be upfront with me. I am an understanding person, given the chance.” I said as I opened the door to the guest house. “I can agree to that.” He said closing and locking the door behind him. “If we are going to be upfront… Can I ask you something?” I questioned, he nodded nervously. “Why does it feel so good when you touch me? That’s not a normal thing, is it?” I said trying to hide my apprehension. “We are made for each other. I told you, we are bonded. That is just proof of our fate.” He said taking his hand placing it on my cheek. &n

I woke to the sound of a bell. The high-pitched ding sounded again. I reached over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone, blinking my eyes to clear my vision. Right away I was slightly confused, I didn’t typically receive naked pictures of women. To my dismay when I had clicked the screen on it opened the message right away. Picture after picture had been flooding the screen. All intimate pictures of various positions of Mia, the woman Tadeas was escorting at the art show. There were at least 6 before I placed the phone back, face down. My blood instantly began to boil. I looked around the room searching for Tadeas. He was no where to be found. Once I was able to gather my wits. I realized I could hear the shower running. I stood, pacing around the room
Scales and Scars Ex's
My body jolted upward in my bed. I wasn’t sure where I was or what my name was even. I looked around the room breathing heavily before finding a glass of water to my right. I snatched the glass before drinking the contents. I took a few breaths trying to calm myself. I went over the basics first before panicking myself beyond return. My name is Aries, I’m at home, in my bed, alone. I thought slowly before remembering I wasn’t alone before I… fainted? I wasn’t sure what happened. “Tadeas?” My voice cracked slightly as if I drank fire. Nothing sounded in the house. It was strangely quiet. I hesitated before attempting to move my legs, my dream slightly haunting me. Cautiously, I stood onto my feet, holding the bed for support. “Tadeas?” I spoke louder this time. I walked around the house with ease. It seemed I was taking precautions for no reason. I felt better than I had in years. My body was alive and strong. &nbs
