Chapter 19
I lay lost in my own thoughts for so long that Cole had returned with damp hair and wearing clean clothes before I had managed to settle anything, there was just so much going on in my head, so many thoughts and worries and lies that I didn’t know how to focus on any one thing or how to come to grips with it all.
“Are you okay?” He asked his eyes never straying from mine. I watched as he took a deep breath when I stayed silent, I honestly didn’t know how to answer that question. “I know that we don't know each other that well yet but I can’t help feeling as though you are trying to shoulder all of this on your own.” He stated and I flinched at his words.

The week seemed to fly by, my days were so full that I barely had time to stop and think, something that I had actually become grateful for, I didn't have time to worry or panic when I was busy with university my friends and studying everything that Peter and Cole deemed necessary. After several long discussions with Cole and a phone call to Peter, I quit my job on Tuesday and spent all day Wednesday holed up in the flat reading through the books Peter had sent home with me, it wasn't a sacrifice I had wanted to make, I had liked my job but there simply wasn't enough hours in the day for me to fit everything in.I had agreed to take my seat on the council, a governing body that ran the city of Primogentius, they controlled the laws and the justice system, they

Thursday morning was just as awkward as the night before had been. My dreams had been filled with thoughts of the warrior I knew was sleeping on my sofa bed and I couldn’t look him in the eye after a night of dreaming about him naked. We barely spoke as we gathered our things, ate a quick breakfast and headed down to the car. Cole, as had become out routine, climbed behind the steering wheel as I clambered into the passenger seat still refusing to look at him.My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how to make this right and get us back into the comfortable friendship we had shared, so much so that when the sickness started in the pit of my stomach and I startled into reality I was surprised to see we were halfway to the university campus, but my thoug

I dozed off sometime during the drive and it was almost dark when Cole woke me up. “We're here.” He stated his face contorted into the intense mask he wore from time to time, a mask I had come to associate with his seriousness.I stretched out my arms as I waited for him to open the boot. The inn was almost as empty as the first time I saw it with one loan occupant sitting in a darkened corner nursing a half empty glass of ale.“How does Peter manage to keep this place running if he never has any customers?” I questioned quietly as I followed Cole through the back and up the stairs, giving a nod of greeting to Matt, the bar tender as we passed.“The inn isn't here as a business, it’s the gateway. The council pay the human bills on the inn. Ensuring this place is almost always empty is better for us, we can pass through with no one noticing us that way.”I shook off the final remna

Peter led the way down the stone staircase where a large, closed top carriage was waiting, it was like something you would see in an old movie, very regal and not at all what I was expecting considering the cart Cole and I had ridden in last weekend.“These are the royal carriages.” Cole stated noting my expression. “I'm assuming that this one is yours. Most civilians don't have their own carriage and instead use one of the town carts that we used last time, they work similarly to taxis, but most Royal families have their own carriage.” He held out his hand, indicating that I should get in.Every time I thought I knew what was going on something else changed or happened that changed

“It’s not really a rule so much as an expectation. I will spend all of my time with you so there will be no time to spend with my family.” He responded and I found myself appalled that he was actually defending such a thing.“That's, no that's terrible. Of course, you should spend time with your family.”“But I can’t, as I said.”“Yes, because you will always be with me. Well then I will just have to come with you won’t I.” I stated stubbornly, I was ready to fight him on this one. However, Cole didn't look like he was about to argue, he looked stunned.
The secret city (Primogentius series Book 1) Chapter 25
The ride to the council building was longer than I remembered although that may have had something to do with all of the people who were celebrating in the streets and the two detours, we needed to take because of that.It was surreal, seeing all the residents, a multitude of races singing and dancing, chatting with friends, happy and carefree, completely oblivious to what was happening just a few streets away.The carriage pulled up outside the doors to the elaborate stone building and Cole stepped out, checking for danger before helping me down. I don't know why he was so insistent on keeping an eye on things in the city, surely, we would have some warning before the outlaws attacked but he seemed to rel

I was so lost in my thoughts I barely noticed when Cole stepped to my side. “Are you okay?” He questioned and glanced at him feeling the pull in my body as I took in his concerned look and handsome features. Like butterfly’s in my stomach and goose bumps on my skin, an ache between my legs and an twinge in my heart, the feelings were getting stronger and as I watched him staring at me from less than a foot away all I wanted to do was reach u an kiss him. I wanted to know how his skin felt under mine.The whole world fell away as I watched him, his own eyes darkening with desire as his eyes flickered from mine to my lips and back again. I have no idea how long we s

Small tingles raced up my arm from the contact of our hands, and with nothing else more pressing to think about, I found myself lingering on thoughts of the man before me. Cole too seemed unable to tear his eyes away for more than a second and I considered for a moment the consequences of giving in to this, of reaching up and kissing him, but before I could make up my mind he tugged on my hand and let it drop before checking the street around us and leading the way up to the front door of the house.I let up both in and Cole made his way in silence to the kitchen. I took several deep breaths before following him and stood in the doorway watching as he caught his own breath whil
