Semua Bab Hellbound: The Last Tribute: Bab 41 - Bab 50

~Rory~“Cara mia,” Elijah murmured, his warm palms sketching gentle circles on my breast.“Hm?” Stirred awake, I hummed and wiggled from the cage of Elijah’s leg over mine and arms, embracing me. But he kept me in place, running his soft lips on the dip of my neck, flicking my earlobes with his tongue, nibbling.“Rory… I want you again,” he whispered; his hand traipsed slowly down my tummy, past the soft curls of my trimmed pubic hair, through the folds of my sex. He parted my soaked lips and circled my clit tenderly.I moaned, back arching. Through heavy-lidded eyes, I noticed the gloomy morning light from the glass wall.“You like that?” he wanted to know, continu

~Rory~Since his revelation, I stayed tight-lipped, keeping my thoughts to myself. He could feel my fear, uncertainty, and reluctance, but as he said, he didn’t crowd me, gave me the space I needed.Since then, I have been on autopilot, took a shower, got dressed, and ate the breakfast he made. I acted as if everything was fine when I was honestly not.I never pegged Elijah for someone ordinary. He turned my world upside down since I bumped into him in that cafe, but this is just beyond what I anticipated.First, he indirectly told me he’s more or less two thousand years old. I mean, how can I wrap my mind around that fact and add it into the mix that I am his soulmate! And since he’s a child of Lycan royalty and vampire royalty, it means I am turning i

~Rory~As soon as I arrived home, I stripped out of my clothing and steered for the shower, hoping the warm drizzle of water could ease the tension in my body. Luckily, it did. The throbbing in my head lessened a bit.I followed my usual routine of foraging through my kitchen when I was done, glad to find the food Nolani had for me in the fridge.I preheated the chicken parmesan, and while drinking a glass of Pinot Noir, a thought came to me. Elijah said I should call him if I needed anything. Can I consider this discovery a good enough reason to hear his voice?In the office, I had my work to distract me. Here is my place; I had nothing but this wine and time to think about him. Those steely gray eyes that had the power to weaken me with just one glance; his lips, sweet

~Rory~ Jace stayed with me through the night, not in my bed, but surprisingly, he volunteered to sleep on the couch. Not that he was anything but respectful to me, but I was expecting him to put up a fight on where he should sleep. He moved the couch from my living room to my room and talked to me until I fell asleep. He informed me about Elijah’s kind request from him and Nolani to keep an eye on me every night. Because apparently, I have the ability to sleep and wake up at another place. I didn’t believe Jace when he told me that, but I remember my second night here in Salvatore Hills. The one where I dreamt of Jace and Elijah for the first time. It explains why I woke up wearing a man’s dress shirt and the scratches on my body the next day. I also remember Elijah refusing to let me go in my sleep last Saturday

~Rory~“What was that all about?” Paul asked as soon as Bobby turned the corner.Eyes still fixed on where Bobby disappeared, I said, “fishing for information.”Paul faced me, tilting his head to the side, scrutinizing me. “Fishing? It sounds to me like you know something I don’t.”I rolled my eyes for dramatic effect, hoping it was enough to conceal what I truly knew about Bobby and the said coach. “He winced when he crossed his arms, and he was sweating in beads of moisture when the weather was damn cold. Unless he was like me who suffered from eating something that upset his tummy, I say something was going on in this school that we have to find out.”My partner hummed,
