I watched him moved around the kitchen. For someone his size, he moved with the ease of a dancer. His shirt clung to him like a second skin. Hearing a beeping, he pulled his phone from his pocket to check the text message he had received. “What size clothes do you wear?”“Why? I don’t plan on staying here long enough to need new clothes.” I grabbed the knife from him and started dicing the onions he was working on before the text.“If you want to wear my baggy clothes, I don’t mind, but I thought you would like something more your size and comfortable.” There was a smile in his voice, and I could hear the hidden laughter. I guess I did look like I was wearing a circus tent.“Medium top, 34 b bra, medium underwear, and size 8 or medium pants.” I continued to dice the onions. They were starting to make my eyes water. I don’t understand how a plant can reduce me to a mess of tears. Tearing up, I walked to the sink and turned on the water. I felt a warm, strong chest come up behind me. Le

We had spent the rest of the day not talking. He told me about his library and I buried my head in a book till he reminded me about the date.Standing in front of the mirror, I stared at my reflection and ran my hands down the dress one more time. No make-up. And a too tight dress. What was I meant to wear on my feet? Finally, I turned and walked out of the bathroom. No one was in the room but there were two shoe boxes sitting on the bed. Reaching for the first one, I found a pair of rather tall black heels. That’s a solid nope unless he really wanted to see me fall on my face. Turning my attention to the second box, I found a pair of ballet flats in black with rhinestones in the shape of a butterfly on them. They were beautiful. Pulling them on, they fit my feet like a glove.Looking around, I gave myself a minute to find my strength to go on with this. I walked out the door and found Aziel standing at the front of the stairs. He had on a button down top, in red to match my dress. So

I had been sneaking to the kitchen early in the morning to grab enough food for the day. I didn’t want to see anyone, and I didn’t want to be social. I just wanted to be alone until he tells me I can leave. Creeping down the stairs, I made my way to the kitchen. Upon my arrival, I turned on the light and jumped. Sitting at one of the stools at the island was Aziel. His eyes were unfocused, and it appeared he hadn’t noticed that I had turned on the light. Ignoring him, I went about my business.“Are you going to keep avoiding me?” His words were slurred. Clearly someone decided to get into some alcohol tonight. Looking over, he was looking at me with a pleading look.“What is there to say, Aziel? You got someone else pregnant. You should be letting me go, I shouldn’t be here anyway.” I kind of plead with him in the hope that he would change his mind and just let me go. I could leave but I needed the ring, and he would be able to find me with the mark on my neck.“It’s not mine.”“What

We had gotten to talking again about music and lost track of time while we were in the library. So, it took us a little bit of time to make it into the kitchen. When we finally arrived, we both didn’t know what to eat. Aziel decided to ask Kade to grab us a pizza since he was on the way to the pack house for business anyway.“What kind of pizza do you like?”“Do they have BBQ sauce?”“I think so.”“Can they do a BBQ, chicken, mushroom, and jalapeno pizza?” He gave me an odd look.“That sounds like something Kade would eat. Are you sure you’re not related in some weird way?” He raised his eyebrows at me and gave me a large smile.“Possibly. I’m sure we would make great siblings.”It wasn’t long until the front door opened and we could hear Kade singing as he entered. “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don’t you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? Don’t cha?” He came in popping his butt out, which was impressive with how he held the pizza from falling.“Encore! Encor

It had been a week since my fight with Liv and everything being relieved to me. Liv had been quiet, and I learned from Kade that Aziel had threatened her life if she ever came near me again. Aziel and I had been growing closer, but there was still everything from the past week that we hadn’t talked about. It was like the elephant in the room every time we saw each other. Kade and I would hang out when Aziel had “things to do”. I wasn’t sure what those things were because he refused to talk with me about anything substantial. So, Kade and I hung out. Since the day with Liv, I was always with one of them. I could even hear them moving around in the hallway after I went to bed.We were watching Underworld and talking about how Lycans looked nothing like that when they were around and how different the vampires acted in the movie than in real life, when in stumbled Aziel. He smelt like a bar threw up on him. I looked at Kade with questioning eyes. He looked at me then quickly looked away
