11: I’m So Horny: Touching Myself

Chapter 11He practically threw me away from him. I stumbled when my feet hit the floor, my legs were too shaky to support me properly, and I had to grab onto the wall to keep from falling.Nathan was backing away from me like I had burned him. One of his hands came up to his mouth and he wiped at his lips roughly, like he could erase what had just happened. His chest was heaving with harsh breaths and I could see sweat beading on his forehead.But the thing that made my stomach drop was that he wasn’t hot anymore. The feverish heat that had been radiating from his skin was gone. His body temperature seemed completely normal now, like the act of kissing me, of touching me, had somehow regulated whatever was wrong with him.“I… didn’t,” Nathan started, then stopped. He looked down at his hands like they belonged to someone else. “Why did I do that?”The question wasn’t directed at me, was he talking to me or himself ? I couldn’t tell.“Nathan,” I tried to say, taking a small ste

12: Kael Kissed Me

Chapter 12 Was Nathan coming back? Or was he about to burst in here and yell at me again?He shouldn't have heard I just touched myself to his name right? The footsteps stayed there for what felt like an eternity. I could almost feel the weight of whoever was on the other side, could sense them standing there wrestling with some internal decision.Then, slowly, the footsteps retreated back down the hallway. I heard Nathan’s door open and close, and then silence fell over the house again.I let out the breath I had been holding and climbed into bed fully clothed. I pulled the covers up to my chin and stared at the wall, my mind racing with too many thoughts to process.What is going to happen tomorrow? How was I supposed to face Nathan after what had just happened between us? And what did it mean that his body only seemed to regulate when he was touching me? I noticed that that when we both had sex too. “Try to get some sleep,” Ivy said softly. “We can figure that out tomorrow.”

13: I Want You, Ara.

Chapter 13 It wasn’t forceful or demanding like when Nathan had kissed me.It was soft and gentle, his lips moving against mine with a tenderness that made me want to cry all over again. His hands were still cupping my face and his thumbs stroked my cheekbones as he deepened the kiss slowly.I was shocked at first, my eyes flying open even though his were closed. Kael was kissing me, actually kissing me on the mouth. After fourteen years of only knowing him as a presence in my mind, he was here in physical form and his lips were on mine.But something was wrong.“MATE!” Ivy’s voice suddenly screamed in my head so loud I actually flinched. “That’s our mate! Kiss him back! Touch him! Claim him!”She was trying to push forward, trying to take control of my body, and I had to fight to keep her contained. The internal struggle made me tense up and I felt Kael notice because he pulled back slightly.“Are you okay?” he asked, his silver eyes searching my face with concern.“I’m fine,” I

14: Do You Bewitch Me?

Chapter 14 “I want to be inside you, Ara. I want to make you feel good.”“Yes,” Ivy made me say, even though I hadn’t decided that was what I wanted. “Please, Kael.”His hands went to the waistband of my shorts and he started to pull them down. I lifted my hips to help him and soon they joined my shirt and bra on the floor. That left me in just my panties while he was still fully clothed.Kael’s hand slid between my legs and even through the fabric of my underwear I could feel how wet I was. He groaned when his fingers made contact, rubbing over the damp material in slow circles.“You’re soaking,” he said, and there was awe in his voice. “Is this all for me?”“Yes,” Ivy answered for me again, making my voice breathy and desperate.But the truth was I wasn’t sure who it was for. Was my body responding to Kael or was it still worked up from Nathan’s aggressive kiss the night before? I honestly couldn’t tell anymore.Kael hooked his fingers in the waistband of my panties and pulled

15. Nathan’s Ex

Chapter 15The sun climbed higher in the sky outside my window and I watched the light change as morning turned to afternoon. My phone buzzed a few times with messages but I ignored it. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to disappear. I was about to stand, ready to go out. That was when I heard the doorbell ring downstairs. My whole body tensed immediately and I listened hard, trying to figure out who it could be.Marcus? Nathan’s heavy footsteps crossed the living room and I heard the front door open. There was a moment of silence and then a woman’s voice drifted up the stairs.“Nathan! Oh my god, it’s so good to see you.”The voice was bright and cheerful and vaguely familiar, though I couldn’t immediately place where I had heard it before. I sat up in bed slowly, my curiosity getting the better of my desire to hide from the world.“Sienna,” Nathan’s voice came next, and there was something in his tone I couldn’t quite identify. Surprise maybe? Or confusion? “What

16. Don’t Say A Word.

Chapter 16 But instead he gripped her wrists and gently pushed her hands away from his body. “Sienna, you can’t just show up here after two years and expect everything to go back to the way it was,” he said, but his voice didn’t sound as firm as his words. “You left. You made that choice.” “I know,” Sienna said, and her eyes were shining like she might cry. “And I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. But I’m here now and I’m ready to fight for us, for what we had.” Fight for us? She leaned in closer and I watched in horror as she pressed her lips to Nathan’s neck. Not quite a kiss but intimate enough to make my blood boil. Nathan’s eyes closed and I saw his jaw clench. “Stop,” he said, but his voice came out weak. The pain in my chest was unbearable now. I felt like I was having a heart attack. My legs were shaking so badly I had to grab onto the wall to keep from collapsing. “Lyra, you need to calm down,” Ivy said urgently. “You’re going to shift if you don’t get control of your

17: Know Your Place

Chapter 17 Lyra’s POVCat arrived exactly nineteen minutes after I shut Ivy up.I heard the doorbell from my room and then the low murmur of voices downstairs — Nathan’s flat, clipped tone and then Cat’s bright one cutting right through it. I pressed my ear to the door like the most pathetic version of myself and listened. I couldn’t make out the words, but I could hear the shape of them. Cat being polite but pointed. Nathan being short. And then, cutting underneath both of them, something that made my jaw tighten.Sienna’s laugh. She was still here.I pulled back from the door and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my own hands. It had been over an hour since she’d shown up in that red dress and pressed her mouth to Nathan’s jaw like she was reclaiming lost territory. Over an hour and she’d made no move to leave.A soft knock at my door made me flinch.“Lyra.” Cat’s voice, low and careful. “It’s me. Open up.”I crossed the room and opened the door. Cat took one look at my fa

18: Don’t Follow Me. You Don’t Care Anyways.

Chapter 18Lyra's POVI stood at the end of that driveway for a long time.Longer than I should have. Long enough that the cold had worked its way through my jacket and settled into my shoulders, and the light from the downstairs window had not changed at all, which meant they were still in there, still comfortable, still filling whatever space existed between them with conversation and familiarity and the specific kind of ease that only came from knowing someone's history.He told me about you. You should know your place.I locked my phone and put it in my pocket and I stood there for another full minute just breathing. In through my nose, out through my mouth. The way you breathed when you were trying to keep the animal part of yourself from doing something that could not be undone.Ivy was silent. She had gone so quiet since I read that message that I could barely feel her at all, just a low steady presence sitting somewhere at the back of my mind, and her silence felt more danger

19: The Unexpected Fall

Chapter 19 I set my suitcase down and let the wheels touch the ground and I started walking. It was not a long walk to the house I shared with Marcus. Twenty minutes at a normal pace, maybe a little more with a suitcase. My feet knew the route without my brain having to engage, and I was grateful for that because my brain was not doing well. The first five minutes were fine. I walked and I breathed and I focused on the sound of the wheels on the pavement and the distant sound of a car somewhere and the way the streetlights made everything look orange and flat. I did not think about Nathan. I did not think about Sienna sitting on his couch with her legs tucked under her and his throw pillow in her lap. I did not think about the note on the kitchen counter or whether he would read it tonight or in the morning or whether he would read it and feel nothing at all, which was by far the most likely outcome. Then the ache started. It was subtle at first. Just a faint pressure in

20. Lyra, Where Are You?

Chapter 20Nathan's POVFive Years LaterThe movers had been going in and out for three hours and I had not said anything to any of them beyond what was necessary. I stood in the middle of the sitting room with my arms crossed over my chest and watched them work, and every time one of them looked at me for directions I pointed or gave one word and looked away. I did not have patience for small talk. I had not had patience for much of anything in the last five years.The house was new. That was the entire point of it. I had sold the other place 3 days ago to the government since it was close to Main Street, although I didn’t want to, because I was waiting for her. Marcus had said once, in the last real conversation we had before everything between us went silent, that I had a habit of staying in spaces that held too much of other people inside them. He said it like a criticism. I had moved anyway, just too late for it to mean what it should have.I had not spoken to Marcus properl
