I glared at him, raising my chin defiantly, daring him to do his worst as he reached out and snatched a handful of my hair into his grasp, tugging on it hard enough to tilt my head back. A gasp of pain parted my lips and his mouth collided with mine a moment later as my heart leapt at the unexpected turn of this argument.
א??????? אני סייקיק
He was still all the things I hated about him, but he was also my own personal brand of hell. And I’d been sinning for a long time, waiting for him to punish me.
אוקי טורי......
“No,” I snapped. “You want me to stop?” Darius asked, his voice rough with desire.
consent king
When he finally pulled back, he caught my eye and something in his gaze seemed to call to me. Like he needed me to see him. The real him. Just for that second. I wondered if I was giving him a true glimpse of me in reply as I brushed my thumb along his jaw, and he tilted into my touch like he ached for it. Enough to let me know he craved the feeling of my touch on his skin.
Darius Acrux was probably the most pig headed, arrogant, infuriating man I’d ever met. But he was fucking mind blowing in the sack.
מת
“I mean, you and her, this whole ridiculous feud you’ve been so focused on. Now that you’ve both finally given in to what you really want, maybe-” “Maybe nothing. When we were together, I felt so connected to her, like our souls were trying to tear their way free of our flesh to press against each other. It wasn’t just good, it was completely overwhelming, I swear I can still feel the imprint of her skin against mine and taste her kisses on my lips…” He trailed off
“Do you have any idea how much I want her? How much it feels like I need her sometimes? It’s like she’s burrowed her way beneath my flesh and taken root in the depths of my soul. I hunger for her and ache for her and for the briefest moment, it felt like maybe she felt the same. Like all the anger and hatred between us had just been covering up everything else we desired. Like just maybe I could have something good like that, something pure and honest and just…mine.”
נווו אבל היא גם מרגישה ככה אני ממש לא מתמודדת טוב עם המיסקומיוניקיישן וזה ליטרלי כל הסדרה יהיה ככה
“Do you have any idea how much fucked up shit I’ve done to them to make sure they never rise to claim the throne?” he demanded. “I’ve played my part in this, I’ve struck at them again and again, even when it tore me apart to do it, even when it’s made her hate me like she does! There’s no way she would ever forgive me for what I’ve done and it’s all because of what we all agreed and now you’re just backing out on it and leaving all of the blame on my shoulders because you hid behind your little teacher badge and didn’t do any of it! But you’re just as bad as me and you know it, the difference

“You talk about my wife like that, you lose teeth. Any more questions?” Gabriel asked sharply. “Just one…” Washer purred. “Are the rumours true about you…do you really share that svelte body with other-” Gabriel ripped Washer out of his seat, slamming him down on the coffee table with a snarl. “What did I just say?” He held a fist to Brian’s jaw, and I folded my arms to watch the show.
The drop beneath me was impossible to judge, the void filled with shadows, darkness and a raw power which seemed to beat with a pulse of its own.
נו דריוס בא להציל אותה או מה
Orion grabbed me so quickly that a gasp of surprise escaped my lips just as I was locked in the iron embrace of his arms. It took my brain half a second to realise he was hugging me. He was relieved. He clearly hadn’t been sure if I’d agree to helping him on this, but it really didn’t seem like much of a choice to me.
חמודים
I’d already asked him if he was okay four times since we’d gotten here and I was willing to bet he’d punch me if I asked again, so I’d dropped it.

“What the fuck is she wearing!” he yelled, snatching the Atlas out of Seth’s grip and swiping through the pictures with such force he was in danger of breaking the damn thing. “Every Fae in Solaria will see this! Each one of them will have photos of her in her fucking underwear if they want them!” “Well, the photos we leaked were of her in her underwear,” I said with a vague shrug, the fact that Tory had exposed her body for the public to see didn’t seem like the most pressing issue to me. “They weren’t the same,” Darius growled. “They were grainy and dark, taken from a distance. And I tried

“I’m calling my lawyers and getting them to take every fucking photo of her dressed like that off of the internet,” Darius growled. “She clearly took part in that shoot and must have signed off on the use of those photos,” I replied with a frown. “There’s no way they’re taking them down unless she retracts her permission.” “Well then I’m going to find her and make her fucking retract it,” Darius growled, ripping his shirt off and stalking towards the window.
“We get it, you spun the story,” Darius said, his voice harsh. “Now call The Daily Solaria and get them to take down the photos.” “Why?” Tory asked, her gaze locking on him coldly. Darius ground his jaw and folded his arms. “You don’t need to have half naked photographs of you everywhere to make the story work.”
“You’re serious?” “Why not? Am I gonna be getting laid when you catch me like Tory did too?” Seth’s smile widened and I wasn’t entirely sure if that was a joke or not, but I laughed anyway.
הם ככ יהיו ביחד
Seth grinned as he kicked his shoes off and my blood heated with the promise of the hunt while I sat watching him remove his clothes. “You sure you don’t want this to end in sex?” Seth teased as I continued to watch him.
ככ אייקוני
“Fuck, Cal, I can see why you get off on that,” Seth breathed,
דפוקים
But he felt sure he could draw the darkness out of her once she returned to the Fae realm.
אוביאסלי זה יהיה בעיה בעתיד
“The next time you want to drown in them, tell me about it.” “Why?” “Because if you’re going to drown then I’m going to drown with you.”
אמאאאאא
Don’t be with him because we were together once. For one, too brief, earth-shattering moment, you were mine. And I never should have let you go.
Because Darius Acrux was absolutely not a mistake I was going to make twice.
נזכיר לה את זה אחכ
My ass hit a desk and I blinked in surprise as Orion shoved me backwards, pushing my thighs apart and moving between my legs as he pressed me back on to the hard wood.
oh....oh.. no, no.....
“Darcy is everything to me,” he breathed. “She’s all I think about and all I want. I see so much good in her and she somehow brings out the best in me. And if you feel that you can’t keep this secret for us or like you have to tell the authorities about what’s going on between us, then I understand. Because you want to protect her as fiercely as I do. But even if we’re torn apart, even if I went to Darkmore Penitentiary and had to live out the rest of my days behind bars, I’d never regret a moment of it. Because my life was empty before I loved her. And parting us won’t change the way I feel

We were the most powerful Order of Fae that had been seen in a thousand years. We were the first Fae to possess all four Elements in living memory. So maybe it was time we stopped denying our birthright. Because the Vegas had been born to rule. And I was sick of being forced to bow.

“Yes. It’s a nice gesture to welcome the lost princesses back and let them be a part of things,” Lionel replied, lifting a fork full of some fancy food to his mouth. “Let us?” I asked with a laugh, raising my voice to make sure there was no chance of them missing my words. “Just whose palace are you in again?”

“You’re not unwelcome,” Darius murmured so low that I wasn’t sure anyone else could hear him. “And I’m sorry we’re ruining your day.”
“Oh, and feel free to break my son’s heart the next time he comes looking to crawl between your thighs,” he added, shadows coating his words again as he tried to compel me to fall to his will. “I was going to command him to stop chasing you, but I think this might just be better. When you cut him open and make his wretched heart bleed for you, his hatred will only grow stronger. And when it comes time for us to destroy you and your sister once and for all, he’ll be only too willing to play his part.”
הו הוא ככ מנסה
“Because you’re in my head all the time. You pulse through my blood with each beat of my heart. I live for every scrap of attention you offer me and suffer through every moment you spend ignoring me,” he said darkly, holding my eye the entire time. “I thought you hated me?” I asked. “I do,” he agreed. “Because you represent everything I want and everything I can’t have.”
“You want me?” I asked slowly, taking a step towards him despite the dark energy which coiled around him. “You know I do,” he replied simply as if anything about us was simple. “No, I don’t. I know you like to hurt me and tear me down,” I said. “I know you want to control me and take from me and make me bow at your feet.” “I do,” he agreed, not even trying to deny any of it. “And I think a fucked-up part of you likes it when I do those things.”
“Neither do I,” he growled. “But when I see you, all I want is to lay claim to you. I want you to be mine and I know you never will be and it’s making me even more fucked up than I was to begin with. That’s why I hate you. Not because I’m supposed to or because my father wants me to, but because you represent every freedom I’ve never been given. It’s like you were designed entirely to taunt me and toy with me and crack me open and I won’t let it stand.”
“I don’t want you on your knees. I want you fighting me and hating me and fucking me like you mean it. You’re Roxanya Vega and you weren’t built to bow to anyone,” he growled passionately. “You want me to hate you?” I asked in surprise. “I want you to feel for me. And I’ll take hate if that’s all you’re offering.”
Together, we were unstoppable. Together, we could win.
זה ליטרלי הפיתרון פשוט תשלימו אתם יכולים להיות חברים כאלה טובים
“You mean the Heirs,” Tory said scathingly. “Do you?” I pressed and Orion nodded. “Whose side are you on?” Tory narrowed her eyes. “I’m on the side that stands against Lionel Acrux,” he said, his jaw tightening and my heart thumped unevenly at the strength in his gaze. “It’s the only side that matters.”
“You can deny it as much as you like, Roxy, but you and me are going to happen over and over,” he promised, the scent of him wrapping around me and the heat of his flesh blazing so fiercely I could feel it despite the inch of space dividing us. “So no matter how much you hate me or despise me or wish you didn’t want me in any way at all, there’s no stopping it. You don’t feel fire like that and just let it burn out.”
A frown tugged at my brow as I tried to remember what I’d been doing tonight. There was somewhere I was meant to be, something I was supposed to be doing…
this was no Siren Song.
divine moment
There was something achingly important about this moment. Something which held my fate in its hands and locked it up tight. I knew it in my gut. This magic was no trick or ruse to lure me somewhere. It was pure. The magic of the stars in their simplest form. Destiny.
This was a Divine Moment.
אבל איך ידעתי
She was my mate.
פליז שהם באמת יהיו
But she was like a breath of fresh air.
'you were like coming up for fresh air it was like i was drowning and you saved me'
It was time for us to choose our fate. And I didn’t think I’d ever had such an easy decision to make in my entire life.
אומייגד פליז שהיא תבחר כן אני לא אשרוד
We were standing in the Shadow Realm.
ואוווו נאר
“I mean, like the way I lie awake at night, remembering what it felt like to hold you in my arms. How still the world felt, how pure that moment was between us. How I imagine I can still smell your perfume as my eyes fall closed and how I reach across my bed in the night wishing you were really there. Or like the way my heart beats harder when you walk into a room and my throat thickens when I try to think of the right things to say to you. How I fight to get your attention in any way I can because I can’t bear it when you ignore me.”
But there it was. Darius was staring at me like he was breaking open and I was the only one who could put him back together.
How could I just forget about everything he’d put me through?
כי אתם מייטס די נווווווו
Something that I’ve wished you could be in the darkest corners of my heart for so long that I can’t deny it anymore. I want you. And I don’t care if you’re a Vega or not. I don’t care if your name is Roxy or Tory or anything else. I just want you.”
“If I’m right about this, we won’t get another chance,” Darius begged, raw desperation burning in his eyes as he looked at me, seeing the doubt that warred through me. “Don’t you understand? We’ll be Star Crossed. Bound to be alone forever. We’ll never find love with another. We’re meant to be together - it’s fate.”
הוא נואש כמוני בול
“Fuck fate,” I snapped. “I don’t want it. If it’s bound me to you then it’s a cruel and twisted thing. I don’t need destiny to choose my life for me. I’ll make my own fate and it won’t be with you!”
איזה זונה
I won’t force you to do anything or be with me if you don’t want to, but at least give us a chance. Kiss me again with the stars overhead and let our story begin anew here.”
