“Well, if you aren’t just a fruit salad filled with banana drama,” I purred, stepping closer.
what 😭
Darius was busy placing candles in the top of it
"Well, I had a go at baking. And the guys helped. Seth did the icing. But I spread the strawberry filling so..." Darius shrugged.
HE BAKED HER A CAKE !!!!!!
I raised my hand, casting a spell meant to blast that insulting cake to smithereens, but Darius growled dangerously and stepped forward, intercepting my vines and turning them to dust with his fire magic.
“I just wanted to do something nice for them,” he growled like a cougar backed into a corner. “I wanted to see Roxy smile and Darcy…fuck, she’s dealing with enough shit. I just wanted one good day. It might not be a fucking fairy wonderland in here, but it’s a place where we can all forget the world for a while.”
He put so much effort into resisting her that he had been hating himself for wanting her when it should have been the most natural thing in the world.
"One ice palace for a wannabe princess coming up," he said with a deadly look in his dark eyes. "No one fucks with my girl on her birthday."
"He made several advances towards Roxy before I challenged him in Fire Elemental and made him eat sand in front of everyone then threatened to do it daily if he didn't back the fuck off of her.
"Because I'm a hateful bitch who believed no one could ever love me for so long that I ended up making it come true."
Darius was telling her that he belonged to her and that he wanted her to belong to him in return. Even if the stars wouldn't allow that in a physical sense.
SOMEONE SEDATE MEE
"Fate is a funny friend and a heartless enemy,"
Darius was standing close enough to Tory for them to be sharing body heat without quite touching each other. Instead of watching any of the fireworks, his gaze was fixed on her, this look of longing on his face that made my soul hurt.
Tory groaned softly as the image of her face faded from the sky and Darius grinned at her with enough heat to light a forest fire.
I nodded once, biting my tongue on screaming about how fucked up everything she'd just said was. "So give me that time," I said. "Two years. Two years of you and me to fuck and fight and fall in love and be all the things we won't be able to be once you walk down that aisle. Give me that time to try and convince you that that life isn't what you really want. We don't ever have to talk politics, we don't even have to tell anyone if you don't want to. Just let it be me and you, at least for a little while."
