“I’ll murder that fake-faced witch,” he snarled, his fangs on show as he held onto his books even tighter and I was pretty sure he was making that promise to them. Dude would definitely kill in revenge for those books. “I got this for you though,” Darius said, taking a large wooden chest from his bag and handing it over, making Orion grin again. “All my equipment?” he asked excitedly and Darius nodded.
My soukmate
“I can’t bear it if anything happens to him,” I muttered, allowing myself that single moment of love-struck weakness as I bit down on my bottom lip and tried to remind myself of just how fucking strong that man was. “Darius may be a lot of things, but he would literally move heaven and earth to be with you,”
“Here,” Seth’s voice came from behind me and I turned to find him standing there, holding out a cupcake with a large letter B iced on top of it. “You look like a girl who needs some comfort food.” “In the form of a cupcake with a random letter B on it?” I questioned, arching an eyebrow at him. “Yeah. No doubt you’ll need to keep your energy up for all the angry sex you and Darius will be having later on.”
lmfaoo
“Where did you even get that from?” Darcy asked, pointing at the cake. “It was just sitting there for anyone to take in the kitchens!” Seth replied with a grin. “So why the B?” I asked, still not reaching for the cake which he continued to hold out to me. “I didn’t know you’d be so fussy about the letter I chose. You could have had your pick really. Maybe I should have given you the T.” “There was a T?” I asked.
“Yeah. There were a bunch and each one had a letter on it which spelled out ‘Happy Birthday Brodie’ in this yummy blue icing.” Seth grinned and my brow dropped. “So you stole someone’s birthday cakes?” Darcy asked him, looking somewhere between amused and horrified. “No, not all of them. Just the Hs and the Bs and the Ps…to
LMFAOOO
“So you stole someone’s cupcakes on their birthday, and the only ones you left behind spell out the word ‘die’ right after another guy has been randomly found dead? You’re a fucking psycho.”
PMSL
“Darcy, I need a super urgent word with you about the state of these rocks,” he said suddenly.
“Hey!” I barked at him, but he was already shoving the entire thing into his mouth and dragging Darcy away from us while she gave me an apologetic smile. “What the fuck was that about?”
The roar of a motorbike engine made my eyes widen and I stared in shock as Darius burst from the darkness of the tunnel riding on the back of the limited edition super bike he’d bought me while an entire herd of Pegasuses ran along behind him butt naked and in their Fae forms.
Awww
“Don’t fucking worry me like that,” I snarled before turning away and moving to greet my friends. “Roxy!” Darius called after me, but I just flipped him off over my shoulder and kept walking.
“Never fear, Grussy is here!”
Shes so cu
Darius still looked intent on murder, so I reached out and gripped his jaw in my hand, forcing his gaze around to meet mine.
I’ll come find you once I’ve made sure Sofia and Tyler are settled in. We need to talk about your macho bullshit.” “Don’t give me the ‘we need to talk’ crap, Roxy. I’m not some house pet for you to train up. And if I wanna beat the shit out of this asshole for touching my girl with his cock out then I’ll fucking do it,” he replied.
“You should know better than to threaten a Dragon, Roxy,” he said, his words brushing against my ear as he moved his mouth so close to my flesh that it made a shiver of energy pass down my spine. “I might just have to remind you why that is.” “Bring it on, asshole, I’m not afraid of you.” I tilted my chin up, making no attempt to remove his hand from my throat and bathing in that pissed off Alpha energy he was exuding all over me as I stood my ground and dared him to do his damn worst.
ME AND WHO
“You’re lucky I like it so much when you call me names, baby.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake, he’s already trotting in on my girl,” he grumbled, his eyes narrowing on Xavier. "Look at him. He’s clearly been working out this whole freaking time. He’s all, ‘hey, Sofia, look at my tight ass and washboard abs and did you know I could totally bench press you beneath a rainbow?’ Gah.”
“Oh, hey man,” Xavier replied, his gaze roaming over Tyler in that assessing man way before hesitating on his dick which I had to admit had been trying to catch my eye too. Not that I had the slightest bit of interest in Tyler’s cock, but it was super sparkly and covered in gems and shit so it kinda drew the eye.
LMFAO
“Can you put some clothes on?” I interrupted, holding a hand out to shield my eyes from my boyfriend’s brother’s dick which was casually on display in front of me.
LMFAOOO
She really was a beautiful woman, and that was so much more apparent now that she was here, dressed in simple dresses which flattered her figure without flaunting it, her long, dark hair free of its perfectly polished up-dos and instead threaded with tiny flowers which she’d placed there with her earth magic. She still had her illusion in place, but Orion had taught
Her smiles were no longer plastic but shone with actual happiness and she was finally able to spend time with her sons and shower them with the love they’d been missing from her for so long. She even extended that maternal love to me and Darcy whenever the opportunity for it arose, as well as Lance and even Geraldine too. It was like she’d been bursting with a love that had been all trapped and tied up inside her for so long that now that it was free, she couldn’t help but dole it out to everyone as often as she could.
She’d even styled my hair for me a couple of times and it had made my heart feel all light and fluttery even though I hadn’t known how to tell her that. But I kinda got the feeling she knew, because she’d been missing that kind of affection for so long herself that she just recognised it easily in others. “Do the boys know?” she asked, glancing around for them but Darius was long gone and Xavier was pretending not to have even noticed us talking. “Everyone knows,” I deadpanned and Hamish threw a hand to his forehead.
Lmaoo
“Well Lionel is currently still learning to jerk off with his left hand, so let’s hope he can’t even satisfy himself these days,” I growled and Hamish gasped again.
LMFAOOO
“We’re gonna try and give Catalina a star divorce,” I explained and Darcy smiled widely.
Darcy frowned for a moment and I cocked my head as I looked at her in confusion while I waited for her to power share with me. I’d never had to wait like this with her before, our magic always desperate to collide and combine so the pause was more than a little odd. “Is everything okay?” I muttered as she gritted her teeth.
So.ethubg uis rreally wring
“If anyone can pull off the wedding of the century in two days it’s Geraldine Grus,” I replied as we started heading for the royal quarters.
“Well just warn me if world war three is going to break out down here because I get the feeling you’ve met your match in that one, and I’m a little worried you’ll bring the roof of this place down on all of us if you really get into it.” I laughed, not disagreeing because she knew me well enough to know that would be bullshit.
and somehow it just felt like it was…ours. Our own little slice of peace away from the world outside.
But amongst all that, I never really caught him sleeping, and now that I had, I was starting to realise how odd that was. Did he always sleep this little? I’d never had the chance to find that out before we came here, but it seemed strange that he literally never fell asleep before me or woke after.
I reached out gently, my fingers caressing the tattoo he’d gotten for me where it curved over his left hip and disappeared beneath the waistband of his jeans. My eyes drifted over the words as I sought them out. There is only her.
I wasn’t even sure I wanted to know what the hell he’d survived while he’d been away from me.
Darius only watched me for the longest time, not answering my question and letting the seconds drag until I thought he wasn’t going to reply before finally he did. “I wish we could just stay here like this forever,”
“That’s not living,” I replied, the corner of my lips lifting as I shifted over his hips, feeling the hard length of his cock pressing against me in a demand. “So what is?” he asked, like a starving man begging for scraps and my heart hurt as I looked down at him, hating the scars which Lionel had placed upon him inside and out. “Taking hold of every moment and making it count,” I replied. “A life well lived should be full of adventure and danger and passion.”
We thought you’d find it funny. We didn’t really expect it to be so…” I fought against the shame I felt at the idea of the four richest assholes in the whole of Solaria stepping into the shitty apartment we’d been shacked up in and forced myself to hold his eye.
“It made me realise why you’d been so upset by me burning your clothes off that first night. Why so little money had meant so much to you-” “It wasn’t a little bit of money,” I bit out. “It was fucking everything we had.”
“Oh, fuck him,” I snapped angrily. “He’s such a fucking dick. Why couldn’t he just be off crying over his lost hand and feeling sorry for himself in a hole somewhere? I bet he was so fucking smug about it too.”
Shes so me
“I still don’t deserve you,” he said. “But I love you with all my wretched heart has to offer and I’m going to keep proving that to you with every moment gifted to me on this earth until my dying breath. So no, Roxy, I don’t want to sleep. Because I refuse to waste a single second that I’ve been gifted with you. I want to claim each and every one and work to make them good enough for you.”
Because when Darius Acrux looked at me like I was his entire world, it felt like a whole lot of pressure for a jaded, guarded girl to live up to and yet his faith in my worth was so fierce that it was impossible to deny.
Darius held me like I was the most precious thing he’d ever owned and
I knew there was never going to be any turning back from this. From us. Darius Acrux had taken full ownership of my heart. And I was claiming his right back in return.
“Everyone has time for fucking garments, Gerry. People are gonna see your tits if you keep walking around out here like this and then I’m gonna have to kill them and there will be a whole clean up issue and-” I stopped abruptly, whirling around so that he crashed straight into me as he failed to notice my halt in time to stop himself. He grasped the ample curve of my backdoor to stop himself from falling and I rightfully punched him in the nose, knocking him back once more.
meat market as both Maxy boy and dear Justin stood glaring at each other beyond my door.
“Surely as your fiancé, my invitation is guaranteed. Hamish will be my father-in-law soon so-” A snarl like a beast from a cavern of sin filled the air and a rush of wind wiffled through my hair a moment before Justin was hurled back and pinned to the closest wall with a crack which said something had likely broken. Probably his ego, but it was hard to be certain. Max strode between us like a peacock with his tail in full bloom and bared his teeth at Justin as he came to stand before him, wielding the air to hold him against the wall.
“Don’t put your hands on her,” he warned, going all Alpha and feral and I could admit that it got my waters flowing to see him releasing the kraken on the man who was destined to whisk me away from his arms.
“I’m loyal to Solaria,” Max replied,
finding my lady Tory running along the edge of the magical barrier which kept us all safe and shrieking in delight as none other than the dastardly Dragoon chased after her in a clear attempt to capture her in his arms. It filled my heart with starlight to see her smile like that and I glowed even brighter as he tackled her to the ground and she managed to knee him in the man biscuits as they fell.
“I don’t like that fucker trying to steal you from me,” he said, owning his devotion even though we both knew that it could lead us nowhere.
“I have claimed you, Gerry. You’re just too blind to see it.”
I chuckled loudly, the mirth in me bursting forth and making him smile too
Everything sparkled with the most delicate touch of frost, each snowflake individually crafted to hold the initials H and C intertwined in eternal love which made my giddy heart glow with adoration.
“Err, that wasn’t what I was-” “They’re really something, Geraldine, thank you,” Darcy cut in, giving me a wide smile with so many teeth that they glittered like stars. I had selected her the same gown in a vibrant orange colour which really complemented the blue of her hair and I darn near started sobbing again as I looked between them. “I don’t think we’ll fit through the door though,” Tory added. “Maybe if I just cut a few layers off…” I burst out laughing at her jest, swimming through the swathes of their skirts as I headed to claim my own blush pink gown in the very same style as theirs.
