Captured (Highgate Preparatory Academy, #1)

by Rosa Lee

I pull my big girl ovaries up, figuratively speaking,

It's like she's the sun, and my soul leans towards her, desperate for any light.

He leans in, placing the gentlest of kisses on my lips, his touch reverent like I am the most precious thing in the world to him.

“Loki has been starved of love and affection his whole life, apart from his little sisters. And every one of the girls he’s been with before, they've all wanted something from him. His money, his name. Lilly? She just wants his love in return.”

You need her to shine a light on that darkness inside of you, to break those chains you’ve wrapped so tightly around you. To show you that you are not a monster.” My voice is entreating him to believe me.

“I need her to feel alive,” I tell him, our gazes locked.

Lilly makes me feel more alive than I’ve felt in a long time. She has breathed life into me, waking me up as if from a deep slumber. And I need her breath, like a dying man needs the kiss of life.

“Your fucking bitchtit of an ex started a pissing contest that she didn't have the ladyballs to finish.”

the warm water swirling round my ankles helps me to just let it go, as Elsa would say.

🙄 UGH.

I look at Loki who's still standing close to me, and the bleakness on his face breaks my heart and makes my very soul wail.

dungarees, called overalls in the U.S. apparently.

🙄 UGH.

As I hold her, I silently vow to seek revenge. Then to spend every waking moment loving her with my whole heart. My whole fucking soul and everything that I am, or ever will be, belongs to her now.

Fucking turnip.

“I should walk away and leave you right now,” he growls out, his grip tightening painfully. “But I can’t, Lilly, I can’t leave the only light to have ever come into my life. I’m not strong enough, and I’m too selfish to deny myself.”

Ash - sigh :)

“When I think about you, I burn inside, Princess. My entire being, everything I am and ever could be is yours.” I gasp, my eyes filling with moisture, but before I can say anything he continues. “I love you, Lilly Darling, and I will love you until I draw my last breath and my soul descends into the depths below. And when the stars fall from the sky, and the earth shatters into a million pieces my love for you will be in every fucking atom of the galaxy.” “Ash…” I gasp, my hands gripping his so tightly, I can feel the crests that my nails are leaving.

“‘I love thee with a love that shall not die, till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old,’”
