Aria
A few days later I am laying in my bed listening to music, trying to calm myself down. The last few nights have been hard for me, adjusting to the baby's feeding schedule. I have been getting about four hours of sleep a night. I am beginning to feel a little stir crazy from days of spending almost every waking moment in my room, trying to avoid seeing Cash.
Maddy mentioned last night that Cash had some errands to run today so that I would be alone most of the day so I have decided to venture out and cook a b
I look up to find myself staring straight into his intensely hypnotic green eyes. He is watching me intently and I find myself becoming lost in his gaze. “I never meant to imply anything rude or unsavory about you. I would never 'slut-shame' you, as you called it. The remark I made was out of line and I should not have said it. ai had not right.” I nod mutely up at him, as if I have suddenly lost the ability to talk. He smiles slightly at me. “I am sorry. Sorry for everything that I have said and for how I have acted over the last few days. For being a stupid, passive-aggressive typical guy.”
I wake up the next morning to find my legs tangled up with Cash's and my shirt raised up my body until it is just barely covering my breasts. My head is on Cash's shoulder with my hands laying on his bare chest. His firm, sexy chest. His hand rests on my almost bare hip, firm fingers gripping the smooth skin. His other hand is under me, curling around my bare rib cage, just inches from my exposed nipple. I lay still, trying really hard not to distrub him. I don't want to wake him up just yet. I like watching him sleep. He looks so peaceful and beautiful. Suddenly a thought occurs to me.. I don't see the baby anymore and I begin to freak out. I sit up suddenly and look around in a blind pani
Aria “Calm down.” Cash tells me. “Just get dressed. Quickly.” He eases out of me but I have no time to enjoy the feeling because in a flash he is off of me. He is standing completely dressed by the crib as I pull on my tee shirt. I tug it over my head then quickly grab my panties, pulling them on. I hop back in the bed and pull the covers up to my chin. “Come in.” I say as normally as I can manage.
He nods. “Good.” He opens the door and leaves, giving me a small wave from the porch. I wave back before I shut the door behind him. I go find Mason and the two of us head to the living room to watch a movie. After the first movie, I go to change and feed Wren. When I come back Halona and Moira have joined Mason. I curl up between him and Halona on the couch while Moira hugs the baby. The four of us spend the rest of the day eating junk food and watching movies. After a dinner of fried chicken, buttery mashed potatoes, green bea
AriaSometime in the night I hear banging on my front door. I check my phone to see the time. I see thirteen missed calls and texts on my phone. Beside me Cash stirs. “What's happening?” Before I can answer I hear my name shouted through the house and the sound of feet running up the stairs. “Aria!”
Aria “Aria!” Cash pulls me in his arms while Mason grabs the phone that I dropped in the snow. “What's going on?” He asks into the phone. He listens for a minute before he speaks. “We are in the woods.” I listen as he gives them directions. Then he hangs up the phone, sliding it into my pocket. They give me a little time to compose myself before the three of us set off. Mason sniffs again, turning to his right. Me and Cash walk along behind him. He sniffs the air again,
“Leaving so soon?” A voice asks from behind them. “Seriously? You totally ripped that from every cartoon villian in every movie!” Halona says, rolling her eyes. “Say another word and I will rip out your tongue.” Halona is violently shoved forward, landing on the ground in a heap. I notice her hands are tied behind her back. I glance at Moira but she is barely concious on her feet.
I spin around to find a woman I haven't seen before coming around from the side of the house. She is tall and thin. Jet black hair and milky white skin in stark contrast. Her eyes are a fiery red which is the only difference from her brother. She looks just like Thanatos. “Eris.” “Ah, I see you know who I am, little one.” She smiles as she glides across the snow. Her short black dress hits at her upper thighs and her shoulders are bared to the elements, but if the cold bothers her she doesn't let on. “I know that my brother is going to be so sorry that he missed this.”
