JADEI was silent the whole drive. I appreciated how atlas didn’t try to make conversation or even ask how I was. I didn’t ask where we were going either, I already where he would take me.And since I didn’t want him to know where I was staying. I was cool with it.I was surprised when he pulled up at the cabin his uncle had let me stay in. I turned to him, not sure what to say as he killed the ignition.“Get you things.” He said simply.Confused, I stared at him dumbfounded. What did he mean by that.“What do you mean?” My voice sounded a little raspy from lack of use or something else.I just didn’t want to think of anything that happened. The possibility of famine just using me to get to him.Atlas had a lot of enemies. Some were dangerous but others not so much.That was the one down Sid elf being powerful and coming from a very powerful family. And with his ambitions, it would be surprising if many people didn’t want to see him fail.I never would have guessed he knew Damien. I k
JADEI gasped into his mouth which gives him the chance to slip his tongue into my mouth. A growl rumbles from his chest and I felt it right down to my toes.There was a voice in my head. It was saying things but I couldn’t make any of it out for the life of me. Something told me I should listen but how could I? Atlas has taken over every last sensible nerve in my body. And now all I can see and breathe is him.I felt his hand on my skin. How did he even get here? I am wearing a gown.My thought cuts off when his hand slipped between my thigh.I tried say his name but it only came out as a muffled sound that I couldn’t make out either.God. He was’t really touching me anywhere, just stroking my thighs but it felt so damn good.“You said you would stay.”It takes more than five seconds for me to even understand what he just said. And really, he wants to have that conversation right now?I blinked, trying to smooth out my thoughts to think of a response. He kisses down my neck, taking a
ATLASI knew my senes would never fail me. Admittedly, I didn’t notice until it was almost too late. I had been…distracted. By Jade. Her scent. Her body. Heck, just the fact that she was alive and present was enough to distract me. I hadn’t heard the sound early else I would have acted faster.And I should have noticed the way her eyes were rolled to the back of her wasn’t normal. But like I said, I was too lost in her to really pay attention to other things.I don’t know what happened to her. Was she drugged? She was shown the signs but there was no way to be sure.At least, I knew she was safe inside the closet. Not I just have to find the unlucky fuckers that thought they would get a free pass tonight.I had checked the living room and other rooms in the house but there was no sign of anyone. Or even where they might have broken in through.After surveying the kitchen, even opening the cupboards like I expect someone to hide in there. I stood straight and started walking towards th
JADEI felt like I was in a rocket ship and I wasn’t wearing seatbelt. Or maybe a super fast car. I didn’t know how to explain it but my head felt light and like I was floating. I could hear voices around me but not what they were saying.And I’m lying on my back and the next, I feel like I’m falling from a skyscraper.I didn’t like any of this at all. Not to mention, the nausea. It was horrible. Probably the worst of everything else that was going on.I heard a thud that shook me. And my worried brain went to atlas. I didn’t know how many they were. Who even are they and what do they want? I just know I didn’t want him to get hurt.I needed to do something. I can’t stay here and let this weak feeling win. I’ve never even given up and I’m not about to start.Using every last bit of strength that I had, I tried to move my body. I needed to know if I had that ability or not. Thankfully, when I tried moving my leg, it moved. Not in the direction I wanted but it was a start.The next was
JADEI blinked and shook my head, trying to regain my vision. But the asshole kept shaking, which with my self diagnosed concussion was’t really a good idea. I felt like throwing up instantly.Generally, the idea of throwing up always gave me goosebumps, and in a bad way. But right now, I actually hoped I would do it on his body.I didn’t know how fat gone he was in his craziness but I bet the would release me the second it got nasty.“Jade, are you okay?” I could tell from the strain in his voce that Atlas was trying to sound casual, but he was pissed off.When I opened my mouth to speak, the attacker covered it with his filthy palm, I immediately smashed my lips closed. Contact with that disgusting thing will probably give me incurable diseases.“She is kind of busy right now. Why don’t you give us a minute and I’l get just what I want from her?” He was mocking Atlas. Another really stupid decision.Even on a good day, he did’t have much patience. And being an alpha, they snap faste
JADEI couldn’t explain what I felt when I came out of the shower and there was a shirt on the bed for me. Not just a shirt, but atlas’s shirt.I’d slipped it on and immediately got into bed.I was saying in my old room. It was exactly as I had left it the last time. Only with free linens and bedcovers. And Sarah had been the one to do that when we arrived. She gave me a knowing look. Almost like she knew I would be back.It left me wondering if I was the only one lying to myself. I couldn’t leave Atlas. Even if I run to the end of the world, I knew for sure if he wanted me back. He would find means bring me back. And here is nothing I could do about it.Right man had been like din the dungeon.“Good thinking.” Atlas had said when I told him the reason I left the man alive. He didn’t ask me about whatever they wanted form me.It was probably a dumb move but I couldn’t leave it in the house anymore so I brought the locket out of its hiding place and wore it around my neck.Atlas had st
JADEI stared at Atlas in disbelief. This hasty be some sort of joke but he looked serious as he said it.The woman, or Arya, as he had called her, looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here. I didn’t know if that was because of me or maybe that was how she felt generally.“And why would you think that?” I blurted the words out. “I was on my way out.”Atlas gives me a look. Daring me to defy him. I didn’t know what about it spurred my confidence. Or maybe it was just my inner recklessness that never got the chance to make itself known. That must be why pop my hip out, stare him down and then scoff.“While you sort whatever this is, I’ll get my things and leave.”He was speechless and I wanted give myself a pat on the back for that. I don’t think I have ever seen him look that lost before. And to think I put that look on his face.I really was healing.I turned around on my heel, refusing to acknowledge the woman watching me. Before I’d turned though. Her expression changed from… w
ATLASEither I’m the one losing my mind or it is the world that has finally lost it. But I felt at home in Jade’s arms.She didn’t have to do much for me to turn to putty at her feet. But my God, did she taste great and like everything I have ever dreamed of.She moaned, still pressing her body harder to mine. Call me. Greedy bastard but I still wanted more.I grabbed her ass and hoisted her up. Almost instinctively, she wrapped her legs around my waist. Her body going just low enough and gracing my arousal the right way. It had my knees buckling and for a second, I forgot why I was even carrying her in the first place.I walked us to the bed, our lips still locked tight. Teeth nibbling. Tongues intertwined in the most sinful dance that has stars dancing in my vision.She is a vision. The Vision. The only one.My mind was completely locked from any other thought when I lowered her on the bed. She looked up at me, her eyes completely trusting and it did something I couldn’t explain to
