ThomasI could tell that Cora had questions about what just happened. She was fidgeting in her seat and I could practically see the wheels spinning in her head. Even though we have only been together for a day and a half I can say that I already pick up on her emotions. She has let her guard down with me and so now I can tell what she is feeling, and right now she is curious.“I do not for one second believe a word that man says. I knew the moment he walked into my office that he was going to be in trouble. I told you that I had watched most of your evaluation. I know the doctor who examined you personally and they would never lie about your purity. I’m afraid that Michael has a different idea as to what the Chosen is about than I do. I will explain more later.”She looks over at me and I see the understanding in her eyes. She is a smart little thing to pick up on the subtle hints that I have been giving her all day. Not once has she pressed me

Cora “So you’re saying that you two have been working to take down the Chosen before the Reaping?” Elliot smiles like it’s his birthday and he just got the thing he wanted most. Thomas makes his way over to me and takes my hand in his. “Well, it is the three of us, “Rebecca states with a light in her eyes that shows that she is in this for the long haul. “Should I go over the areas that we have been working on Thomas?” “That would be great Rebecca. Let’s all have a seat because this conversation is heavy.” He leads me over to the couches and we take a seat. He never lets go of my hand and I can tell he is wanting to reassure me that everything is going to be ok. “So I guess I should start from the beginning. We all grew up here around headquarters. Just like the girls in the villages I was taken out of school way before most of the boys. I was given a temporary job of inventory for the shipments of food and logging the distribution of the food.” She s

ThomasHearing those words come from her mouth hit me light a bolt of lightning. I found myself feeling lightheaded and the thought that I may be going into shock was just around the corner. Not only did she live in a village that she was treated as a second-class citizen but she also had to live in fear of whether the main rapist would find her and do unspeakable things to her. I’m a man and I know that we all have urges, but I have never thought of getting pleasure by taking what I want by force. I couldn’t live with myself if I did something so depraved. I’m ripped from my thoughts by Rebecca running up to Cora and wrapping her arms around her.“I can’t believe that you had to love that way. Here in Headquarters women were never equal to men but they have never been treated that way. To live in fear of just walking doesn’t the street makes my head spin.” She has tears pouring down her face as well and she and Cora are wiping

ThomasCora is sitting there with the blanket pulled up to her chin but the look on her face says that she is anything but cold. I knew she was watching me earlier and nothing made me happier than to know that she was just as interested in me physically as well as personality-wise. To most, she may seem like your average girl with flame-red hair, but to me and that moron Michael she is anything but plain. Those doe eyes of hers make me feel like she can see straight into my soul. I catch myself almost shivering when she looks at me for long amounts of time.I have tried my hardest to not come off as a sexually frustrated idiot around her but to be honest it is getting harder to not make a move on her. I know that she was saving herself for her mate, a name which I still have no idea why we use it. I also know that she was tempted to give her first time away to that man. All of this leads me to have no clue what she wants right now.“What has you thinking s

CoraThe next morning I found myself waking up surrounded by warmth. There was an arm wrapped tightly around my waist and I was laying on top of Thomas. I mean literally on top of I’m. My face was pressed into his neck as he held me as close to him as possible. I took a moment to just soak in the feeling of this. I know that I am falling in love with him fast. The beat of his heart is giving me a calming sensation that I have never known. He is my peace.“So how long do you plan to lay on me and tempt me?” I feel him adjusting under me and that is when I notice that he is very excited to be beneath me. I lift my head and look him in the eyes knowing that I am blushing but I want to move past that. I roll my hips slightly and kiss him on his neck.“I think I am ready to move now that I got to feel you.” I giggle and jump up before he has the chance to hold me still. I turn and look as see his face is one of lust and loss. I smile and

CoraBy the end of Rebecca’s course in “love,” I was as red as humanly possible. She covered everything from A to Z and to be honest there was a lot to learn. No one in my life has ever been that open with me about what sex is and how it relates to love. I learned that sex without love is something that I am glad I never experienced. The way she describes her and Elliot’s love life made me see that I did make the right choice in not sleeping with someone just for the sake of getting to choose who it was.“Rebecca I know I may look super embarrassed, which I am, but thank you for talking to me. I grew up with two wildly different sets of couples in my life. The sad thing is that neither talked about that part of life with me.” She looks at me with a soft look in her eyes, like one a big sister would give to the younger sister when she is giving advice.“I will always be here for you Cora. In a little over a day, you have

ThomasFrom the look on her face, I have no idea what to say. She gives nothing away in her gaze. Is she pissed, hurt or is she in shock? I go to wipe the lipstick off my cheek and see that it isn’t wanting to come off. I start to panic as Elliot and Rebecca walk into the room. They both stop and look from me to Cora who is standing still and with no expression on her face. My panic starts to rise even more when I suddenly hear a giggle. I turn and look at Cora who is starting to bend over at the waist laughing.“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it in anymore.” She keeps laughing and I see Rebecca is doing the same. Elliot looks at them and then looks at me in the silent question of what in the world is going on.“Wait your not mad at me?” I ask finally getting most of the lipstick from hell off my face.“No. Why would I be?” She tries to dry the tears she has from laughing so hard.“Well maybe because someone else kissed me and I didn’t tell you.” I can feel

Cora“Well Thomas, I am all yours. What are you going to do with me?”As soon as the question left my lips the smirk came back to his face. He was enjoying the show and he had every intention of claiming his prize. He took his fingers and placed them in the waistband of his briefs and pulled them down. What I saw was the most amazing sight I have ever seen in my whole life.This man could only be described as a man built to be the image of what a god should look like. His body was muscled hard everywhere you looked. I took in his body from top to bottom. I make my way down until I see the impressive length that is standing at full attention. I will be honest that I don’t have much to compare it to but I have accidentally seen a few over the years and I have to say I have never seen anything like this. I study him as if he were a statue on display for my personal viewing. He was long and wide with pulsing veins showing the train that he was unde

CoraI awake the next morning to the sunlight peeking its way through the curtains. I feel Thomas’s heat wrapped around me like I am a butterfly in a cocoon. His shallow breathes hit the back of my head and I smile to myself knowing that he is exhausted from last night.I look over at the clock to see that it is past ten in the morning and find myself panicking thinking that we have overslept and are going to be late. I turn in his arms and try to wake him.“Thomas. Thomas. We are late. Please wake up.” I feel him stir and I can tell that he is fighting to go back to sleep. I continue my assault on him to wake up when I notice that he is grinning that mischievous grin that he sometimes gets. This man is enjoying man panic!I start to pull myself from his arms when he wraps them tighter around me and chuckles. His eyes open and I see the sparkle in them showing that he is having fun at my expense.“Baby it’s the weekend

ThomasAfter hours of debating the plan finally fell into place. Cora and I are to continue to lead on Michael and Megan getting them to trust us as much as possible before we leave for our trip. The problem is going to be keeping them from trying to get to physical. I know that I can handle myself but I am worried that Michael may get too rough on Cora. The man has some issues with losing and I think that is exactly what he thinks is happening with Cora. He wants to win and she is the ticket for him to do just that.We currently have three days until we leave for our trip. Cora and Rebecca are finishing up with gathering up all the information that we will need to start finding out what is going on in the villages. Elliot is working on making sure we have all sorts of tech that will help us to gather and record what is happening so that I can once and for all change what is happing in this world.I am sitting at my desk when my door opens and Megan walks in.
