Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.
Before anyone could say another word ,I quickly walked out and headed to my room.
What I saw there made my feet come to an immediate halt, Austin was sprawled out on the bed , fast asleep.
He was beautiful when he slept ,now that his eyes weren’t open and watching me I could study his features properly.He had tousled thick dark brown hair, a strand falling on his forehead gracefully ,I wanted more than anything to reach over and touch it.His face was strong and defined with a sharp jawline.His skin slightly tanned to give the perfect complexion ,my eyes moved to study his lips,they were a perfect deep red and I couldn’t even control my own emotions as I moved closer to study them,wondering what it would feel like to have those lips on mine.I was so close to him now that I could hear and feel his hot breath on my skin ,so close that his pure masculine scent was once again pulling me in, leaving me feeling as though I was intoxicated .
I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, God that scent made me weak to my knees.I slowly opened my eyes and gasped in shock, his eyes were no longer closed but staring straight back at me!
My lips parted at the blatant need I saw there, hot raw need deep in his eyes.
My knees suddenly felt weak and I was grateful that they were pressed down onto the bed, preventing me from falling.
Austin leaned even closer, I slowly placed my palms gently on his chest for balance, his breath hitched at the contact. He was all heavenly man beneath my fingers, his muscles hard and leaping at my touch. How I ached to run my hands all over them, I hated that there was clothing between us.
Where were these thoughts coming from?
He leaned forward, his breath fanning my neck and without warning kissed the spot right beneath my ear, I m****d, my body feeling like it suddenly came alive for the first time since my existence.
Austin immediately pulled away from me , seeming to wake from whatever trance he was in ,he stared at me with hate in his eyes.Without a single word he rose up from the bed and stormed out the room.
I fell back against the bed and fought the urge to let out a scream against the pillows.What on earth was wrong with me?My body was hot all over , writhing with a need and thirst I knew deep down that only Austin could quench .
I hated this.
…
I walked into the kitchen area the next morning ,everyone was already seated and having breakfast , everyone except Austin again.Did he not spend time with his family or was it that he didn’t like being around me?
“Good morning Lucy.”Austin’s parents greeted me with a warm smile.
“How are you feeling this morning?”Maya asked.
“She’s glowing this morning if you ask me, it looks like Austin did his part as her husband last night .”Lucas commented with a wink sent in my direction .
I felt a blush creep up to my cheeks at his words.
Maya rolled her eyes.”Ignore him Lucy, everything that comes out his mouth somehow is always connected to s*x.”
The queen coughed and glared at her children.”Can’t we ever have a meal like a normal family?’
Lucas raised his hands up in defense.”I don’t know what Maya is talking about mother,I was just pointing out that Austin took care of his wife last night , probably gave her a nice massage or something ,it’s Maya who mentioned the s*x.”
“Enough.”The king warned.”Don’t make this breakfast uncomfortable for Lucy.”
Maya took a sip of water before turning to me.”Have James introduced himself to you as yet?”
“James?”I asked confused.
Maya shook her head in disappointment .”That jackass, James is my next brother.I honestly thought he would have introduced himself to you by now.”
“Don’t take his actions personally Lucy, he’s not a very social person ,he spends most of his time alone and doesn’t let others into his life easily .”The queen informed me before taking a bite of her salad.
“Speaking of James, where is he this morning?”Lucas inquired .
The king stiffened at that question.”We’ve gotten word of some unwanted guests around the village lately, some villagers have reported seeing them to us .Austin and James left earlier this morning to see if it were true .”
“And if it is true?”Maya asked.
The king shrugged.”They’ll warn them that they aren’t allowed here and if that doesn’t work we would have to use different methods until they are gone.”
“Those fools really left without me?”Lucas demanded.
“Well after you cause trouble anywhere you go, they were actually smart to leave you home.”Maya teased.
“I pray for the poor soul that has to marry you one day.”Lucas mumbled .
While the siblings continued their bickering ,my mind begun to stray.
Who were these unwanted guests?Were they dangerous?The king definitely seemed unhappy with the possibility of having them around the kingdom.Could Austin be in danger?
That last thought made me uneasy and I couldn’t stop myself from asking.”Do these unwanted guests pose a threat to the kingdom?”
The king looked taken aback by my question.”not so much a threat Lucy but they are untrustworthy people , we had a close alliance with that family once but they broke our trust and since then they were banned from entering our kingdom.They’ve never tried to make contact before so it may just be someone spreading rumors , they wouldn’t dare step foot into our kingdom knowing what would follow if they did.”
“Wait , are you speaking about the fire Cross Pack?” Maya inquired , her eyes widening by the warning look everyone gave her.
