Helanie:
"So what did he say?" I had walked out of the room after he turned me on. It was the weirdest moment I had shared with him. I liked it because his full attention was on me. But I wasn’t sure what he meant by ’it was going to be a long day.’
"I told her what Azura told me." I didn’t know Emmet had come out as well. I had fixed my dress, but the awkwardness stayed.
"What did you tell her?" Norman stepped forward to get the info from him.
We were still in the hallway when Norman and Maximus stopped me midway to question me. I was kind of hoping they had gone to bed, because I was so horny coming out of Emmet’s room that I felt weird having a normal conversation with them.
"Azura said that the evil father captured her and kept her in a place that looked more like underground," Emmet stopped right beside me, probably on purpose, because now I could smell his cologne so clearly.
I sniffled hard and let out a breath when he pulled his hands out of his pockets, but his right hand hit my butt. I jumped, and he added, "Sorry, by accident." It was a lie. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Norman and Maximus looked confused, more focused on the info they were getting.
"So the organization is underground?" Maximus asked, rubbing his chin.
"What if they get their hands on Kaye—" I almost yelped when I felt a hand on my ass. It was much darker in the hallway this time. And with Maximus holding a big file between us where he was adding details, and Norman focused on the papers, Emmet had found a way to mess with me.
His hand gently squeezed my ass and I bit my tongue.
His hand played around more, then he went a step further by lifting my dress. I quickly turned my head to look at him, we would get caught if he didn’t stop. I know the others wouldn’t call me a cheater or anything, but I’d be so embarrassed doing all that while we were talking about something serious.
"That’s what I’ve been thinking too. Not that they’ll get their hands on Kaye," Norman stepped back from the file and came over to me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder as Emmet stepped away.
"But what if Kaye comes over? I brought the family in so he knows there are others around who can fight too, but then I wonder what if he still gets to you?" Norman said carefully, not meeting Emmet’s eyes. I noticed he hadn’t really spoken to Emmet since his first talk with Azura. I’m guessing it was because Emmet once accused him of killing Azura.
"So I’m guessing you’ve already come up with a plan for that too?" Maximus asked, and Norman nodded.
"A lot has been happening. It’s been one full moon after another, and Helanie is suffering. She’s working hard to free us from our curse and pain, so I believe she deserves some rest too," Norman gave me a smile while wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pulling me closer.
