The thought sends an uninvited shiver racing down“Everyone’s going to hate ood I never gaveto be so huive ain?”
“Hey” Taylen takes o into a full-onclose already He pulls , warm chest
I inhale a lungful of his lovely ne he wears, what deodorant he uses, and even what kind of shae it up ht it all for hiood It s I’redients and scents like a connoisseur, but I do ser scent because he always puts toohim that he doesn’t need so le load Two! Seriously His clothing is never even that dirty
His huge hand slides over my noilted curls He tucks one behind ain This time, it stays
“No one is going to hate you,” Taylen says in deep, cal You need to take a breath Everything is going to be fine Your parents love you, and they’ll understand You just needed to do soet them to listen And there’s no way you would have et I wouldn’t have let you You’re too…too vivacious and wonderful to get stuck with a boring Neanderthal like him”
Taylen tilts ine hi ht ca about what they’d feel like It makes me hot, and my core suddenly feels achy and shivery
It’s been like six ot laid because I never had sex with Henry Not Once Even though we’ve been ‘dating’ forever My lacking love life has clearlyit to short circuit my brain
“Everything’s going to be fine,” he proht in the eye That’s why he tilted my face up It’s because he wanted me to see that he means it, and I should believe it
I want to ask hih trouble for one day, so I choke back the words and just nod like I genuinely believe it’s all going to be okay
Even though I’m still not sure that I do

Just saying
We’re never going to do the friends with benefits thing I love Elodie tooher like that It would just s Besides, I’m not attracted to her, and the love I have for her is the safest kind of love It’s the kind of love nurtured over a lifetis and is at zero risks of being mucked up by the curse
Despite knowing all that in the brief spans of being awake, I still dream about the brooch
In the drea dress, but it’s not the ugly one fro about her lush body and hugging her lovely curves We’re in a field of wildflowers, just her anda suit Dreams are funny like that since I can’t really tell Her dress, though, I can go on and on about it
The wind blows softly, ruffling the gauzy white fabric, swirling it around her gently, and pressing it against her curvy hips, the sleek contours of her long legs, her flat belly, and the swell of her breasts The dress dives down daringly low there, plunging between her gorgeous orbs and revealing a tantalizing V of creales to the side, and I can see how shapely her ass is underneath the fabric since the wind is blowing it tight against her posterior
