Emory

Chapter 15

“Where are we going?” I ask once we are away from the Core and headed into the forest again.

"We have to get word to Jax.” He answers, but I get the feeling he’s talking more to himself than me. “Then we will get The King." He said the last part through his teeth. He stops walking and starts pacing back and forth, his hands and clenching and unclenching his fists.

If we reach th' Elms afair twilecht we will be able tae sleep there tonecht. Hopefully get in by early dusk. th' King shoods be at th' top, sae it will be quite a climb. Ah hope Emorae will be able tae keep up… I hear him Whisper. Oblivious to me being able to hear him! This is GREAT! The tables have turned Kye! His accent is much deeper and gruffer in his thoughts. It is hands down the sexiest thing I have ever heard.

I hear a hint of a laugh from him then but he keeps on pacing and thinking. I don't want to sound like a brat so I keep my mouth closed about Juliet. For now. What could be more important to him than finding his King?

"We will get her out Emorae. I swear she is not being harmed where she is."

I nod my head though he doesn't see.

"Do you know how to get to the King?" I finally ask after his tense pacing hasn't slowed. I don’t want to be here forever for Pete’s sake.

He stops in his tracks and swings his head around to give me this amused look.

"Seriously!? Is there anything you can't hear me say in my head?"

He puts his hand up over his mouth, trying to hide his smile. Are those dimples in his cheeks? Oh God please let them be dimples.

Then he drops his hand and gives me a 1000 watt smile with one full dimple in each cheek. Damn I want to kiss him.

Right when the thought enters my head I immediately hide my face in my hands, "I'm going to die of embarrassment by the end of the day."

I feel his rough hands grab my wrists and pull them away from my face. I look up to his face and see his dark eyes smiling down at me. Releasing my hands he bring one up to cup my neck, letting his thumb trace along my jawline. His other hand grips my hip and plays with the fabric of my pants there. I can’t help the smile that grows across my face, knowing that he is about to kiss me. I bet it’s even better than the first time.

He pulls me against his body and our lips crash into each other without hesitation of either of our parts. I can feel him from my head to my toes and all I want is to be closer. I wrap my arms around his neck melt further into him. He backs me up until I feel something hit the back of my legs. The sudden break in the kiss confuses me and I almost whimper and the loss. Kye swiftly reaches down and lifts me up by my thighs and places me on the rock that was behind me which brings me up to his level. My hands still tangled in his hair at the back of his neck and his roughly gripping my clothes. His hands feel like fire when he finds the bit of skin that is exposed around my hips. Our ragged breathing is the only sound as we stare at each other while we both catch our breath.

“Wow” I finally manage to say. “Can we do that again?”

He takes a deep breath through his nose and presses his forehead to mine. “We’ve got tae keep movin’ if we are tae get tae shelter by Sun down.”

I can only nod my head but don’t move. I don’t know if I want to move. With his hard body standing between my legs and our hands still slowly roaming over each others skin I can’t imagine breaking this moment.

It’s not till Milo abruptly pops out of Kye’s satchels and jumps over to my shoulder that our moment has come to a sad ending, but I can tell that Kye is just as hot and bothered as I am.
