GoodRead"My name?" he whispered, staring at me.
"Your true name... yes." Letting the information slowly sink in, he nodded his head before wrapping his arms around my waist, pullingclosely. "I'm sorry that I acted a little weird." "A little weird?" I teased playfully, letting a small giggle escape my lips.
"OK, maybe I was acting a little weird, but Ivy, you scared the shit out of me. I was literally a passenger in my own mind. You can't do stuff like that." There was seriousness in what James said, and I felt guilty. At the stime, though, I didn't feel guilty. It was a complicated feeling I didn't understand but knew eventually I would.

Looking up at him, batting my eyelashes, I sought forgiveness, and, of course, the puppy dog look I gave him instantly melted as he pulledcloser, kissinggently. "You know, I can't be upset with you, and last night was absolutely amazing. I mean, we've had a lot of amazing sex, but last night it was almost electrifying." That was not a word I had thought to describe what had happened, but with the rush of sexual tension and power flowing around his room last night, one could almost assthat I had been electrifying.
"Hmm... I never really thought about it, calling it electrifying. But perhaps the next twe have fun, it could be a lot more intense." Placing my lips against his once more, I bit playfully before turning round and sashaying my happy ass back inside the house. James was a complicated man. Once upon a the had been a complete ladies' man looking to take whatever woman looked appealing to him. That was until he met me, and in a way, I turned his life upside down.
I turned him from the town playboy into a gentle family man who only thought of others, and what he could do for them. I knew he would be the perfect father as the years went on, and honestly, I couldn't wait to have more children with him.
He was perfect in every way... even if he got spooked easily.
James just wasn't expecting things to turn out the way they have with us, I suppose, which does honestly make a lot of sense because I don't think anybody normally would have been able to comprehend what the fuck we had going on.
Making my way inside, I passed through the kitchen towards the living room, where Hale and Talon sat talking with Kate. I had gone off the day before on them when they had done what they did and I felt guilty because I could have handled it Better.
I could see now they were trying to protectand bless their hearts for thinking that putting a binding spell on the house would keeplocked in it.
Now that my warriors were awakened, breaking from this place would be a lot easier. I simply needed a few more things.

But getting Damien was the problem. Once I broke the barrier, I would have to find a way to surpass everything the Council was doing and the darkness hiding behind them.
"Hey guys. What are you up to?" I asked as I stood by the opening to the living room, watching. Their eyes turned towith curiosity. "Not much," Kate sighed as she gavea small smile of reassurance. "Angel went back out past the border to see if he could make hist
way to getting another audience with the council, but they turned himm away, saying that they had business elsewhere and that they wouldn't be available for a few weeks."
Business elsewhere? I thought to myself as I tried to comprehend what m she was saying. What kindof business could the Council have that they would refuse an audience? There were always elder members there, so it didn't make any sense. X
