I’ll do all I can to make her feel safe in the meantime.
“You’re wrong, you know,” Sage eventually whispers, resting her head on my shoulder while I play with her pink hair.
“I’m never wrong,” I joke, nudging her head playfully with my shoulder.
Sage chuckles, and it warms my heart to hear her laugh again. “We do belong in the shadows, Vina, and the Light Fae bitch Eva has no idea what she has coming her way.”
I grin, resting my head on hers. “There’s my best friend.”
“How is she?” Willow demands, making me almost jump as she steps out of the shadows of the corridor. I’ve just left Sage’s room after a long day together, where she mostly cried and I mostly promised to burn any fae that touched her. Bumping into Willow Greene is the last thing I need right now.
“Sage is coping,” I reply, wondering why she even gives a fuck.
Willow clicks her tongue and shakes her head. “I meant my sister! I want to know how Izora is.”
Raising an eyebrow, I step closer. “You actually give a shit about her now?”
Willow surprises me when she looks down, shuffling her feet. “I fucked up at being a sister, and well, most things when it comes to family. The world is fucking ending around us, and it made me realise I should fight for my family. So tell me how Izora is and what the plan is to get her back?”
“Izora is my sister now, too, funnily enough,” I tell her, and she laughs until she sees I’m dead serious. “You can ask your mum for the deets on that. As for Izora…she looked messed up when I saw her. Eva is using her, and if you really want to help free her, you should rest and train.”
“I will train this whole academy if you need it, Your Majesty,” Willow says and holds her hand out. “Truce?”
I eye her hand with caution for a moment before taking it. “If you fuck me over, Willow, I will cut all your hair off and then kill you, so you die an ugly, bald bitch. That’s your one and only warning.”
I smile sweetly as I let her hand go and walk past her. I’m finally feeling more like myself now that I’ve seen Sage. It’s like she’s given me that extra push I needed to face the world again. However, I can’t help but notice how quiet the academy is as I make my way down the maze of corridors and empty stairwells. I guess it makes sense since everyone is preparing to fight off ancient Titans. Shaking my head, I walk up to Gage’s open office door. I enter, quietly shutting the door behind me.
“Is the therapist open for a session?” I ask, my back leaning against the closed door.
Gage grins, resting a hip against his desk. “Always for my favourite student,” he teases. I laugh and walk over to him, wrapping my arms around his torso. Gage rests his head on mine. “In all seriousness, do you need to talk?”
“No,” I admit, leaning back to look at him. I press my lips to his mouth, and he kisses me back with just as much as passion. He lifts me, carrying me over to his couch. Placing me on my back, he covers my body with his. Never once breaking our kiss.
The world can burn around us, but every kiss makes me forget it.
The fae, the gods, the world, can all wait.
Gage trails his amazing lips down my jaw as his hand cups my breast. I rub myself against his knee, causing a throaty moan to escape my lips. Tugging my shirt up and over my head, Gage leans back, staring at me with so much desire it makes me blush.
“Can I make you come, Vina?” he softly asks me. Damn, hell, yes. I can only nod, and he scoots back on the sofa. Tugging down my jeans until I can kick them off, taking my panties with them.
Gage doesn’t tease or make me wait before he is in between my legs and my back arches as his tongue swirls around my clit. Holy Fucking Selena. Gage chuckles against my clit as I moan, he reaches up, placing his hand over my mouth, reminding me to be quiet. For whatever reason, it just turns me on more. Within minutes, I come with a blinding pleasure that sends shakes through my body. Gage picks me up, placing me on his lap and holding
