Zodiac Academy: The Big A.S.S. Party

"I say we dig a big hole and bury her in it," Seth suggested before turning and licking the icing off of Caleb’s cheek which earned him a half-hearted punch to the ribs.

"She's got earth magic too, genius, she'd just escape," I pointed out.

"I never said bury her alive," he said, waggling his eyebrows like an idiot.

"When?" I demanded.

"After graduation," she replied, raising her chin. "It will be a grand ceremony during the summer. A show of power just the same as Darius's marriage to Mildred."

I nodded once, biting my tongue on screaming about how fucked up everything she'd just said was. "So give me that time," I said. "Two years. Two years of you and me to fuck and fight and fall in love and be all the things we won't be able to be once you walk down that aisle. Give me that time to try and convince you that that life isn't what you really want. We don't ever have to talk politics, we don't even have to tell anyone if you don't want to. Just let it be me and you, at least for a little while."

"I..." She stared at me like she desperately wanted to say yes but was afraid of doing so.

"Think about it," I said, biting my tongue on trying to force her hand. "I'll be waiting."

I walked away from her with a weight in my chest and fire in my soul. I was going to convince her to say yes to my proposal. And then I was going to spend those two years making her fall for me so hard that there would be no way in hell that she could ever give me up.

Either that or I was setting myself up to have my heart ripped from my chest and crushed before my eyes.

But she was worth the risk. So I was going to take it.

"My poor boys, the two of you are looking decidedly morose," she cooed.

"Boys?" I lurched upright, wondering how drunk I'd been last night, but it didn't matter, there was no way in hell I'd have let any other Fae join this party. Geraldine Grus was all mine.

"Yes, silly salmon," Geraldine purred as she leaned forward to place a kiss on my lips. "Big Maxy boy and little Maxy boy." She dropped down to kiss my cock next and I growled hungrily for her as she stayed like that with her head in my lap, kissing, licking, driving me fucking insane as I waited to see if she was really going to do what she was dancing around or not
