Lori huffed with a shake of her head, but there was little she could do to stop a small smirk from curling at the corner of her lips as he lifted her. She'd allow him to, not only because her limbs still ached but because she found she actually enjoyed the feeling of being cradled against his...

Lori let him pull her to him and sighed, her body intertwined with his as she rested her head against his chest. She traced circles on his skin with her fingertips, trying to savor every moment they had left together. The weight of the impending separation hung heavy in the air, and she could...

He knew she was right. He was a General, a soldier, he got it. She would never be more than what she was, but it had taken everything to get there and her skills had at least earned her some thin notion of tolerance in the camps. She stopped thinking about any of that when he stood with such...

"Of course I'll be safer here.. But, what do you expect me to do? Learn to read and write and bake?" her brow quirked. "That's not me.. I didn't spend all this time working this hard to be safe.. I'll never be more than a soldier, but at least I proved that I can be as good or better than they...

Lori let out a quiet laugh and shook her head. "I have never disobeyed an order in my life.." she murmured. That was just suicide. "But we both know this has nothing to do with the mission that I was assigned to accompany you on." her lips twisted. She looked up at him, her brow furrowing...

Lori huffed out a laugh and rolled over onto his chest, her chin resting atop her folded arms as she smirked at him. "I mean, tomorrow..." her brow furrowed and the smirk she wore faltered. "I need to go back, and you're the General.." her head tilted. "I don't know how this works.." she...

She didn't care about hiding her scars from him, just as she didn't bother hiding exactly what she felt. Emotions poured out of her in waves, even now as she lay against his chest, her eyes drifting drowsily as she drew small circles on his skin. That, had been like nothing she'd ever felt...

All caution she had felt was most definitely thrown to the wind. It was impossible to believe that this was anything but right, that the two were quite literally made to find the other and that now balance had been restored. A wave of inevitability washed over her as he lifted her clean off her...

Tell him to stop... Two halves of her mind battled on as she stared at him in stunned silence, her heavy breaths trembling from her lips. She could stop this now and it would break him, but allowing this to go any further, accepting it, meant there was no turning back. She had known it for a...

She felt the pain she caused him and she flinched at the sudden guilt that wrapped itself around her throat. She stared at him as he approached her, her jaw set as once again she half expected the General to lash out at her as so many males had done before, but she wouldn't back away. Lori's...

There was a brief pause in the stubborn glower on her face, a fleeting flash of something like fear as he answered her in that growl. Her gaze fell to the clenching fists he held at his sides, and she had braced herself for violence but not for what he said next. That she was everything he...

Her eyes gave a slow, drowsy blink as he combed fingers into her hair, as she let her guard fall and felt herself drown in everything. Those eyes, the timbre of his voice, the scent of him.. the compliments. She'd already started to melt as he drew closer, her eyes on his lips.. 'Even if you...

She sensed the anger and took a half step back, her shoulders tensing as he reached for her. She half expected his hand to wrap around her throat, but the touch reminded her, that he wasn’t what she expected. She suppressed a shudder and allowed her gaze to connect with his, and her tension...

She glanced at him dubiously as he held it for her, and gave it a light jab with the staff first of all. She'd been about to give it another slightly harder hit when his question made her pause. Nobody had ever asked her anything like that before. If she could be anything?.. "Male?" she...

"Oh.." her brows rose as she took the staff from him, her gaze wandering over the things she was invited to smash. She knew if she got started in that room, she'd never stop, and she wasn't sure she was ready for him to see the true rage she held.. Or for herself to see for that matter. She...
