“Finish that sentence the wrong way, and I will punch you,” Jonas says softly.
“Let’s take the rest of this to go and hit up the gym.” I sigh. The last thing I need is for them to beat each other up in this restaurant. Their tacos are too good to get banned.
“I wasn’t going to be rude or anything,” Ash grumbles. “She’s a girl, who is younger than you are. I don’t know how you have anything in common.”
“Oh,” I scoff. “That’s easy. I spent our entire honeymoon between her legs or speaking to her. Chastity is smart and I could talk to her forever. If you spend any time with her, you’d see that.”
Paying the bill, I flag down the waitress for some boxes. I think I’ll definitely join them in the gym, even though I’m tired. The thought that Ash could think of Chastity as just some pussy bothers me. There’s no one in the world like her. She’s my angel.
CHASTITY
Levi had already left before I woke up this morning. I didn't sleep well. My nightmares are getting worse, and I think I might need to find someone to talk to. Tempest has a lot going on and she doesn’t need my trauma.
I know she would move Heaven and Earth to help me, but I think I need someone professional, in a safe environment.
I grab my phone off the nightside table and check my messages. Bast sent me a cute meme, and Levi asked me to meet him in his office before class.
Kicking the blankets off, I climb off the bed and stretch. My muscles ache, but in a very satisfying way. My husband is insatiable, and I kinda love it.
I walk over to the closet and pull out my uniform. I haven't worn one of these in a while, and honestly, I didn't miss it.
Moving over to the bathroom, I quickly shower and dry off. I wonder what Levi needs to talk to me about. He got in late last night after sparring with the guys.
I was exhausted, and after a quick shower, he climbed into bed, snuggled me, and we went to sleep.
Plugging my straightener in, I take time on my hair and makeup. Nothing extreme, but I don't want people to notice the bags under my eyes or the dark circles.
Bridget and Monique will find any flaw to expose and tease me about. I just want to have an easy first day back. It's bad enough people will hound me about why and how Father Levi became my husband.
I wish Tempest was still able to take lessons, not that she was ever in my classes, but we could still see each other in the halls.
Gym class is going to be the absolute worst. I'm not ashamed of my scars. It was a moment of weakness, but it also was my wake up call, and now things are better.
I have men who love me, and we're working on a plan to get my baby back. I don't want to say things are perfect because it's far from… but for now, things are good.
I'm still just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
When I'm ready to leave, I find a banana and a protein shake ready and waiting for me on the counter. I smile and peel my banana.
He's too sweet, and I'm so thankful he came into my life when he did. I know our relationship isn't conventional, but that's okay. I love him, and he will do anything and everything to keep me safe.
Leaving the apartment, I'm surprised to find Jonas there waiting for me.
“Good morning, Beautiful,” he says, before giving my cheek a quick kiss. I know I'm blushing when he pulls back and takes my hand, lightly touching the ring him and the other guys gave to me.
“Hi,” I say softly, then clear my throat. “Why didn't you knock?” I can't help but ask. I mean, how long has he been waiting for me out here?
“I just arrived. I was going to when I heard footsteps behind the door,” he explains and I nod.
“Oh, well next time, I think you could just come in. Didn't Levi give you a key? I know he mentioned making some extras for us all,” I mumble and he shakes his head.
“I don't have one yet. Maybe he's waiting until after our final trial.”
“Hmm, I don't think that matters to him. I know it doesn't to me. You guys are my family. Even if, for some reason, you don't become members,” I whisper, glancing around.
The halls are empty, but the stone walls tend to echo. One of the disadvantages to living in an old monastery.
Jonas stops walking and moves in front of me. He's smiling, and when he reaches out to touch my cheek, I close my eyes and melt into his palm.
