Eli
I pull up to my cabin in the woods and I'm surprised to see Bailey standing there in the rain, I immediately grab my umbrella and make my way out "What are you doing here?" I ask as I shield her from the rain with the umbrella.
Her bottom lip quivers and I think it's because of the cold but then I notice how red her eyes are "I had nowhere else to go, Eli."
My chest aches at the absolute despair on her face and hurt in her voice, without saying a word I pick her up before carrying her inside the cabin. "Let's get you warmed up."
She doesn't say anything as I drop her inside the bathroom before turning the shower on and I say "I'll get you something to wear."
Still no word from her as I head into the bedroom and grab her a pair of my boxer briefs, socks, sweatpants and sweatshirt. I head back to the bathroom to find her in the shower, just standing under the stream of water and if it was any other day then I would be admiring her naked body. But not today.
I close the door behind me when I walk out before heading to the living room and sending Maya a text 'Bailey is at my cabin. Now is the perfect time.'
A moment later her reply comes 'I have an important meeting in five minutes and I can't skip it.'
I scoff as I type out 'She walked straight into our hands, we won't get another opportunity like this'
'Just keep her there until I'm finished and besides we need to wait until the moon is out for the ritual.'
I hear the shower water stop running and I text back 'Fine, tonight then'
I put my phone on the coffee table and a while later the bathroom door opens and Bailey comes out looking like she's being swallowed by my clothes.
"Feeling better?" I ask as she takes a seat on the couch
"No."
A lump forms in my throat and I turn to the fireplace, piling wood up to make a fire that could keep her warm but before I can light it up, it lights up on it's own and I turn to Bailey "You?"
She nods "Yeah."
I take a seat next to her on the couch "What's wrong, angel?"
She scoffs "The audacity of you to call me that after you left me then ignored me for almost two weeks."
My heart is weighed down because I know I hurt her deeply "I'm sorry for causing you pain, Bailey but please talk to me I can see something is bothering."
She stares at the fire in silence before blurting "Mr Robinson is my father." I stare at her dumbfounded but let her continue "It turns out he was dating my mom years ago and apparently she ran away with me."
"I see and did you tell him?"
She nods as tears well up in her tears "He wants nothing to do with me."
"Oh, baby." I bring her to my chest and close my eyes as I practically feel her heartbreak "I'm so sorry."
"He called me the devil's spawn, Eli."
A frown tugs at the corner of my lips as I gently cup her face to make her look at me "You are no such thing. You Bailey Harper is nothing but an angel."
She blinks her tears away "You think so?"
"I know so."
She sighs "I should probably be upfront and tell you that it's true about our mothers, they did in fact do sacrificial rituals." I stiffen immediately but she continues speaking like she didn't notice "And the person who put the curse on them was the dean. I just needed you to know the truth, Eli even though it's not something you want to hear." She grabs my hands that's still holding her face "My mom may have done harm to others but she was the best mom. And I bet yours was the same."
She looks at me like she's afraid for my reaction and I feel terrible for how mean I was to her that night by the waterfall. None of this is her fault, I nod "I hear you."
She blinks "So you're okay?"
"I'm okay." I agree "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay."
I tuck her wet hair behind her ear "I'm sorry for how I acted when you told me everything, it was wrong of me to take my anger at the situation out on you."
She nods "Don't do it again, because you really hurt me."
My heart clench "I'm so sorry, angel." I rub my thumb back and forth over her cheek and suddenly something dawns on me "How did you get here?"
"Oh I walked."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise "You walked all the way from campus in the rain until here?" When she nods in confirmation, I ask "How did you exist the barrier?"
"I made a potion that makes me unidentifiable if I leave the barrier."
I scoff a laugh "I'm impressed."
"You should be." She gives me a small smile and I didn't realise how much I missed it, missed her until now.
Her smile slowly fades away as her eyes land on my lips and I'm not sure which of us moved first but next thing I know is we're kissing. I grab a fist full of her hair as I deepen the kiss because fuck it, I missed this. I'm a bit surprised when she straddles me but I couldn't care less as I continue to explore her mouth and a hint of possessive goes through me when I smell myself on her and I groan into the kiss as I feel her tongue brush against mine. She breaks the kiss to whisper in my ear "Take me."
My heart rate picks up "Are you sure?"
"I've never been more sure about anything else." She pulls my bottom lip between her teeth "I'm thirsty and ready for beverage, Eli."
Without needing to be told twice, I stand up with her and press open mouth kisses to her neck as I walk to the bedroom before laying her down on the bed and I move to the bedside drawer taking out a condom "Leave it."
My head snaps to her so fast I almost get whiplash "What?"
She sits up "I don't want anything between us, Eli. I want to feel you." I swallow, suddenly feeling nervous because I've never gone raw with anyone before "Are you clean?"
I nod "I am."
"Good because I'm clean too and I'm on the pill."
I stare at her as she stares right back at me and I know without a doubt that she wouldn't do something I didn't want to, if I told her I wanted to use a condom then she would. But the thought of fucking her without anything between us and cumming inside of her makes my cock painfully hard.
"Fuck it." I growl before moving back to her on the bed and she lets out a happy giggle that makes a flutter feeling appear in my stomach that I never felt before.
Surely it can't be butterflies, right?
"I'm going to make you feel so good" I whisper in her ear before giving it a playful bit and sucking on her neck "Do you want me?"
"Yes, so badly."
"Say it." I demand as I look at her "Say you want my cock in your pussy and I might just give it to you for being such a good girl."
Her eyes widen like she can't fathom that I just said that and a blush makes it way to her cheeks but she doesn't back down as she continues staring up at me and say "I want your…cock in my pussy."
I hum in approval "That's my girl."
And I give her exactly that.
