I haven’t been able to leave Verena’s side. She’s not aware there’s a third trying to weasel their way into our relationship and won’t take the hint that three is a fucking crowd and they aren’t wanted here. But I have been her shield and shadow whether she’s aware of it or not. I’ve skipped my classes and meetings this week in fear of someone getting to her the moment I took my eyes off her. I saw how that worked out with Emmett and I’ll be damned if any one of us have to go through that fear and turmoil again.
My phone vibrates in my pocket and I retrieve it to see my little monster’s contact lighting up my screen.
Verena
I miss you. Wish I was in your arms and not in class.
Me
Miss you more. Can’t wait to kiss you.
Verena
Yes, please! Kiss me to deathhh
Me
I’d love nothing more than that. Maybe choke you a little, rail you good, and then hold you gently in my arms before I kiss you to death.
Verena
That idea sounds like a 10/10. I’m in class until 4:30. Pick me up and we can walk over to my place. No one will be home this afternoon so we have the whole place to ourselves. After we have Mom and Dad time, we can have a family snuggle date.
My dick jerk in my jeans at her mention of family. The four of us create the only true family I’ve ever known. The only family to spark consistent joy in my life. The family I want to keep forever, same from pain and the evils of the world. The organ in my chest is sprung at the idea of a family snuggle date, but her referring to us as Mom and Dad did something else to me entirely.
I want nothing more than to worship her every inch, thank every god for her presence, her heart, and her soul.
With the anxiety in my chest growing, knowing I’d be with her soon, I confirm our date and take a deep breath, attempting to shove any negative thoughts out of my mind. I’d ask Eli for his help and we would figure it out together. I’ll do everything possible to keep Verena out of harm’s way. I’ll get all the answers I’m looking for even if I regret ever knowing.
