HERE IS HATED LOVE PART 2, IT MAY TAKE ME LONGER TO POST BECAUSE I WANT TO TRY AND POST MULTIPLE CHAPTERS AT ONCE OTHER THAN ONE AT A TIME SO ONCE AGAIN PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME! THANK YOU! ^_^ (THERE IS BAD LANGUAGE IN THIS STORY AND SOMEWHAT SEXUAL CONTENT.)
A year had passed since June returned to the Thieves Guild, she was just returning to Riften with Brynjolf from a contract job. "Think he'll sell?" June asked as she put a strand of hair behind her ear. June's hair was much longer now, it reached to the middle of her back. She kept it up in a high pony tail but she left some strands of her bangs down. "If he's smart he will." Brynjolf replied as he looked around.
It was middle of the afternoon and it was a warm sunny day, the streets were filled with people like usual. It was a usual day and things seemed to be getting back to normal since she returned. But she didn't feel the same and Brynjolf went everywhere with her now. He didn't leave her side, part of her liked the attention but the other part couldn't forget the image of him with the other woman even if it was just business.
That wasn't the only thing she couldn't get out of her mind, even though it had been a year since she returned. Vilkas would occasionally pop up into her mind and it angered her when it happened because when he came to her mind so did Njada. But for the most part she was okay, she did like Brynjolf's company and she felt like she could love him again. He started spending the night with her again but they haven't slept together since she came back, for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to it yet.
They walked past the Inn and behind a couple of buildings to reach the cemetery, before June walked any further she stopped thinking she heard a familiar voice. She furrowed her eyebrows down and stood there listening for a moment, it was near by but she couldn't figure out who's it was. "You coming?" She heard Brynjolf ask. She looked at him and gave him a smile. "Go ahead I'll be there in a bit." She answered. Brynjolf raised an eyebrow at her but just nodded and opened up the crypt walking into their secret door.
June started to slowly walked towards the Temple of Mara, she hid behind the wall and peeked out hearing two voices now. Once she saw who it was a frown quickly appeared on her face and she felt like a knife had gone through her heart. It was Vilkas talking to the head pries of the Temple, June sneaked a little closer trying to hear what they were talking about.
She hid behind another small wall and looked at them as she listened closely. "This is wonderful! Such beauty with these things!" The priest said with a cheerful smile. Vilkas just looked away, he wasn't smiling. In fact he didn't look happy at all, June could see what looked like sadness growing in his eyes. "Yeah yeah. Just tell me when I can have the wedding..." Vilkas asked keeping the frown on his face.
June's eyes widened and she felt her stomach begin to ache. 'Wedding?' She wondered if she heard him right. The priest rubbed his chin as he thought for a moment. "How about in two months from today?" The priest asked. "That way you have time to prepare." He said with a smile. "Sure, fine." Vilkas said quickly turning around starting to walk away. He suddenly stopped smelling the air, he smelt a familiar scent. A sweet scent that he longed for a very long time. 'Could that be...' He thought to himself as he turned his head to where the scent was coming from.
June quickly went behind the wall as saw him quickly turn his head, she felt her heart begin to beat hard against her chest. 'Why am I feeling nervous?' She wondered as she felt her stomach began to twist and turn. 'Who's he marrying...' She wondered again with a frown on her face. 'I don't care..' She thought to herself as she slowly peeked out again. She froze seeing Vilkas walking that way, she quickly turned around about to run off. But something held her back, she just stood there looking at the ground for a moment. She wanted to quickly vanish so he wouldn't find her but than again she wanted him to find her.
June suddenly panicked as she heard his footsteps getting closer, with out really thinking she quickly ran off. Vilkas looked behind the wall and frowned seeing no one was there, he looked around and there wasn't anyone in sight. He hoped he would run into June as he came here but he knew the chances of it were slim, he could've sworn that he smelt her scent but she was no where in sight.
Vilkas quickly stiffened up as he heard quick footsteps behind him. "Vilkas are you done yet!?" He heard Njada's angry voice behind him. Vilkas turned around and sneered at her. "Yes." He answered with a stern voice. With out giving her a second look he quickly walked past her and away from her. 'How did I get stuck in this situation...' He wondered as he could smell Njada's nasty scent over the sweet scent he followed just a moment ago.
June quickly entered into the Thieves Guild den catching her breath, it was hardly a run but the fact that she was running from Vilkas took her breath away for some reason. She looked up seeing the normal people in the room, some were training and others were just talking. She looked for Brynjolf but didn't see him. 'He must of gone to the Ragged Flagon.' She thought to herself as she walked through the room nodding and smiling at some of the Thieves and than walked through to door.
She looked around seeing Brynjolf sitting at one of the tables with Delvin, they were hunched over what looked like a map and were whispering. June raised an eyebrow and walked over to them, she put her hands down on the table and leaned over. "What's this?" She asked looking at the map. Delvin and Brynjolf exchanged quick glances, Brynjolf than looked up at June with a crooked smile. "New plans." He said leaning back in his chair.
June raised an eyebrow at him and tilted her head slightly. "Plans for what?" She asked looking down a the map. Brynjolf looked at Delvin and he nodded at him, Brynjolf rolled up the map and got up from the table. "Let's talk about it over dinner." Brynjolf said with a smile. June crossed her arms. "Or we could just talk about it now?" She said furrowing her eyebrows down at him. Brynjolf lightly grabbed her chin lifting her face up a bit and smile more at her. "Your place sound good?" He asked letting go and walking away. June let out an annoyed sigh but she couldn't help but smile at him as he walked away.
A few hours have passed and June was on her way back to her house, she looked up at the sky that was now growing dark. She looked around the town seeing only a few people were still out walking around and doing last minute shopping. She walked around a couple of buildings till she finally reached her house, she opened the front gate and walked up the steps.
She opened the door and let it close behind her. 'I wonder when Brynjolf will get here..' She wondered as she walked up the stairs. While she walked she started to un buckle her armor, just as she was about to enter her room she stopped hearing some shuffling. June furrowed her eyebrows down and slowly walked into the room, before she could look around she was suddenly grabbed and pushed up against the wall.
She tensed up and was ready to kick who ever it was but she relaxed seeing it was just Brynjolf. Brynjolf chuckled at the look on her face as he held her against the wall. "You never have your guard up enough lass." He whispered to her. "And you still don't know how to be more quiet." She replied with a growing smile. "You got me there." He said as his eyes trailed down to her chest seeing that her armor was un buckled a little.
June clenched her jaw as she saw his eyes trail down her body, she felt her body grow warm but she also felt a little un comfortable. "So, what's for dinner?" She suddenly asked with a smile. Brynjolf quickly looked up at her and smiled back, he let go of her wrists and slowly placed his hand on the side of her face. "Well I was just thinking that we should just get down to business." He said as his face slowly got closer to hers.
She tensed up a bit as she watched him closer, she felt his hand slide from her cheeck to the back of her neck. He tilted his face as their slips slightly touched, before he could seal the kiss June placed her hands on his chest stopping him. Brynjolf pulled back a little and looked at her confused, she had been acting strange since she returned and Brynjolf didn't like it. He wondered if it was because of the business he had a year ago that was still bothering her, he made sure that he wouldn't get any more of those.
June saw the look on his face, she quickly looked down trying to find an explanation for why she keeps hesitating. Brynjolf grabbed her chin again lifting it up to his face, their eyes met and they just stood there looking into each others eyes for a moment. Brynjolf slowly lowered his face to hers again and this time June didn't stop him, he moved his hand back to the back of her neck as their lips slowly locked together.
As Brynjolf slowly kissed her June could feel her body heat up and her butterflies return, she enjoyed the passionate kiss even though it wasn't the kiss she wanted. She longed for someone else's lips on hers but it was someone she couldn't have, she still had feelings for Brynjolf and she still wanted him but she felt guilty when Vilkas would pop up into her mind.
But knowing that he was getting married suddenly changed everything, she wasn't going to let it or him hold her back from someone who seemed to care about her. June slowly wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss got deeper, Brynjolf held her tight, pressing his body against hers. June ran her fingers through his hair as she bit down on his lower lip, she pulled back from the kiss looking into his eyes for a moment. She than let go of him and took his hand leading him to her bed, for the first time since she's been back they enjoyed each other that night and held each other once they fell asleep.
The morning sun peaked through the window causing June to blink awake, she yawned trying to turn over but a large arm stopped her. She looked over seeing Brynjolf was still asleep next to her, she had almost forgotten that he was there. Brynjolf's eyes slowly opened as he felt small movement, he smiled and sat up wrapping his arms around June and giving her small kisses on her neck. She smiled wrapping her arms around his neck, when he pulled back she gave him a quick kiss on the lips and than got up from bed to get dressed.
After they both put their armor on Brynjolf spread the map out onto her table, he pointed to a circle that was drawn on it. "For a couple months Delvin and I have been planning on a little trip." He explained standing up straight crossing his arms. "Trip for what?" She asked as she kept examining the map. "We found out that there is a hidden cave here and maybe some old Dwarven Ruins inside." Brynjolf said with a crooked smile.
June looked up at him a little surprise. "Does anyone else know of this place?" She asked him. "Not that we know of, I'm not even certain that it is there but we have some pretty good leads." He replied with a shrug. "Well what do you think is down there that's worth marking this cave?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows down. "If there really is a Ruin down there that no one has discovered yet imagine the treasures we will find down there." He said with excitement in his eyes.
Brynjolf walked over to her and stood next to her pointing back at the spot on the map. "We could really set the Guild up with this kind of stuff, Dwarven artifacts are valuable these days. We could also use them to get more contacts and maybe go far beyond Skyrim in name." He explained keeping his eyes on the map. "There are other Thieves Guild in the world though who probably have a bigger name than we do." June said rubbing her chin a little. "Maybe, but if there is as much treasure down there than we think, we may have a bigger name than them. They would come to us to join our Thieves Guild and we can grow." Brynjolf said looking at June.
June raised an eyebrow at him and than slowly looked back at the map. "It seems like too big of a leap to me..You said you weren't even sure if it was there.." June said with doubt in her voice. "Yes but that's why it's called a leap, we just have to go see for ourselves." Brynjolf said folding the map back up and putting it into his satchel. June looked at him for a moment as she thought about it.
Brynjolf gave her a crooked smile and lightly placed his hands on her hips. "It wouldn't hurt to check it out, we won't have to waist any resources. Just the two of us could go check it out, what do you say lass?" He said with a smooth convincing voice. "Hmm..." June looked away with a small smile as she kept thinking. "I guess it wouldn't hurt." She admitted looking back at him. Brynjolf smiled at her answer. "Well than, pack what you need. We leave soon." He said letting go of her. "I'll meet you by the gate." He said giving her one more smile before walking away and out of her house.
June grabbed a bag full of arrows and placed them on her back along with her bow, she packed all the things she needed and headed out of her house. She looked up at the sky as she walked down her steps, she saw that it was slightly cloudy and looked like it could rain any time. She looked around at the Market place seeing the usual people out shopping and talking, she ignored the looks she was getting from the guards but they knew not to mess with her or the Thieves Guild since Maven was now Yarl of Riften and she had the Thieves Guild in her pocket.
June despised Maven, she felt like she was always trying to get rid of her and she was also a filthy cheat. She hated that Maven was now Yarl but she had no choice but to give the Imperials Riften so Ulfric could have Markarth in the peace talks before she fought Alduin. June slightly hoped that Brynjolf was right about this cave and ruin, if they could get enough treasure and gold from it maybe, just maybe they might be able to make the Thieves Guild independent with out Maven.
June walked through Riften and towards the gate, she furrowed her eyebrows down seeing Brynjolf was not there yet. She sighed a little annoyed that she had to wait but she just leaned her back against the gate and waited for him. June felt like she had been waiting forever, she saw that the clouds were getting darker and she frowned hoping she wouldn't get rained on. She quickly looked up hearing running footsteps coming towards her, she stood up straight seeing it was Brynjolf.
She raised an eyebrow at him and before she could even ask him he gave her a big apologetic smile. "Sorry about that lass, I had to convince Delvin to stay while we check it out. I also wanted to make sure we had everything we needed in case we decided to go ahead and look in the cave if it was there." Brynjolf explained pointing to the supplies on his back. June just rolled her eyes and turned around pushing the gates open. "How far is this place?" She asked him as she started to walk down the road.
Brynjolf took out the map and opened it up examining it. "It's near Carthwasten, we can take carriages up to Markarth and than go on foot from there." He said putting the map back in his satchel. June let out a long deep sigh. "That's such a long ways away..." She complained as they approached the stables and the carriage. "Yes but think if like this lass, it might be worth it." Brynjolf said placing his hands on her shoulders and giving them a slight squeeze.
June sighed and nodded again as she gave the carriage driver the right amount of coin. "I hope so, if not than you're buying the drinks at every place we stop." She said giving Brynjolf a crooked grin. "Fine by me." He replied with a chuckle. They both hopped up into the carriage taking their seats, the carriage slowly pulled out onto the road. June couldn't help but remember the long journey she had from Riften back to Whiterun with the two brothers Vilkas and Farkas.
