Disclaimer: I don't own these characters in Hex Hall. Rachel Hawkins does and I love her for it.

What I own: 2 dogs, many keys, witchcraft books, and a mobile device.

Not very impressive, but besides that, It's been two years, so please enjoy!

Chapter 3

Archer held me in his arms for a while as we laid on the soft bed and I cried. I cried so much that I must have lost all the liquid in my body. He stroked my head gently, quietly. These were the moments that reminded me how much I do love this boy.

"Archer..What happens between us now?"

I spoke in a groggy voice from all the crying I've done previously.

"Well, you have my heart. I have yours. The only thing to do now is make love and seal the deal."

He spoke in a playful tone but somewhere in there, deep down, I knew his suggestion was real. I mean, I wasn't exactly saying no, but then I wasn't exactly saying yes. It was mostly because, like every other female out there, I'm self conscious about my body. Not that I think that would be a particular problem for Archer.

I just...feel embarrassed.

"Hey, don't think too hard about it. I wasn't really that serious about it."

Archer leaned back completely and just laid next to me, watching me. I felt like I was being violated with just his eyes. The way he looked at me with that look, the look. The one that let's you know that he is serious despite his words. My cheeks turned a light pink tint and I bit my lip.

"Sophie, if you keep biting your lip, I'll be inclined to make you stop in a way that won't be very appropriate."

I grinned internally and sat up quickly. My interest was piqued and even though I felt embarrassed, I decided to have fun with him.

"Well, you know how much of a rebel I am...You can only stop me..if you can catch me!"

I got up from the magical bed and ran through the flower field that we were in in the middle of a forest. All I heard as I ran were another set of running feet, besides mine.

"Sophie, when I catch you, and I will, I'll make you regret making me chase you around."

Archer growled at me. It sent pure shivers all over my body and more. It sent shivers into my soul and shook my labido. I bit my lip again and tried to run faster, in circles around the bed, almost dancing and laughing.

"That's an interesting notion, Archer. I'll keep that in mind!"

I knew he was going to catch me. It was only a matter of time really. I'm not that fast and he was great at everything in school. Automatic win.

"Gotcha."

I felt his hand grab my wrist, reeling me into his figure. He leaned in and kissed me in the kind of way that knocked the wind out of me, even though I was already out of breath. His tongue pushed against my lips and entered my mouth, exploring it with passion. When I kissed him back out tongues danced for dominance.

Suddenly, the back of my knees knocked against the bed and I was laying on it again with Archer leaning over me. He grabbed both my wrists and held them above my head and pulled away from our kiss. He leaned his head down and kissed my neck repeatedly.

He was having his way with me and I was in no position to protest his advances.

Hope you enjoyed this treat that had been left for almost three years. I apologize for that and I will hopefully keep up this time!
