(I'm so sorry this is short, it has so much talking in it... I think... I'll just make the next chapter longer for you, promise!)
Chapter 10:
"I'm sorry for being so harsh." Adam informed me. "I probably sounded like an ass." I laughed, nodding.
"I'm sorry too." I informed him, snuggling into his warmth.
"You are adorable together." Ian simply stated. "So, what do you guys want to do today, now that harvest is over we don't have to work with the farmers for a while, unless they need help of course."
"I want to stay in bed." Jerome whined.
"Why would you want to do that?" Mitch questioned, confused.
"Because you're an ass." Jerome responded. Mitch shook his head.
"Yeah, but I'm your ass." He teased, pulling Jerome's head against his chest.
"I think we should go to town, tell people you're back Ty, lots of them are sorry actually; even Hazel." Adam stated. I didn't respond, giving him a confused look. "What?"
"What do you mean I'm back?" I started, sitting up partially.
"You're here now, I mean, you don't have to leave, no one's making you." Ian exclaimed, smiling.
"I… I can't stay. They'll find me, then I'm fucked as hell." I confirmed, lying down, my head in Adam's lap.
"Who? The Central City?" Mitch questioned.
"How did you know that?" I demanded, instantly sitting up.
"A dude came by looking for you two days ago, he left yesterday, before you showed up." Adam explained, holding me in his arms. I slowly pulled away, getting up and going to my room, grabbing my sheath, then coming back downstairs to get my armor from the armory. "No, you can't leave yet!" Adam argued, grabbing my wrist.
"If they find me, they'll force me to give up Snow-Dust, despite the fact I own him." I sharply replied, snatching my wrist back. "I'm not letting them take him away, he doesn't like people for a reason."
"Can I come with you?" Adam continued as I sat down, pulling my bracers on, my boots as well. I grabbed my cloak, pulling a piece of charcoal from it and smudging my face.
"Do you have a cloak to keep you warm?" I questioned, facing him.
"No-"
"Then you'll die. I'm coming back, I just want to get Damien, besides; he'll help." I confirmed, walking out the back door, grabbing Snow-Dust's tack.
"I can help! Please, stay!" Adam pleaded, everyone following me. I got Snow-Dust geared up, Snow-Dust starting to panic at the sight of Ian, who he'd never met before. I looked to Adam, giving him a kiss, making him quiet. "How long will you be gone?" He whispered.
"A few days. I'm coming back, don't worry. Besides, you know where to find me. This isn't goodbye." I assured, pulling myself away from Adam and mounting the fidgeting Snow-Dust, turning him away and digging my heel into his flank. He took off at a full gallop instantly.
~Damien~
"Oh, how beautiful can you be, my sweet?" I questioned myself, scrubbing down Caramel, my dark amber colored horse. "Such a beauty, yes, not even Snow-Dust can compare." She nickered, nudging me. I left her stall, leaving her in crossties as I grabbed a brush, the stable door opening. I looked over.
"Ty, you've returned, how was your-"
"You're taking a vacation; get Caramel ready, we leave as soon as possible." He interrupted. I frowned.
"Who'd watch the stable? I haven't taken the time to train any apprentices, no one's qualified enough–"
"I went and found an old friend, his name's Harley, I bought Snow-Dust from him; he trained Snow-Dust himself." Ty confirmed. "Your stable is safe in his hands, and he doesn't charge-"
"Vacation time, vacation time, I'm going on a vacation… to where, may I ask?" I questioned, gathering Caramel's dark, nearly black tack as an older gentleman entered the stable, leading in a big, old, grey Clydesdale.
"Waterworks." Ty insisted.
"I'm aloud to board my horse here while I'm working the stable, right?" The old man teased, leading the horse into an empty stall.
"Of course, especially if I don't need to pay you!" I cheerfully declared, making him laugh.
"You have a fine stable here." He informed me.
"I know, my grandfather built it." I got Caramel tacked up, leading her from her stall. "Alright, I'm taking off, my bedroom is in the back; you're welcome to use it if you have the need!" I informed him as Ty and I left.
~Ty~
I trotted Snow-Dust up the hill, waiting at the top as the house came into view. I looked behind me to Caramel, who had Damien balancing on her back by his hand. He was perfectly steady for a hardworking guy.
"You're asking to fall!" I laughed as Jerome, Mitch, Adam, and Ian came out onto the porch, waving. When Caramel came over the hill and continued down, they blinked, seeing the man on her back as he switched hands.
"My friend, I have never fallen off a horse and never intend to do such a horrid thing!" Damien called back as Snow-Dust went to catch up with them. As I got to him, I pushed a hand against his body, but he didn't budge, making him laugh. "And also, my friend, you are very weak." He determined, flipping himself over and slowing Caramel, who snorted her protest, but stopped none the less. I stopped Snow-Dust, dismounting him as Damien jumped from Caramel's back, dusting himself off.
"Now, please explain why we aren't in Waterworks, but on its outskirts." He started, looking to me as we let our horse's graze.
"Because this is where your vacation is." I informed him, going onto the porch and hugging Adam, who was more than pleased to see me.
"And these people that have invaded the vacation?" Damien continued, following me.
"My friends, friends I've had longer than you in fact." Damien frowned.
"The ones who chased you out?"
"That was an accident." Jerome stated, rushing from the porch to see the new horse.
"Its fine, we're all good now." I assured, staying in Adam's arms as I turned to Damien. Damien sighed, smiling.
"Well, then, this should be an interesting vacation. Why am I on vacation again?" Damien questioned.
"The Central City." I simply reminded.
"Ah, right, the bastards are trying to steal your horse!" Damien laughed, sitting on the railing. "I wouldn't do that, she can get aggressive." Damien warned as Jerome continued to gently run his hand over Caramel. Caramel didn't seem to care. Then, from nowhere, Blaze came trotting around the corner of the house, up the porch steps, and straight to Damien, wagging his tail rapidly, excited. "Blaze!" Damien happily exclaimed, falling to his knees and picking Blaze up. Blaze licked his face, which made me flinch. Why? He's dirty as hell Blaze…
"Blaze, what are you- um…" Hazel started, freezing when seeing Damien and I, or more like Damien. "Hi…" She shyly stated, looking away.
"Aren't you just the cutest thing, do you live around here?" Damien questioned, not even taking notice to Hazel.
"Yeah…" She whispered. Blaze barked.
"Of course you do, I should have figured that since you're always coming from the south road." Damien continued. Hazel looked confused.
"He's talking to Blaze." I softly informed her. Damien looked to me.
"What?"
"Oh…" Hazel stated, getting very red. Damien looked over to her, seeming surprised.
"I'm sorry; I didn't even realize you were there." Damien admitted.
"I came for my dog."
"Oh, you own Blaze, huh?" Damien started, seeming interested as he stood, setting Blaze down and leaving the porch to stand with Hazel. I snickered, rolling my eyes.
"Go have fun, just don't get killed." I muttered, knowing he wouldn't hear me as I dragged Adam into the house. Adam forced me to the couch, holding me firmly in his lap, trailing kisses down and up my neck, making me giggle, happy. Jerome and Mitch sat down on the couch across from us, Ian just standing there.
"Adam, we have work that needs to be done." Ian blurted out.
"Right, right, go have fun; I'll catch up in a bit…" He quietly hummed, his words muffled by the kisses and nibbling on my right ear. Ian softly chuckled, rolling his eyes as all three of them left.
"Bye!" I called. As soon as they said bye back and shut the door, I let a moan escape my lips as Adam moved back down my neck, nipping at my skin, until getting to the base of my neck and beginning to bite and suck as I tilted my head to the side, giving him more room, once more moaning at the bliss. His hands held my waist and hips firmly planted down onto his lap, but I managed to turn, facing him, biting his ear gently and making him softly groan.
"Mitch told me you don't want to have sex." Adam blurted out. I took in a sharp breath.
"What?" I whispered. Adam pulled away, a confused face.
"Mitch told me you don't want to have sex." He repeated. I went red. "Why?"
"I-… It's complicated… But one of the better reasons is because you won't show me your eyes." I determined, smirking.
"I'll show you my eyes if you tell me your secrets." He whispered in my ear.
"… What?" I breathed, stunned.
"I know you have a secret, I don't know what, but I know you do it after locking your door at night and 'going to bed.'" He declared. My eyes widened. I knew Adam was good at seeing through lies, but…
"I… That's not relevant." I argued. He chuckled, running a hand down the side of my cheek.
"Please? My eyes are my secret and I want to know yours as much as you want me to pleasure you, I can see it in your eyes Ty…" He informed me. I gulped. Damn it Adam… "Does it have something to do with the bracelet you never take off? The headphones?" Adam began. I didn't respond. His hand slipped up to the headphones, gently taking them off of my neck, placing them back on after seeming satisfied. "It's the bracelet." He finished. Fuck.
