Allen POV

No more than an hour later, we finally make it to our destination and I'm not going to lie…the house and land it's built on is amazing. It's surrounded by trees, but they're not overbearing. They give off that touch of it being serene and tranquil.

"This place is beautiful," I hear Lucy speak. I look over at her as she continues to fawn over the house. She hasn't looked, spoken or associated herself with me in the time it took to get here. She still chooses to ignore me and I know why, I just don't like it.

William chuckles his thanks and makes his way to a small stable before addressing me, "Allen, son. You can put Blaze in here for now. My daughter Scarlett or myself will take care of him and the rest later on," he tells me and I follow in his footsteps. Daughter?

"Papa, is that you?" I hear someone call out and a beautiful blonde woman, I'm assuming is Willam's daughter exits the house. She stops short when her eyes land on me then over to Lucy and the look in her eyes when they land on Lucy, doesn't sit well with me. "Oh! We have guests?" She asks, bounding down the steps and to her father, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Aye, we do. Scarlett dear, this is Allen Jones and his fiancée, Lucia Johnson. They will be staying with us for a night or two. Now I know you will be providing them with nothing but the best hospitality, right my dear?" William tells his daughter.

"Of course I will; you know this, Papa," Scarlett giggles as her eyes drift towards me once more; the look in them is unnerving. I begin to become uncomfortable underneath her stare, so I make my way to Lucy and wrap my arms around her from behind. To silently show Scarlett that I'm unavailable, regardless of the words her father just said to introduce us. I try to press a kiss to the side of her head, but she pulls away from me and my affection towards her.

"Lucy, baby. You can't still be mad at me from earlier. Come on," I groan quietly as I reach out for her, then stand up straight when she looks at me with so much disdain.

"I can and I still am. Don't touch me," she hisses at me.

My annoyance and anger from earlier come rushing to the surface, that when Lucy tries to walk away from me, I pull her back into my hold. She opens her mouth to retort, but whatever she was about to say dies on her lips when she sees the pissed off look on my face.

"I don't know what's gotten into you, but it needs to stop. Now. You embarrassed me earlier in front of William and now you're going to do it again in front of not only him, but his daughter as well?" I ground out quietly and she looks down at her hands that rest on my chest. I can feel her pressing them against me, trying to create some distance.

"I'm sorry, alright? Just…please leave me be. I'll come to you when I'm ready to talk. I promise," Lucy replies, but I don't let up my hold on her. She meets my eyes and I know she finds the anger there, but I know she also sees that what's going on between us upsets me. We're finally together the way we want to be and we can't even enjoy it because life is already trying to get in the way of that.

"Just don't make me wait long, please," I reply with a nod before pressing a soft kiss to Lucy's forehead, releasing my hold on her.

Scarlett comes up to me as soon as Lucy makes her way to William and they make their way into the house. "Is everything okay? That looked a little tense," she coos as she tries to rub my arm in comfort, but I pull away from her touch before she can even make physical contact.

"Everything is fine between us. We just had a little hiccup is all," I retort and quickly make my way inside with Scarlett hot on my trail.

Scarlett POV

My god, is he gorgeous. But why on earth is he with…her. He can do so much better. Like me. And then it hits me as my eyes widen. That is Lucia Johnson…Lucy as in the former queen! It didn't take long to hear what happened and the role she played in all of it. Cheating on the King of Scotland? She really is a dumb bitch. Which brings me back to…why in the hell is he with her? He does know what happened…right?

I already know I want him. Plain and simple. I just have to play my cards right and possibly use Lucy's infidelity against her to get him. I retreat my advances on Allen and go about as if I never did anything, but you can bet that I'll be observing the hell out of his and Lucy's interactions. I can already sense that something bad is going on between them, so if that continues, I can use that to my advantage as well.

Following Allen into the house, I see him standing there, looking awkward, until Papa pulls him into conversation on what he wants to do once he and Lucy get married. Ugh, throw up much! He's willing to marry that cheating skank? Oh Allen…things will be better soon enough. I grin internally as I go to address my father.

"Papa, I almost forgot to ask. Did you get the carrots like I asked you to?" I ask him and a shade of red develops on his face. I'm going to take that as a no, I sigh to myself.

"I'm sorry, my dear. I got caught up in wanting to help Allen and Lucy that it completely slipped my mind. Forgive me?" He asks, holding that innocent look on his face he always knows works with me. It never fooled Mama though and it drove him crazy.

Sighing, I reply, "of course, Papa. You already know I do. I'm just going to need to figure out another side for tonight's supper is all. And now that there are two more mouths to feed, I'm going to need to grab another piece of meat. Excuse me," I say, disappearing from the room to go fetch the deer and potatoes I've decided will become our new side.

Lucy POV

I absolutely love this place! It's beautiful! And so welcoming and homey. I just wish Allen was in a better mood, especially now that we are at our hosts house. I know I'm partial to blame, but he was being too stubborn for his own good. We needed a place to stay and William offered that to us. He is a sweet and gentle older gentleman and I can tell he is by his demeanor. I don't know how or why Allen can't do the same.

I sigh quietly as I look over at him and see the uncomfortable look on his face. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that he was forced to do this because I wanted to. I'm only thinking about him and his wellbeing and being out in that cold weather is not going to help him. I'll talk to him in a little bit because I know he is unhappy about the situation. I just need a little more time away from him for the way he had spoken and treated me. He's never done that before and it frightens me. I love him with everything within me, I just hope I didn't make a mistake in wanting to be with him now that I'm free to do what I want. He's never acted that way towards me the past two weeks, so I just don't understand why he is acting the way he is now.

Scarlett comes back into the house and my eyes light up in hopes that I can help her prep the rest for dinner. I mean…it's the least I can do considering William took Allen and I in with no notice whatsoever. "Can I help you with anything? It'd be a honor to do so since you and your father took us in without any notice," I ask Scarlett with a hopeful tone.

She looks over at me with wide and uncertain eyes. Almost as if she can't stand the sight of me. My smile dims drastically when she plasters a fake smile on her face. "Oh no, sweetheart. You're a guest here and you will be treated as such. Go spend some time with your fiancé as you guys get settled in," Scarlett addresses me indifferently, as if I'm incompetent of doing anything.

Feeling dejected, I go to the room William had told me and Allen we'd be staying in. I sit on the bed and look out the window, wanting nothing more than to talk to my mom, but I know now is not the right time. I look down at my tattered dress and pick at one of the loose strings on it as I try to hold back my tears. I hear footsteps approach the bedroom, but I ignore them and hope that they will go away.

"Lucy, darlin'…are you alright?" I hear Allen's voice that I had fallen in love with almost immediately ask me from the entryway to the bedroom. My eyes squeeze shut and the first tear falls.

"Just leave me alone, Allen," I rasp out. And not because of what is going on between us, but because I just want to wallow in self pity as I come to terms that no one, but Allen will accept me. I just wish I knew what I did to make Scarlett be so indifferent with me. I haven't spoken a word to her till just then.

I hear the door shut and moments later, Allen is sitting next to me and pulls me into his arms. God, I really don't deserve this man. He is too good to me even when I keep him at arms length. "Hey, it's alright, baby. What's got you so upset?" He asks me softly while pressing a kiss to the top of my head. I reach over and grab onto his shirt as if my life depends on it as more tears begin to fall.

"Why does it feel like no one likes or accepts me? The only two that ever have are you and…Drew. But you saw how that went due to my foolishness," I reply with a sniffle.

I hear and feel Allen sigh before he responds. "I'm sure because of what happened is a big reason why no one did, but their opinion doesn't matter anymore. They aren't a part of your life. I am. And I love and accept you for who you are regardless of what you've done or what's happened in the past.

"This isn't about what just happened out there…is it?" He asks, his tone acting like he doesn't want to know the answer, but I know he does. When I stay silent, but cuddle further into his side, I feel his hold on me tighten as he sighs again. "Who cares what Scarlett thinks. She's going to be nothing but a fleeting thought when we get out of here and finally start our life together the way we want."

When I continue to stay silent, I feel Allen bury his face into my hair. "Since the day we met…have I ever steered you wrong before? Have I ever given you a reason not to trust me?" He asks back to back questions and he and I both know he got me there.

"No," is my watery reply.

Allen pulls away, but doesn't release his hold on me. "Look at me, Lucy," he orders me softly and I look up at him, seeing a set mixture of emotions floating through his blue eyes. "What makes you think I'll start now?" He asks, gently and I don't have an answer because I know he's right.

After a minute or two of me accepting that I know what every word Allen just said was true, I leave the bedroom with a small smile on my face as I wipe the tears from my eyes and cheeks. Allen is right and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. He never has done anything to make me not warrant his trust, but I'm still hurt at what happened earlier. When my eyes fall on William, an idea comes to mind and I ask him of his opinion. Maybe he can have some insight on what I can do to make things better between me and Allen. With that in mind, I walk up to him and ask the obvious. What can I do?

Scarlett POV

Yes! Lucy just left the bedroom, leaving Allen by himself. Now is my opportunity to make my move while I have the chance. Poor little Lucy. If only she knew what's about to happen and how I'm about to snatch her man right up from under her nose.

God, Allen is so fucking hot. He's got every attribute that a woman could ever want. It's more than I can say for Karrion. I roll my eyes at the thought of my lazy and useless boyfriend. I honestly don't even know why I'm still with him, he doesn't do anything. He really can be a dumbass, too, not to mention he's terrible in bed. No matter what I do, he can't get it up to save his life. No less, has he been able to pleasure me properly. Now Allen…oh he looks like he knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to pleasuring a woman. I grin wickedly to myself as I go stalk to my one true desire.

Allen POV

I go follow Lucy out of the bedroom, but think better of it. I know she wants to be left alone from me right now. It's a miracle she even let me comfort her the way she just did. I sit back down on the bed and hold my head in my hands, wondering what the hell happened between last night and now. And that's omitting what happened to Lucy last night. I can forgive her for that because she didn't have a choice, but all the other times…it's going to take me time to get over that. Even if it happened before I got there.

I don't think about it too much because I hear Lucy making her way back to the bedroom and I hope it's to talk and make things right between us. I hate the tension right now that's made itself known. That's not how Lucy and I are. It never has been and I don't want it to start now.

When I go to look at Lucy, the small smile that I put on my face drops when I see it's Scarlett instead. Fucking hell. What does she want now? She's already tried to make a move on me and hurt Lucy's feelings for no reason. I want nothing to do with her.

I quickly get to my feet and try to put some distance between us, but she's literally got me cornered to where I can't get out. "Scarlett, what do you want? You've already caused enough trouble for no reason and Lucy and I haven't even been here for an hour yet."

A disgusted look forms on her face at the mention of Lucy's name, but it quickly disappears and a look I don't want directed at me from her replaces the disgust. Oh no. Hell no. I can already see where this is going and I don't like it.

"Ugh, please don't mention that little whore in front of me. You do know what she did, don't you?" Scarlett asks, closing the space between us and I'm forced to hold her back by putting my hands on her shoulders.

"Don't you talk about her like that. She's my fiancée who I love more than anything. And yeah, I know what she did. It's the reason why she did it that doesn't make me leave her, but that's not your business." I ground out and Scarlett removes my hold from her shoulders and instead places it on her hips, her eyes begging me to continue lower.

"Hmm…maybe. But has she been able to satisfy you the way a man deserves to be? I can do so much more for you than she'll ever be able to do. I can make you feel things you've never felt before," she says, trying to seduce me as she runs her hand down my chest.

"Scarlett, you need to stop. Now," I ground out and grab her hand removing it from me.

"Come on, Allen. You know you want me. I sure as hell want you; what I wouldn't give to ride this cock," she says assertively and grabs a handful of my junk. My eyes widen at her brazen act and before I even have the chance to push her off of me, I hears Lucy's cries. They grow quieter by the second, telling me she's left the house and most likely fled the damn property.

"What the fuck, Scarlett! I told you no, goddamn it! And now I have to go find my fiancée because lord knows where the hell she ran off to! No thanks to you! And you call her a whore? You might want to check yourself in the mirror before you make anymore accusations," I spit out at her and run from the house, ignoring William's confused and startled questions and try to find Lucy.

Lucy POV

William is right, I should listen to everything Allen has to say. He may have a different insight than I do when it comes to certain things. That it won't be like that for everything, but a lot of the times it will. We are two different people with different perspectives in life and how we view it. I never thought of it that way, then again…I was never given the opportunity to be able to view life outside of a 4-sided prison.

With that in mind, since Allen hasn't emerged from the bedroom yet, I go back to it to talk with him so we can make things right between us. I hate this tension that is going on and I miss being in his arms. But as soon as I make it to the threshold of the bedroom the sight before me has my heart breaking into a million pieces and it's becoming nearly impossible to breathe.

Scarlett has her hands all over him and the way he is looking at her with lust in his eyes, it has me wanting to vomit because I never thought he would do this to me. HE PROMISED ME! AND HE BROKE THAT PROMISE!

I try to choke back the sob that wants to break free, but it's no use because the pain is just too great. Not wanting to see anymore of it, I run outside and away from the house. I hear Allen yelling for me, but it makes the tears fall faster and my legs move quicker. I make my way into the woods and I don't know where I'm going, but at this point I don't care. I just need to get away.

"LUCY! Lucy please! Come on, baby! It's not what it looked like…I swear on my life! PLEASE!" I hear Allen yell for me, but I don't answer him. I said the same thing to Drew and I really meant it in that moment. I didn't wanna be there! I regret ever being with that disgusting excuse for a human being. I think as I think of Randy and a shiver runs down my spine at the thought of him. I guess this is karma coming back to bite me in the ass a lot quicker than I thought it would. That doesn't make it any easier. But at least now you know how Drew felt. I find a knocked down tree big enough for me to hide and I settle there because I know I won't be able to outrun him.

How could he do this to me? Why? I scream inside my head. He promised me there was no one else. That he loved me and only me. That he wants no one but me. And he lied to me. Now what do I do? Where do I go? My thoughts stop immediately when I hear his feet crushing the leaves not far from where I am.

"LUCY! Damn it, please baby! I know you better than you know yourself, honey and I know you're near. Lucy!" Allen cries out and I can hear the fear and anguish in his voice, but it still doesn't get me to respond.

I press myself up against the trunk, trying to hide myself as best as I possibly can when I see Allen dart past to my left as he continues to try and look for me. I keep as quiet as I possibly can and hopefully he'll just give up searching for me.

"Come on, Lucy! I'm sorry, baby! Nothing happened! She's the one who touched me, not the other way around! Oh my god, I can't lose you…I swear, if I…LUCY!" He bellows out my name in agony and I have to cover my mouth to mask my sobs.

I make the mistake of moving my foot because from where I can see Allen, he stops in his tracks and looks over in my direction. Fuck! I silently scream to myself.

"Lucy? Baby…please. Lucy!" He continues to call and his voice gets louder, letting me know he is close. "Lucy, please don't do this to me. You're my life, baby and I can't live without you. I wanna marry you and make you my wife. I want to start a family with you! Please!" Allen pleads and before he calls out for me again, he steps into view and his eyes land on me.

"Lucy…" he breathes with a look of relief on his face before he stares up at the sky, "fuck, thank god you're okay." I just continue to sit there and stare at him as my tears keep falling.

When he realizes that I'm not budging, Allen gets to his knees in front of me. He reaches out to grab my hand, but I tuck it into my body and turn away from him. "Lucy…baby. Please. I don't know what you saw, but whatever it was, it was not reciprocated. She tried to advance on me 4 separate times, but each time I pushed her away. I don't want her, Lucy. I want you. I always have and I always will." He explains and I subtly turn my head in his direction.

I know he caught it because the look on his face turned into one of not only pure desperation, but determination to get me to believe him. "I'm yours, Lucy. I belong to you. No one else. I know you remember the day we met where you told me that your heart belonged to me, no matter what and I in turn told you that my heart belongs to you…that's because it's true, baby. You leave me…I have no reason to exist anymore. You're my reason for living, Lucy and I don't wanna lose that. I can't lose that. Please, you have to believe me," Allen whispers brokenly as the tears begin falling down his face.

I turn completely towards him, no longer using the tree as my support. "But she touched you, Allen and the look I saw on your face when she did…" I begin, but he cuts me off and grabs my hands in his.

"She had me cornered, Lucy. I tried to leave the room as soon as she walked in, but she blocked my path and I wasn't going to put my hands on a female like that. I saw the determination on her face; she wasn't going to stop, so I knew that meant she wasn't moving. And I don't know what look you saw, but it wasn't lust, I can promise you that. I wasn't expecting her to grab me there, so you probably saw the shocked look on my face.

But I can promise you with my life, I never…not once…touched her back. The only time I did was to hold her back and she turned that on me. And I now know why she doesn't like you…" he said and I look at him as I wait for him to continue. "It's because you have me. Because I'm yours…not hers. And she wants me, but I already told her in not so many words that I belong to you. Because it's true Lucy. Please tell me you believe me. Don't let her destroy what we have, baby," Allen rasps out.

I look down at our joined hands and watch his thumbs as they rub circles on the backs of my hands before looking back up at him. "Please." He whispers and I nod my head because I do believe him. Everything he said made sense and the fact he remembered what we had told each other that first day…

Before I know it, I'm engulfed in Allen's hold, his arms strong around me. His momentum causes us to fall to our butts, but his hold on me never wavered. I reposition myself in between his legs and curl my body into his, holding onto him as if my life depends on it. "Thank you, baby. Thank you for believing me. I love you, so much. You don't even know, Lucy," he tells me.

"I love you, too. It's why it hurt me so much to see what I did. In that moment, I knew it was karma coming back to get me for what I did to Drew. I just didn't think it would be that…although it does make sense," I say quietly, tucking my face into his neck. "And as for earlier, I'm sorry I embarrassed you the way I did; it wasn't my intention. I was just thinking of you and your health," I tell him quietly.

I feel Allen press a kiss to my shoulder as his hold on me becomes stronger. "Thank you, baby and I appreciate you so much for that, but your decisions could have put us in danger. I know it wasn't your intention and that you don't know any better because you were raised so sheltered, I just thank God they didn't," he replies back and runs his hand from my waist down to my thigh, but he quickly detours back up to my hips and begins to feel around.

"Allen, what are you doing?" I ask him, sitting up before he shoves his hand into one of the pockets of my dress. He pulls out a bracelet with diamonds and sapphires throughout it and looks at me with wide and confused eyes. I return his stare because I had no idea that was even there.

"Lucy…did you?" Allen asks me and I shake my head rapidly, taking the item from his hands.

"No. I had no idea. Drew gave this to me just after we had gotten married. How it got into the pocket of this dress, I have no idea. But Allen, we can use this to help get our feet on the ground. We had nothing and lord knows how much money this will get us. It also means we can leave here and find a place to stay for the night. If we left right now, we would be able to turn it in for money," I tell him and I can see in his eyes that he agrees with me.

"You're right. Let's go tell William we'll no longer need his hospitality and then we can leave and get away from here," he said excited before framing my face with both hands and presses a kiss to my lips. "I can't believe this is happening. We can finally start off our lives together the right way," he whispers, pressing another soft kiss to my lips.

I return Allen's kiss with a smile while pressing my body into his. "I love you," I whisper before adding, "come on, let's go; let's get outta here," I tell him, getting to my feet.

Getting to his own feet, Allen grabs my hand and links our fingers as we walk back to the house. When we break through the tree line and see the house, Allen's body stiffens instantly and he stops suddenly. I look up at him with confusion in my eyes, but his are set hard and focused on something…or someone standing just outside the house.

My eyes follow his and my hand tightens within Allen's and I step closer to him. The look on the man's face who stands next to Scarlett is feral. I just don't know why. Neither one of us know him. "Allen," I call his name quietly and he in kind squeezes my hand.

"It's alright, darlin'. The quicker we get this done, the better," he replies.

"What do you mean 'get this done'? What are you going to do?" I ask him in fear.

"Don't worry about that. I just want you to stay out of the way and please don't try to stop me. I don't know what this asshole is going to do, but with the look he has on his face, it's not going to be good," Allen said.

I take a deep breath and let go of Allen's hand, so I can stand in front of him. He looks down at me with question in his eyes. Standing on my tip toes, I frame his face and press a kiss to his lips. "Just be careful. Please. I love you," I whisper to him.

"I love you," he whispers back to me and takes my hand once more. We slowly stalk back towards the house and before I even know what's happening, Allen releases his hold on me altogether.

This guy doesn't look like good news at all, not to mention he looks greasy and extremely dirty. Like he hasn't bathed in weeks. He eyes me with a maniacal stare before Allen forces this man's attention back onto him.

"Hey! How about you take your eyes off of my fiancée and stop looking at her like she's yours to possess. She's mine, pal. You already have your blond whore to warm your bed every night," Allen snarls. This man's eyes widen in anger at Allen's name calling for Scarlett. He's not wrong though…

"Karrion baby! He was the one who tried to move in on me! He cornered me and put his hands all over me! I tried so hard, but I couldn't get away!" Scarlett cried out to this…person. Girl, Scarlett your taste is terrible. Save for…no Lucy! Don't even let your mind wander in that direction.

"What?!" Allen and I yell at the same time.

"You lying bitch! I wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot stick! You're out of your goddamn mind! She…" Allen jerks his head in my direction, "is the only one I'm touching. I want nothing to do with you. It's you who grabbed my dick before I shoved your nasty hands off of me," Allen exclaims never once taking his eyes off of Karrion.

"Shut your mouth, you lowly piece of shit! My Scarlett wouldn't lie to me! Now you're going to pay," Karrion grounds out and lunges at Allen, but Allen is too quick and dodges his swing.

"But she did. With the way she looks and how she presents herself to just any man she comes across, I wouldn't be surprised if she has any diseases!" Allen responds and Karrion goes to swing at Allen again, but this time Allen blocks it and sucker punches this douchebag in the stomach, causing him to double over. "Don't try me, I may be a lot smaller than you, but when it comes to protecting what's mine and my dignity…I don't play around," Allen grunts as he punches Karrion in the face when he gets back to his feet.

I watch the sight in front of me as Allen continues to land hit after hit to Karrion. I don't know if he's channelling all of his anger from what happened to him last night, but I've never seen this kind of rage come from Allen before. With the next blow Allen delivers to Karrion, he hits the motherfucker directly on the bridge of his nose. Blood and was that…oh my god! It was grease from his hair!…splatter all over Scarlett's face, causing her to scream out like a banshee. I look at her with a smirk then back over at my man with pride.

"AHHH! OH MY GOD! EWW!" She screams so loud, I think the dogs from the other side of the village heard her. I have to hold back my laughter and smartass comment to her because I'm not going to let myself drop down to her level.

Allen knocked Karrion down onto his back and straddles him as he continues to rain punch after punch to the asshole. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Scarlett looking directly at Allen and I don't like the look I see there. It's rage and something else I can't decipher. "You bastard!" She yells and goes to clobber him on the back of the head but before she can even get to him, I'm running at her, shoving Scarlett away from Allen.

"Bitch, don't you dare touch him, again. If you know what's good for you. Unless you want to end up like your disgusting…partner…and get the shit beat out of you, I suggest you stay the fuck away from Allen. Like him, I don't mess around when it comes to the one I love," I spit at her and the look on her face is murderous, but she chooses wisely and doesn't attempt to come after me.

I keep my eyes on her for a few brief moments, making sure she isn't going to move before turning my attention back onto the scene in front of me. "Allen, baby…that's enough! You don't wanna kill him!" I say loud enough to get his attention. He's in such a blind rage that he doesn't hear me. "ALLEN!" I yell his name, cautiously placing my hand on his back to get his attention.

His natural instinct to protect himself kicks in and he turns towards me with his fist in the air, until he realizes it's me. His eyes are wide as he looks at me when he falls off of Karrion and to the ground next to his beaten and bloodied body. "Shit, Lucy. Are you alright? I told you not to get involved," he pants out and I fall to my knees by his side and frame his face, forcing Allen to look at me.

"I know you did, but you were so far gone; I had to bring you back to me somehow. If you kept at it, you would have killed him, baby. I'm alright though. The question is, are you? He got you good on the cheek and your knuckles are all bloody and bruised," I reply, fretting over him and he grabs my hands within his.

"I'm fine, darlin'. Thank you for stopping me because I wouldn't have been able to stop. Not when it comes to you and me. You know I'll protect you at all costs," Allen said and I give him a scolding look, but it's buried by the love that replaces it.

"I know you will, baby. But let's get out of here. You've done more damage to the asshole than was necessary, but I have to say…it was kinda hot," I whisper to him with a glint in my eyes and the look in his changes when he catches on to what I'm saying.

He gets to his feet, pulling me with him and he narrows his eyes at me with lust. "Don't tease me, Lucy," he growls out quietly and I grin up at him.

"When we get to where we're going…I promise, I'll let you have your way with me. I can see it in your eyes, I know what you want. Now like I said…let's get the hell out of here and finally start our lives together," I conclude and Allen presses a hard kiss to my lips before grabbing my hand and looks down at what should be the carcass of Karrion.

"I hope you learned your lesson, asshole. Don't threaten a man who has his life, the woman he loves and his future, all within his grasp. It won't end well for you," Allen spits out.

"And while you're at it. Take a goddamn bath! You're disgusting!" I add to Allen's comment before we walk off.

"He was pretty nasty, wasn't he?"
