Chapter 46

A Drive in the Rain

SKYLA.

I shut the door after he leaves and I lean against the wall, resting my head back. I’m unable to wipe this stupid smile off my face.

Royce Arden…

My stomach does a flip, and my smile vanishes.

I’m falling for him… even if he isn’t Reign…

I’m somehow falling for him, which means…

I’m going to have to tell Aleric…

I’m so fucked up…

“Sky! If you’re done flirting, do you want to actually come and watch?” Jayce calls.

“I’m not flirting. He’s gone.” I say, rolling my eyes and heading to my bedroom, I quickly change out of my dirty clothes. I wipe my face and neck, my heart skipping a beat as I remember how his hands had run along my throat…

Fuck…

I close my eyes, holding my shirt against my neck, as I inhale deeply. His scent lingers…

“Fuck, that one must have hurt!” Ares curses, snapping me from my thoughts. Tossing my clothes in my washing hamper, I head to the lounge. I’ll shower later… I don’t mind his scent lingering on me a little longer, even if I do feel a little sticky.

I return to the lounge, ready to watch the rest of this match and to relay everything to Royce, ignoring the looks I’m getting.

“So you and Arden seem close.” Theo remarks, downing his coca cola.

“We train almost daily.” I shrug.

“Train?” Ahren asks cheekily.

I give him a scathing glare, watching the television, hoping they don’t ask more nosy questions.

“There’re rumours going around about you and the other Arden. You know that right?” Jayce says after a while, like he’s damn twenty or something.

“Yeah, it’s BS.” I lie, “Yeah, I’d think they would match you up with this one at this rate.” Carter adds, Both are handsome.”

“Mmm,” I say lightly, not wanting to discuss guys with this bunch. Like seriously?
