Chosen

Chapter 11

Finn ran his lips from my chin to my jaw and back, moving ever so slightly high with each sweep.

My heart was thundering and I only knew one thing.

I wanted him to kiss me more than anything in the world.

The second his lips brushed mine, sparks covered my body.

Our lips fully met for the briefest, sweetest second when the door to the tower flew open with a gust of drizzling freezing rain and wind.

I threw my hand over my eyes at the sudden light.

"Finneas, Rowan?!" The voice made my stomach drop.

It was Cedric.

I squinted against the light and looked up at him. He was drenched and out of breath. He looked positively panicked.

My face scarlet red, I quickly tried to pull away from Finn but his arms and legs held me in place.

"What perfect timing you have brother..." Finn sighed quietly and dropped his head on my shoulder, going limp around me. "Close the door and give us another 15, will you?" he said looking up at Cedric with annoyance.

Cedric looked confused, then glanced around and saw our clothes on the ground and then back at Finn with a stone-like expression. His eyes narrowed.

"Are you okay, Rowan?" he asked through his teeth, not looking away from Finn.

"Y-yes!" I said, immediately. "I-it was just cold is all. I swear nothing happened! We just had to get warm!"

Cedric still glared at Finn.

"Of course you did..." Cedric said glaring at Finn.

I could feel his rage rationing towards Finn. Glancing over my shoulder I saw Finn smirking at him.

"Would you like to go then?" Cedric said more anger in his words.

Finn's arms twitched tighter around me and he was about to say something but I cut him off.

"Yes!" I said, with maybe too much enthusiasm.

Pushing off Finn's arms, he let me go, and I stood up. Only to look down and realize I was in my underclothes. My face lit up and I covered myself best I could with my arms.

Cedric didn't react at all. He strode over to Finn in three steps and yanked the blanket from around him. Placing the blanket around my shoulders he wrapped me up tightly. Then before I could do anything, he picked me up bridal style and walked out of the tower.

"Dramatic much?" I heard Finn mumble as he stood and followed us.

I couldn't help but glance back and notice his ridiculously beautiful form in only his underwear.

He definitely noticed and smirked again but then I had to shield the sun from my eyes when Cedric stepped outside carrying me. It was still overcast and drizzling but compared to the tower it was so bright. There were two guards with Cedric on horses while another white horse stood without a rider. Without any effort, he swung me up on the white horse, and in another motion, he was up and behind me.

I looked over at Finn who stood in the rain with nothing but his underwear. He was looking back at me and smiled knowingly as stared in his eyes. They looked at me so longingly my face was red again and I looked away.

I sucked in a sharp breath as the full weight at what had just happened hit me.

I kissed Prince Finneas Wentworth.
