The Cost of Immortal Love [H.S A.U]

S I X

Three months later.

I take my book and glass of water and head outdoors. The sun beating down on the wet roses, their scent radiating for miles it feels like. I check on the lilies and their progress as I walk into the maze following each direction as I had been for weeks. A left followed by 4 rights, 4 lefts, and lastly 4 rights again. 444. My usual spot waits for me with open arms, unfortunately wet ones this time. I groan as I stupidly forgot to take the blanket in and it's soaked.

The temperature feels like it's rising by the second. The July summer in full swing. The soaked blanket might be good now that I think of it. I take off my dress and set my book on it. In my bikini I soak in the sun as the cool blanket keeps me from overheating. Fuck this! The memory of Harry and I sweating like dogs in the green house at the beginning of summer comes to mind. The heat even at night almost making us pass out. Harry cracking open a window as I take him by surprise on my knees. Looking up at him through my lashes as he pants with his head almost sticking outside the window.

Not a lot has changed since all this began. No one really needed my help for some time and Jonathan trusted me to tend to the gardens to test if I'd make a run for it but the thought of nothing out there for me kept me here. The thought of Harry's hands up my top and in my pants in Jonathan's office helped a bit too.

I took up reading about the flowers and plants to keep my gardening job, it was better than the alternative which was sulking inside staring at a clock. Smiling for once in my life I forgot my impending doom. God knows when I'll die and if it's God's will then might as well get all the pleasure I can.

After hours Harry will wisp us to a new part of the home. Showing me many ways he's thought of to make me cum. He had shown me after a month, how to touch him, how my mouth could be of service.

Since then it's been almost every night that we'd spent together. Most of the day time though had just been me to myself. Kylo has been away most of the time, taking trips or disappearing for weeks at a time. Jonathan has been too locked up in his study doing who knows what and Landon just-, Landon just hides in the shadows. Wanting to be unbothered most of the time, at least it feels like any time I try to strike up a conversation or be any help. Either way I'm okay with it.

I've spent most my time either in the Maze talking to the grass or plants, sometimes basking in the sun by the fountain, enjoying the water droplets that leap out of the grand sculptures. Jonathan or Harry will join me for dinner here and there. Even if they don't need to eat they do just to keep me company I guess. Some evenings even if they aren't with me i know Landon is there lurking in the shadows. I don't mind it though, he gives me a sense of peace and protection. Some days I'll try and hide just to give him something to do. I end up feeling bad as he comes out of his stalking around and actually becomes worried. I usually pretend I'm walking around with a book or putting something away and he just missed me. Harry is still the only one who can speak mindfully with me. The other's still in the unknown.

I'm broken out of my day dreaming by Kylo and Harry arguing. I get up tiptoeing through the maze trying to not to get caught being nosey. As I'm listening I forget to count or remember what turns I did and how many and ultimately get lost. It isn't the first time but now knowing the cheating way out I curse as I know I'm going to get twigs in my hair again and scratches everywhere.

"See what happens when you eavesdrop." I turn thinking I'd see him but he's toying with me. I know better than to get myself more lost trying to find him.
