Between Me And Her

Chapter 8

Reyna

"Fuck you. Fine. You take Reyna and I will take the guard." Damien told Aylin after ten minutes of arguing who will be stuck with the Leonard.
I was upset they treated him like that, but I really didn't want to interfere. I was on Aylin's side. I really wanted to be on her horse wigh her

I guess none of them wanted one of us this close to them, and it makes sense that Damien wanted Selina to be alone since he loves her. Or at least that's what he tells everyone.

It seems to annoy Aylin, but I can tell she doesn't want anyone to know. Luckily, I am good at reading people. At least I think I am. I never met enough people to know for sure.

"Get up here." Aylin, who was already on the horse, ordered.

I got on the back of the horse behind her, complying like a good girl. She makes me feel stuff and I am here for it. She told me to be in front of her, I guess they still don't trust us and need to look at us at any given moment.
I will make sure to change that. I want to belive that one day we would all be friends and everyone will trust everyone but for now this is good enough.

It took a few more minutes for everyone to get ready before we started riding. As we got on our way, Aylin had to cover me with her body to reach for the reins since I was in the middle.

I felt her hands around me covering my body with hers. Her strong hands around me, surrounding me and making me feel safe, like no one could touch me as long as she is here. I know that's not true, because obviously if the king comes she won't be able to protect me, but it still felt so safe and warm to be this close to her.

This is exactly what I ached for since we met. The need and wanting of her around me has clouded my mind, making it almost impossible to think of anything that isn't her.

I felt her curvy figure around me, and my mind was blank of everything but her. Her eyes, her face, her body... all around me while all I could think about was how much I want to feel her even closer than this, and to know she is reaching for me and not the reins.

I had never felt like this for a person, only for her and I just wanted more.
More of her. I was ready to do whatever it takes just to make her mine.

Selina was on her horse a few meters away from us, after her was the horse carrying Damien and Leonard. Aylin and I were the last ones, meaning that we could talk freely. There was a lot of space between us and the rest so I used the oppoturnity to get to know Aylin better.

"Do you have any family?" I asked.

"Not for a very long time. Your father made sure of that." Confusion surrounded me for a moment until I realized she wasn't talking about my father, she was talking about the king.

"He is not my father" I said confidently.

"Sure, princess." she sighed.

"He isn't. He captured my father, killed my mother, Captured me too. I am not even a princess when you think about it"

She was quiet for a second, then responded.

"This is not a competition, princess. But I still win" she said and I rolled my eyes in annoyence.

"How old were you?" I asked, going back to our conversation about her family.

I lost my mom and it was devestating, but she lost her entire family in a moment. That must ruin a person completely, the pain must be unbearable.

"Thirteen" she answered, and I knew it hurt her to talk about it.

"Why?" I had to ask.

"I messed with the wrong people."
