Hidden Desire (Hidden Series #2)

Eight

She walked past him and up to her room. If her father didn't want her there she would leave. She should have known he was too good to be true. He played her like a fiddle. She began packing her bags and was debating on where to go. She couldn't go back to her apartment because the Lessers knew where she lived. She had no other remaining family. She really needed a plan. She needed out. She turned and saw Wade standing in the door looking upset.
"Please dont leave. There isn't anywhere you can go. Its almost dawn. Please stay." He said softly.
"You heard what he said. He doesn't want me here. I broke up his marriage. Why should I stay? Because I am a tool in your fight against the omega?"
She couldn't say anymore because he was quickly in front of her and he was pulling her into his arms. Shevfeltbwarm and safe. She let the tears fall against his chest as she sobbed. He held onto her tightly and she felt her body begin to warm as if it belonged in his arms. She looked up at him and he kissed her. Fire began to spread and she gripped him tightly. The world began to spin.
"Hey Sage." She heard Butch say, "Oh um... I'll come back. Sorry."
She jumped back and turned to Butch, "It's okay. What's up?"
"Wrath wanted to speak with you." Butch said, "But I'll just tell him your busy."
"No, no I'll be right there. Let me finish packing. Five minutes. I promise." She said and turned back to her task.
She heard Butch chuckle and leave. She was embarrassed and knew that he would probably tell Wrath what he saw. She shouldn't have allowed herself to feel. That's one thing she usually kept a tight grip on.

Mary sat at her desk and tried to concentrate on the vonlunteer schedule. She needed to get it posted soon. Plus chores needed rearranging. Supplies needed ordered. She needed to focus. The door to her office opened and Marissa came in.
" Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked Mary.
"Great." She lied, "Just working on schedules."
"You are not okay. You look horrible. Please take a break. Go back and see Envee and Passion. They miss their aunt Mary."
"I can't go back. Not until he's changed."
"He's basically kicked her out. Called her a bastard and blamed her for your leaving. What more do you want?"
"He did that? Why?"
"Because you left. What did you expect if him, Mary? He loves you. You threw his past in his face. I think you need to speak with him."
"I can't. Not yet. Not until I know..."
"Know what?"
"Marissa I can't talk about it. Please I can't."
"I already know."
"How?"
"Vampire, remember? I can smell it on you. Have you seen Jane?"
"I can't. She'll tell him. I need time please. I'm not sure how this even happened."

Sage walked into Wraths office two days after the kiss with the hopes of news on a place she could move to. He sat behind his desk with Beth on his lap. Wade was there as well. She nbecame instantly nervous. Why was the whole royal family there? In the last two days she's avoided Wade and her father. She didn't want to face the things that happened. The kiss that should never have happened, the way her father called her a bastaed and blamed her for his failing marriage. She took the last empty chair and smiled at Beth.
"So we couldn't get you into Safe Place. They have a strict cerfew and with your joining the fight you would not be there for cerfew or head count. None of the other properties are secured just yet. So as of right now you have to stay here. I have V working on one of the smaller houses for you. But until then we have moved your room to the east side. Away from Rhage. Wade can show you. Your next door to his room." Said Beth.
"I see. So you I am expected to stay here with a man who despises me and the knowledge that I broke up a marriage? Can't I go to the out building? The one V uses as his offices. There's an extra room there." She said calmly.
"Its not that safe. Besides V uses that room he and Jane use it. Please forgive me. We will continue to work on a house for you. Until then we've moved your room. Wade can you show her?"
Wade stood and took her hand andbked her from the office. She pulled her hand out of his because the warm sensations were there again. She followed him through the mansion to her room.
" Why are you avoiding me?" He asked her.
"Because that kiss shouldn't have happened. You are the Prince. I work for your family. Its wrong. I can't allow that to happen again. Please excuse me." She said and walked into her room and closed the door.
She leaned against the door and let the tears fall. How she wanted to kiss him again. How she longed to be held again. How he made her feel when he held her. She wanted that feeling again. She wanted to open that door and call him back but she couldn't. She knew it was wrong. It was morally wrong. She couldn't date her bosses son. She just couldn't. She moved away from the door and turned and grabbed be knob. She pulled it opened and there he was waiting. She jumped into his arms and kissed him hard.
