So This Is How They Met (Novella 2.5)

Chapter 8 - Max

"I've got a plan."

Bianca nods. "I'm listening."

"There's an exit down the hallway. There's only usually one guard there. If one of us gets there then maybe we can get help."

"How do we get to the exit though?" Bianca asks.

I lean in closer. "I'll be unchained and attack them and you'll have to make a run for it. There's an axe in the bathroom near the hallway. They kill people there. Grab the axe, don't look at the bodies. Use that axe on the guy and run for it."

"How do you know this?" She asks.

"Two years I've been here," I reply. " I've seen things."

She nods. "When?"

I shake my head. "Not any time soon. We need to pick a time when they won't come in groups. Maybe just one or two people. It'll be easier and more logical to go with the plan."

I pull her into a hug as she rests her head on my shoulder. "I don't think your family will ever accept me."

I look at her and notice her genuine concern. "Didn't you say that Sam really cares for you. They'll love you. I mean if I love you then they will definitely love you."

She half heartedly smiles. "I don't know."

"I know," I whisper in her ears.

I turn her to face me as I kiss her lightly before pulling her closer and kissing her more passionately. Her hand rests on my chest and I guide her hand across my bare chest. I can see the blush forming on her cheeks but I think it's incredibly sexy.

I turn her until her back hits to ground and I lean on top of her. "You look hot when you feel helpless."

She pushes at my chest but I don't budge. "Someone may come."

"Good save," I say as I kiss her lips then trail down to her neck before pulling her up. "We'll save it for next time."

She blushes. "Now that I've got you, I can't imagine life without you. It's like your embedded into every breath of mine."
