Yours Forever, Dragonfly.

Part 17

S

It's been a couple days since they brought me back to Owen's house and to say I'm going stir crazy is an understatement. The men have been running around like a chicken with their heads cut off, they won't even let me help at all, those overprotective brutes.

I can't say that I have not been becoming fond of all these amazing men. Of course, I find them all attractive but their minds are what really have me captivated. Never in my life have I seen such selfless people, the way they look after Sean's sleeping habits, how North looks after his brother's appetite, or the way Marc stays up late making coffee for Corey who is constantly on his computer working away.

This family care and love each other immensely, I find myself getting a little jealous of them. When will I be able to find people who love me just as much as they love each other.

I'm sitting in the dining room with a book in my hand while Corey and victor keep their eyes glued onto their computer screens. I'm just getting into the good part of my erotica novel where the gorgeous male is fighting with the main character then their anger turns into passion which mean they are about to do the nasty. Tap, tap, tap.

Trying to ignore the ferocious typing being done by Victor, I start reading again how the man rips her clothes of- tap, tap, tap.

Not being able to stand it any longer I fling the book at the wall, "can you be any louder?" I say while getting up from my chair, muttering "Javier and Sarah were just about to bang" while walking out of the room.

"What just happened?" "Who is Javier and Sarah?" I hear Corey and Victor ask at the same time but I just ignore them.

Leaning my back against the wall in the hallway I slide down onto the dark wood floors and rest my forehead on my knees, exhaling noisily from my mouth.

Letting myself just think for a second I instantly feel bad about being so rude to Victor and Corey, they don't deserve to have me lash out at them because I can't handle my emotions.

My life is a complete and utter mess. I had to take a leave of absence from work, the life I have set up here is in shambles, and someone out there is trying to kill me! What's next? Jane has always made my life a living hell and will continue to do so until I die, scratch that, until she kills me. I just want a happy life.

I feel movement next to me as someone slides down the wall to sit the same way I am. The whiff of vanilla let's me know that it's Luke and I take a quick peek at his long gorgeous hair twisted into a bun, the sweet chocolate colored eyes peering at me with kindness.

I feel a tear slide down my face and right as it's passing my cheek Luke leans in and kisses it. "Even your tears are sweet, cupcake."

Not being able to help it, I let out a giggle and he takes that as permission to put his arm around my shoulder drag me closer to him.

"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" Luke whispers while leaning his head onto mine.

Wanting to open up to someone I tell him how I've been feeling about the whole situation and the need to be doing something useful. Then I tell him personal information about myself, my first kiss, embarrassing stories, and what my favorite color is. He tells me of things that interest him, the recent pranks he's been pulling on his brothers, and his childhood.
