Coveted

|Chapter 17

A/N: *Okay so I'm not going to talk forever up here but I do wanna start off by saying a massive thank you to everyone that helped out! You guys really gave me some things to think about and some solid advice, it really helped in the end. So Coveted will continue to stay on Wattpad. It just feels right to me. Maybe one day with hard work and dedication, it'll find itself on wattpads pay-to-read programme when it's up and running. I guess I'm just a wattpad kinda girl but at the same time- I MIGHT be passing over one of my other stories that have been on the backburn for a while now that has been getting some attention from other places depending on the contract and deal offered to me. Right now it's a no though. Might as well give this opportunity ago if I get the right deal and see if I can make it onto a pay-to-read programme and maybe learn some things for the future of my writing without losing a piece of work I truly, truly love on a platform I truly love. Wattpad will remain a priority over any site! Especially Coveted (I actually want to finish this book and be proud of it in the end). If this does happen I'll be posting on the story concerned with an update with all the info. Again that's IF it happens.

So yes- Coveted will remain on this platform!! Along with me haha - wattpad continues and probably always will continue to be mine and my stories home.*

ALSO CHECK OUT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER - I HAVE SOME FUN NEWS FOR Y'ALL!

"Nah dude, you don't have to explain. It's on me for just busting in there like Indiana Jones." He said quickly. With that I didn't know what to say- I mean he literally just caught me screwing his brother! The awkward silence lodged itself between us as my eyes flew to the ground, my newly healed leg twirling the dead leaves before he added,

"Wanna play some video games?"

"Hell yeah," I breathed out with relief. At least it wasn't awkward? "I'll just um," I started, pointing backward at the tent as I stumbled a little over my words. "Grab my jacket?"

With a chuckle Jeremy shrugged his shoulders, his lips tugging at the corners. "Are you asking me or . . ." Way to go Nancy.

" Right. I'll be right back." I added with a nervous laugh before spinning around and heading back in to see Shane searching through a draw still shirtless. I stopped dead in my tracks, my lips closing and opening a few times still dumbfounded by his chest. Why was this still a thing?! He chuckled stepping away from the chest of draws and walking towards my jacket discarded on the ground by the mattress.

"Here," he said, his voice gentle as he helped pull my Jacket on.

"Thank you," I managed to whisper as I looked up at him, his hands resting on my shoulders holding me in front of him as his lips suddenly closed the gap between us. For that firey second the whole world melted away once more, my body buzzing with electricity and my insides melt. He always managed to take all the negative away with just a touch but when kisses me? My blood goes crazy, my whole being just wanting to melt into him like silk forever.

"I'll see you tonight," he murmured against my lips before pulling away giving me that award-winning smile. All I could do was nod lazily before forcing my feet to make their way back outside to Jeremy.

We headed straight for the main road where the taxi waited and I hurried in letting my eyes focus on the passing scenes as usual until the thought of Regan and Ian hit me. My head spun to the side to face Jeremy, my chest filling with panic suddenly. "Is Ian and Regan home?" I managed to force out surprised at how easily the words just fell out rather than coming out like a jumbled mess.
