Chapter 54


    Did he? This wasn’t really his Lily, but would it be wrong to give in for once and make love to her?


    As he pondered what to do, he allowed her to ng him deeper into the field. She sprawled on the


    ground and began to undo the buttons on the front of her dress. He knelt beside her, keeping his


    eyes on hers.


    “Lily” he whispered, reaching out to touch her face.


    She smiled up at him. “Takas”


    He held the sides of her dress together, shaking his head, “I’m sorry, Luis, but I can’t.”


    She frowned at him. “Why not? We’re mates. This is what we do.”


    He sighed and sat back on his heels. “Because you’re not my Lily. You are just the Lily that I


    thought I wanted. A teaser of the life I thought we would have.”


    Confusion crossed her face before anger took over. She rapidly buttoned her dress back up and


    jumped to her feet. Her hands balled at her side and she red at him as she furiously approached


    him.


    “THEN WHO THE FUCK’S LILY AM I?,” she screamed before throwing a punch


    He ducked, before catching the next iing fist in his hand. He pulled her down into hisp and


    wrapped his arms around her, keeping her from swinging on him again


    “I know you don’t understand what’s going on and I love every version of you in every ce you


    exist, but I’m not the Likes that was created for this version of you. My Lily is 14. She is scared of


    life and is trying to heal from horrible things that were done to her. She has to learn how to trust me.


    That is the Lily that is


    –


    Mine”


    She narrowed her eyes on him. “You would take a child over me? That is disgusting”


    He lifted his chin to look at her sternly. “I am not a pedophile. I am waiting for her to grow up. You


    on the other hand need to go find your Lukas. I’m not him,”


    He paused when he felt his physical body being jerked around. He reached for Gideon.


    ‘Wake me up.‘


    He kissed the vision Lily’s forehead and set her on the ground to get up. “I have to go.”


    “You’ll never see me again,” she threatened.


    “So, I’ve been to


    He felt Gideon


    told, GIDEON! NOW! WAKE ME UP!,” he shouted


    ??


    trying to wake up, but the Lily here kept tugging on his leg.


    “Please, don’t leave me. Stay here with me. We can have eternity together, here.”


    here,” she begged


    He tried to dislodge himself as fear exploded in the mind link he had developed with Lily.


    “GIDEON!”


    I can’t Lakes. Something is keeping you there.”


    He looked down at Elly stilltugging on his leg and he cursed as he reached down for her. He pulled


    her up.


    “I’m sorry, but my Lily needs me.”


    He let his hand shift and in one swift movement sced through her neck, separating her head from


    her body.


    He was ripped from dreand back to the present. Lily was thrashing on hisp, screaming. Her


    fist connected with his chin and his head was forced back, making him bite his tongue. He cursed


    softly. He grabbed her hands and leaned down to her face. Gideon breathed out and his fire was


    absorbed into her body. She calmed down and he rocked her slowly, holding her close as he


    murmured softly to her.


    “Shhh, baby. It’s okay. I got you.”


    “My fire will keep her asleep. I’ll keep the bad dreams away, Gideon whispered in despair. “I want to


    hurt him so bad. She doesn’t deserve this.”


    He ran his fingers over her face. “No, she doesn’t and I fully agree with you. If he was still alive, he


    would be in the dungeon with her parents.


    What do we do?


    “We hold her tonight and tomorrow we talk to Kr


    About what?


    We may not be able to punish that asshole, but


    can have Kni help us punish the fuckers who gave her to him.”


    “What are you going to do?


    To going to have Kni show them ber memories and make them feel everything she did.” He put


    his cheek on the top of her head. ‘Make it clear to them just how bad they messed up


    |


    He settled back against the couch and closed his eyes. He prayed he could go back to sleep and


    that she would not have any more dreams.


    He was standing behind a small figure in the rain and all that kept them from getting soaked was a


    stic trash bag. He reached out to touch the figure, but they took off walking. They nced behind


    themselves and he was stunned to see it was Lily. He fell into step beside her as she nervously


    looked over her shoulder reportedly. Eskas tumed around to look, too. There was nobody behind


    them. He eyed her.


    “Baby what are you said of?” he asked.


    Sheen sig of hearing him and he cursed. He followed her for about five minutes before a car pulled


    up. Jo wound the window down and smiled at her.


    “Hey, Lily girl. Want a ride? You shouldn’t be walking in the rain.”


    Lily looked over her shoulder again before jumping in the car. Lukas reached for the door handle,


    but he slid right through it tond on the seat. Lily took the bag off and shovered to raised an


    eyebrow at her.


    “Are your cold?”


    Lily nodded to breathed out and the air in the car heated about 10 degrees. Lily gave her a grateful


    smile.


    “Thanks, Ja”


    “Anytime.”


    Jo started driving again while Lily nervously yed with the hem of her shirt. “Can I ask you


    something? I mean, you can say no and I would be okay. I just…”


    “What’s up, honey?”


    “We have to write reports on a strong female and I was wondering if I could do mine on you. I


    mean, I would have t


    to interview you and stuff”


    Jed. “Of course. It would be my honor.”


    “Thank you”

    Lily looked out of the window, watching the droplets run down the ss. “Hey, Jo. Can I ask you


    something?”


    “Sure”


    She fell silent and he could see her nervousness. “Never mind. It’s stupid.”


    “There are no stupid questions, Lily Only stupid answers.”


    “Umm, alright then. I think I have a crush on Lukas a


    and I mean there are certain things that have happened that make me think that maybe he likes


    me, too.” She blushed and closed her eyes. “Do you know if he does or am I just stupid for thinking


    that?”


    He turned to re at fo. She better answer her right or he was color to fix


    “I think the king would want to tell you how he feels himself” She paused. “But I will tell you that I


    have never seen him want to be around someone as much as he wants to be around you. Not even


    me”


    by turned in her seat to look at her. “Do you think if I asked him toe see me, he would?”


    Jo smiled. “Ask and see. I’m sure your father will let you call him.”


    She frowned and Lukas wished that she had told to then what went on at home.


    “Yeah, he sure will =


    Gideon pulled him from her dream by forcing him to wake up.


    “You’re invading her privacy.


    “I didn’t push into her dream. She pulled me.”


    “Doesn’t matter. That’s her space.”


    Lukas groaned, knowing he was night, but hating it. He nced at the clock. 5 AM. She would be


    waking up soon and he would have to go. He sighed. It was better he savored the feel of her in his


    arms. Who knew if he would ever be lucky enough to have her there again. The Goddess seemed


    to think that they would only have tonight, but he refused to believe that. He kissed her forehead


    and she nuzzled into his chest. She didn’t act like she didn’t want him. She also hadn’t said she


    didn’t. She had asked him to stay. That meant something, right? He had to keep hope that they


    would be together and no matter how long it took, he was determined to trust her.
