Chapter 17

Maeve was reading in her little den and was thinking -What if there all plotting against me, what if Apollo kills someone...what if he kills Alice- Maeve growled then heard someone knock on her open door. "Hey, you got a second?" Maeve nodded but stayed cautious, luckily Apollo didn't notice, "You know that night when we uh, kissed," he said quietly as he closed the door. Maeve blushed and looked away from him, "Maybe" He looked at her bed, asking to sit and she nodded. He sat down next to her and said "then tell...what are we?"

Maeve blushed more but inhaled calmed down. I'll be completely honest with you, we are still friends because I am not ready for a relationship during all this, I want to end this war before it gets worse. My parents made a mistake, so I am going to finish since my mother couldn't."Apollo didn't get what she meant at first but then realized"Y-your not thinking about doing what I think your thinking about doing, right?"Maeve looks down and says nothing."Maeve that's suicide!"He grabs Maeve and he grabs her face, "Y-you can't leave me, please"Maeve tried to shake him off but he hugged her and she couldn't get out of his grip, she was silent for a minute but then she spoke with tears."I won't leave, I'm sorry for thinking I should." He hugged her tight and then pushed his arms out for a sec, looking into her eyes, he leaned in and their lips were so close. Maeve's lips looked so shiny and smooth that he felt like he was being put into a trance, he was about to kiss her tell she covered his mouth. "N-not right now, uh please"

his ears went down and she felt bad, "Oh you dummy!"

She grabbed his face and kissed him, hard and full of passion, she put her arms around his neck and he put his hands around her waist. They kissed and kissed, touching lips and tongues intertwined until finally, Maeve pulled Apollo onto the bed and she smiled and waited. He was blushing, hovering over her, and finally, after staring he kissed her lips, her cheek, her neck, and then took her shirt off slowly. He looked at her for consent and she nodded, he let his hands glide down her little waist and then he kissed from her neck to her collar bone, and then kissed the top of her chest. He licked up to her neck and then kissed her luscious lips, he slid his hands up her stomach and as she did a little giggle he groped her soft breast.

He kissed her while he groped, and then put his knee in between her legs and all was going so well until someone dropped a book by the door and both Maeve and Apollo looked up, and there in the doorway, was Isaac.

Apollo quickly got up and said "So uh goodnight Maeve" He nervously laughed and fast-walked away. Isaac blinked then went over to Maeve and pinned her back down on the bed, "Did my kiss mean nothing to you?"He growled and she gave him a pitying look, "I thought me pushing you away meant I didn't feel the same"

He gripped her wrists tight and she squeaked in pain, "I-Isaac that h-hurts" He realized and let her go, he was still pissed off."I won't tell anyone but you better watch who you kiss, Your grandparents chose ME to be your husband, so you better watch it."

"But I already told you I-"He kissed her forcefully and then left."And here I thought I'd be free from this..." she curled into a ball and cried herself to sleep wondering

"What do I do?"
