"I love you, Valentine." I smiled into his chest, finally at peace that I knew where I belonged which was by his side "I love you more than gummy bears."

A chuckle filled my ear and I smiled as I snuggled into him further.

I pulled back and added, "I would not have ran three miles from Lana's house to the beach for just anybody."

Silence filled the air.

Then a growl shook the large chest.

"You did fucking what." His deep anger filled tone was a dead giveaway that he was still insistent that I should be resting with my injuries.

I should probably not have said that.

Chapter Sixty

Chapter Sixty

I looked at his furious face and laughed nervously "You are going to be late. Let's go."

Stone moved my legs so they were dangling in the air and then he adjusted me so I was in his arms bridal style. I rolled my eyes at his antics before I kissed his frown.

"Medusa, you are not leaving bed for a week."

"The day I listen to you is the day I grow taller than you." I said while poking his chest and attempting to compete with his glare "Never."

His mouth twitched and he was holding back a smile.

A cough interrupted our staring contest.

That was when I noticed Brennan had been there the whole time.

He shook his head at the both of us while wearing his own signature grin as he pointed out "That was the most warped romantic moment I have ever seen. It was like the notebook but with much more threats of violence."

A laugh escaped me before I maintained a serious face as I said to the guy who's chest I was pressed to "You have to let me go."

"No."

"Lurch, I will be in the audience."  I reassured him while shamelessly feeling up his bare chest "I am not going anywhere."

Brennan spoke up "She will be with me."

Stone dragged his attention away from me as he grumbled “You will not let her out of your sight. If one hair on her head is touched—"

"Yes. Yes. I know. I am a dead man" Brennan recited like it was a written rule.

"You are insane," I stared up at the murderous expression as I told Stone "but I will keep you."

He left a kiss on my forehead before he affirmed "You have no choice in the matter. I am yours."

Once the giant had set me down on the ground, the realisation hit me about what I was about to walk into. What I was about to watch.

I clung onto his large arms in an attempt to keep him by my side.

"I am coming back to you." Stone assured, picking up on my unwillingness to let him go.

I nodded and let my hold on him go hesitantly.

Brennan and I made our way towards the crowd meanwhile Stone headed off somewhere else.
