Chapter 13: Ayla

Theo and I took the morning off from training. My body needed the break to recover. It was nice to sleep in a little, but I didn’t get to for long. Before my first class, I had to go down to the cellar for a little while. I had been studying Harry’s notebook whenever I had a little free time, and something had been bugging me. This first week of school would be hectic, and I had scheduled some time down there next week, but I didn’t want to wait that long.

I grabbed my toast from the toaster as Theo emerged from our bedroom. He just woke up and was only wearing sweats that hung low on his hips, making it hard to keep my plans.

“I thought you didn’t have class for a couple more hours,” he asked.

said.

He brushed my hair off my shoulder. “Do you want me to come with you? I could use a catch–up on how things are going.”

“Hmm… You sure you can spare the time?” I teased.

His hands went around my waist, pulling me toward him. “I can rearrange some things.”

“Oh,” I replied coyly, “I feel so special.”

Theo growled low, his lips taking mine. He kissed me needily for a few moments before pulling back reluctantly.

“I hate how crazy things have been lately,” he said.
