Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2 Layna Snow (feel good books .txt) 📖

knew that they would protect her and she knew that they would do a lot for her. These past few hours were anything but predictable, and she could feel her energy draining along with her anxiety.

Adrian chuckled as he stumbled farther into the room, his movements jerky. “Looks like Death is eager to see you too, Babe. Maybe you should peel yourself off of me and give him a nice ‘Hello’, before he starts to get jealous, hmm?”

She could hear the growl from beside them and looked up to see the big black man looking down at her. His eyes were hot, and… happy? It made her chuckle silently. As if she would forget him!

Sophie let go of Adrian and he reluctantly lowered her the few inches to her feet. He didn’t seem to want to release her and to be fair, she didn’t want to go. She wanted to be pressed to his body for a long time, but she wasn’t going to ignore Thane. And she wanted to be pressed to him just as badly.

She didn’t even get close to him yet when he rushed forward the last few steps and swung her up into his tight embrace.

He was shirtless and she felt a powerful serenity wash over her as she pressed against his warm skin. This was where she wanted to be. These men were who she wanted to keep her safe, were who she wanted to spend time with.

She pressed a kiss to one large hard peck before running her cheek over it. She could feel his heart beating, could feel how strong and powerful it was. It was comforting, reassuring, soothing. It was like a balm for her soul, his scent washing away the thick, darkness that clung to her still.

“Sorry,” he grunted, and she could feel his lips press to her hair in a gentle kiss. She wanted to soak it up, but she couldn’t let him think it was his fault.

Soph shook her head, pressing another kiss to his chest. He didn’t do anything wrong. He tried to protect her, but there were too many of them and they were in a tunnel with two sides and no place for her to hide. It was she who was sorry, who should feel guilty. She was the one who didn’t bring anything to the table. She should have protected herself. Or maybe it was the fact that she brought danger to them at all.

”I’m sorry too,” she mouthed against him, hoping that he understood. Hoping that he’d forgive her. That they both would.

“I can’t wait to get you back to the cave, get you some place where we can strip you and show you not to worry us so much.” Adrian said, his tone lighter. “I didn’t get to fuck you, and after all that training I put in, I deserve something, don’t I?”

Sophie’s heart sank a little. And she really didn’t know why.

She didn’t even hear Thane’s growl, or see Sin roll his eyes.

Didn’t know what she expected. She knew that Adrian was only in it for the sex. She knew that he wouldn’t feel anything for her. They did this a lot, he even told her that the afternoon when they trained. He was a player, and she was a convenient body.

But she had hoped, in vain obviously, that things were different. That she was different. She could actually see herself falling for these guys. They were larger than life, filled her in more ways than just physical.

But this wasn’t a romance book. And she shouldn’t expect happy endings where everything worked out. This was life. She’d have to guard herself better in the future.

But they didn’t have a future. She’d have to tell them that when they returned. It was time for her to leave.

“Fine… time to take her back. She’ll need to walk so we can have our hands free to fight. You can walk, can’t you Phie?” Adrian asked, and she nodded, even though she doubted that she could. Her legs were achy and weak from all the walking she had done. And she was exhausted from all the terror. Near death experiences could take a lot out of a girl!

But she would try, because they asked her to. And because she didn’t want to be a hindrance anymore. She didn’t want them to think of her as that weak woman who needed them to protect her.

Thane lowered her down, and held onto her to make sure she had her balance. After a second, he let go and nodded at Adrian.

Soph tried to keep up as they walked down the tunnel. She tried to stay between the guys but Adrian was a good few feet in front of her, and she was sure that Thanatos was struggling to walk slow enough not to bump into her. He had long legs, and she wanted to collapse on the ground and cry.

Finally, after a few kilometers, Thane took pity on her and picked her back up. She wanted to protest, but she just let her head loll against his chest as he caught up with Adrian and urged him to move faster.

She was too warn out to be grateful. Too tired to thank him. She just let things go on, because really, it didn’t seem like she had much of a choice in her destiny. Even her lucky penny had been rigged, and domineering people just continued to take over her life. So, for the next few hours, she’d let things go. She wouldn’t fight it.

And then, she’d take back her life and live it to the fullest.

She had no idea how long they walked, but finally they reached the dark hallway that lead to the guy’s cave.

Thane put her down, her hands reaching to grasp a wall in order to keep her balance. Her legs
