LOGINSome things were unattainable...or rather forbidden. Lex Greyson, fell squarely into that category. And from Isis' perspective, indulging in forbidden fruits always led to pain and suffering and she was prepared to bear the backlash. That would be less painful than staying away from him.
View MoreLex clenched his fists at his side as he watched Isis exit his office. He felt as if his jaw would break under the pressure of his clenched teeth. That was not how he had planned his first meeting with Isis after the incident. He covered his eyes with a hand and sighed in frustration.Tatiana closed the distance and stood behind him, he could feel her presence, it was stifling.

She had sought refuge in the library, a necessary means of avoiding Alex and Oliver but her attempts were futile."Whatever it is, the answer is no." She responded decisively only to be rewarded with the sound of his rich laughter as he eased down next to her. For the past three days, Oliver and Alex used their efforts to ensure that Isis was never alone.

She was drifting further into unconsciousness but she was too tired to care. Her eyelids were heavy, her limbs no longer listening to her mind's command to move, to shake off the chains of restlessness.With an earthshattering shake, she was released and reality came into focus. "Falling asleep at school now?" Oliver's rich humor-filled baritone brought her to the realization that he had taken a seat beside her.
