I went to bring my foot down on his throat, but Hawke caught it and pulled. I went down, landing on my side. Pain flared, but I ignored it as I slammed my fist into his side.
“Damn,�� Kieran drew the word out.
“Should we intervene?�� Delano asked, sounding concerned.
“No,�� Elijah answered with a chuckle. “This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. Who would’ve thought the Maiden could throw down?��

“That was very naughty,�� Hawke chided, snatching the sword out of my hand as if I hadn’t been holding onto it. “You are so incredibly violent.�� He dipped his chin and whispered “It still turns me on.��
A scream of fury tore out of me as I jabbed my elbow out and up, snapping Hawke’s head back. “Dammit,�� he said, coughing—no, laughing. “Didn’t change what I just said.��

Hawke might not be 100% sane...

I bet you’re as sweet as honeydew.


Please Hawke, come and help me relax so I can fall asleep too... 🥵🔥🔥

“You can’t sleep beside me,�� I hissed.
“I’m not.�� With the edge of his blanket in hand, he draped it, along with his arm, over me. The heavy weight of his appendage settled at my waist, stunning me for a few precious moments.
“What do you call this, then?��
“I’m sleeping with you.��
My eyes opened wide. “How is that any different?��
“There’s a huge difference.��

🤭🤭

“I don’t want you getting too cold,�� he added, his breath warm against my temple. He was so much taller, even sitting as straight as I was, my head still didn’t reach his chin. “I feel like that’s an important part of my duty as your personal Royal Guard.��
“Is that what you’re doing right now? Protecting me from the cold by pulling me into your lap?��

Naughty Hawke being all inappropriate... 🤭

He and I were never going to speak about this diary again.


Oh, my sweet summer child... If only you knew... 😂

“I hate you.��
“No, you don’t.��
“And I’m about to stab you,�� I warned. “In a very violent manner.��
Concern flickered across his face as he lowered the book. “Now that, I believe.��


And thus begins the long journey of The Diary of Miss Willa Colyns with Poppy and Hawke 😅

“I ask only one thing of you.�� He rose, and I prepared for him to tell me to stay away from the Rise. I’d probably tell him I would. Of course, I wouldn’t, and I didn’t think he’d believe me. “The next time you go out, wear better shoes and thicker clothing. Those slippers are likely to be the death of you, and that dress…the death of me.��


🥵 Oh how I love Hawke and his smooth talk...

“You’re so incredibly violent.�� He paused. “I think I like it.��


I missed Hawke... 💜 🖤 🤍

“You know what I think?��
“I’m half afraid to hear it.��
Her brown eyes glimmered. “Things are about to get so much more exciting around here.��


Indeed they are, because HAWKE IS FINALLY THERE!!! 🥰
