The Rock's of Beauty by Meghan Escott (books for new readers TXT) 📕

I got a shooting pain on my left foot.
“What's happening?” Eric bent down and asked softly.
“Tattoo must have changed. Check my back for me?” I turned my back to him and he swore in a language I didn't recognise.
“It's the Chinese symbol for hate.” We both looked at Sam as we both knew that he had influenced the changing of my tattoo's.
“When are these thing's going to stop?” I asked Eric.
“When you have no more skin left to change.” He said bluntly and looked down at my foot. It was covered in a black mess that was have to change soon. Eric helped me up. “Why don't we take you back to my room?” Eric asked me and I nodded. Eric nodded at The Head and he started speaking,
“None of this matter leaves these four walls. If you hear people gossiping you will say that Lucy and Eric were boxing and Lucy undoubtedly lost. If anything of this matter leaves this room, you will have me and Lucy to deal with.” Eric said to the silenced people. He then led me from the room and out into the hallway.
“You made quite an impact in the hall with the fire. Everyone is talking about how powerful you are.”
“Good. No one should mess with me.”
“Why was the fire that big thought? It isn't usually.”
“I was angry.”
“At who?”
“Sam.”
“What did he do?” I told Eric the whole story and he nodded gently and squeezed my hand quickly before opening the door to his room for me. I smiled a little at him and walked in after him and sat on the floor in the middle of the room.
“Do you have any white candles?” I asked Eric quietly.
“Yeah. I have about ten. That okay?”
“Yes. Thank you.” Eric then walked out of his living room and to a cupboard where he removed ten candles and set them in a circle around me. I nodded to him and then I lit the white candles and inhaled the relaxing sent of burning,
“Move some of the candles and sit with me.” I said to Eric who immediately got up and moved the candles around so that they were in a circle around us. I held his hands and raised our clasped hands above my head. I muttered a fire spell and fire surrounded our hands but not burning Eric, just burning me. I closed my eyes and I embraced the pain.
The fire spread all around us but only burning me. It didn't touch my clothes or my hair, just my skin was burnt.
I muttered a wind spell and we were both engulfed in a tornado which once again only hurt me. Then water came and encircled us, splashing against me, cutting my skin. Then the earth shook violently around us, throwing me about everywhere.
I stood up and pulled Eric up with me.
“Help me.” I said to him weakly. He nodded and pulled our clasped hands apart.
“Cleanse her from the beast but no harm should come to the butterflies deep within her waiting to immerse.” Eric shouted again the elements disappeared making me feel completely drained of energy and made me wish I hadn't stood up. I fell to the floor and all the candles had gone out. Eric sat down next to me and whispered in my ear.
“You have to be saved Lucy.” He touched my face gently and slowly healed the burned and the cuts that were all over my body. I didn't let him touch me inappropriately and I didn't let him heal the cut from Murray. He had told me to keep it open to make it scar.
“Saved from what Eric?”
“Why didn't you allow me to get hurt by the elements?” He asked in return slowly touching my face and brushing my eyelids shut and kissing them in turn.
“I am not royalty. You should not be kissing my eyes like they are something special.”
“I don't care what you are Lucy. You're special to me.” Eric brushed some stray hair from my face and then quickly withdrew his hand, cradling it like something had burned him.
“Some thing’s wrong with Kahn.” He said quickly and pushed me away with a spell. I screamed at him but he ignored me and disappeared out of his door. I closed my eyes and envisaged Kahn in my head. I clicked my fingers and was transported to his side.
Chapter Eighteen

Sam was on the floor with his head cracked open and blood pouring from the wound. Eric was cradling Kahn who was covered in blood and The Head was stood in the corner with blood on his hands.
I ran with vamp speed to Eric and Kahn and took Kahn from his hands. He was coughing and it sounded like he was choking. I cut my wrist and put it to his mouth and he instantly swallowed and drunk my blood. Eric helped me over to a chair and I collapsed into it while Kahn still drunk from me.
Sam was starting to heal and wake up. He was already sat up and facing me. His eyes were pure black and they were evil. He stood up and appeared in front of me.
“We need to talk about our future. Meet me in the hall.” He whispered in my ear and then ran out of the room. I sighed and gave Kahn back to Eric and stood up. I started to follow Sam out of the room but The Head grabbed me and pulled me back.
“You can't go on your own.”
“He's my fiancé and we're getting married soon. I think I can handle him.”
“You couldn't handle him this morning.”
“ That was a cheap shot. And I'm going.” I ran out of the room before The Head or Eric could stop me and I ran all the way to the hall. Sam was waiting for me.
“We need to leave this place. People know too much about you to leave us alone. We need to leave this school and go to another school where no one knows anything about you and us. But that's only if you still want to marry me after earlier.” Sam said to me quickly taking my hands into his and squeezing so tight.
I let go of his right hand and lifted my left up to his face and drew the intricate and exquisite design on his left cheek finally reaching the centre of the spider and to the heart. I reached up to his cheek and went to my tip toes. I kissed the heart in the centre of his mark and then slowly looked into his eyes. I deliberately took my eyes down to his lips, lingered there for a moment or two and took my eyes back up to his. I lent my lips into his ear and slowly whispered into his ears.
“Kiss me.”
He followed my instruction almost instantaneously and gripped my neck and kissed my lips.
His moist lips touched mine and a shiver was sent down my spine. Sam's fingernail followed the shiver and cut slightly into my back. I moaned with the pleasure and as my mouth opened, Sam's tongue slithered into my mouth to touch my tongue. I eagerly touch his tongue with mine and I slowly let my hand caress his lower back.
It was now Sam's time to moan with pleasure and he pressed his lips harder on mine, nibbling slightly on my lips.
Name somewhere to go that cannot be destructed. I have a feeling that some elements are going to get involved.
Somewhere no one can intrude. Somewhere deserted.
I continued kissing and touching Sam while I transported us to the most beautiful forest nature had ever created. There were beautiful tree's everywhere creating a pathway to a clearing just made for us to enter. I pulled my lips away from Sam's and took his hand, pulling him down the pathway and into the clearing. He smiled at me and allowed himself to be pulled by me.
When we entered the clearing, the atmosphere suddenly changed, I breathed in and out, hearing Sam do the same and smiled into the sky. Sam picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist while leaning down to his face to kiss his lips. He kissed me passionately back and lowered me to the surprisingly fluffy and soft floor.
Sam kept on kissing me, all over my body which he was slowly revealing, piece by piece. First he removed my shirt, undoing the buttons slowly and deliberately and then pulling it off and discarding it somewhere amongst the trees. I then started to undo his buttons, one by one slowly revealing the astonishing body that I knew was underneath but had not seen in too long. As I got the last button and finished releasing the button, Sam lowered his body onto mine. I quickly removed his shirt and discarded it in the trees with mine.
I scratched his back, making it bleed slightly as he moved his hands and undid my jeans buttons and slide them effortlessly off of my legs. I slid my hands down his body and started to fiddle with his button on his trousers. I could feel my face tense with the strength it was taking me not to scream.
“Lucy, calm down. Relax your beautiful face. I can do it.” He moved my hands away from his buttons and carefully caressed my face, relaxing it just like he suggested. He took one hand away and undid his button and slipped his trousers off and threw them into the distance with the rest of our clothes. Now I was laying on the ground of the forest with only my bra and underwear on and Sam with only his boxers. I smiled up at him and he smiled down at me.
“Are you sure?” He asked me gently as he slid his hand to the back of my bra and slowly caressed while he waited for my answer. I nodded my head as I could not speak and he undid the bra and threw it with the rest of the clothes. The earth started to shudder and the trees moved unsteadily from side to side. “I will protect you.” Sam whispered in my ear and I was no longer afraid. I slid his boxers off and he slid my underwear off and kept them close by.
The wind changed from a gentle breeze to a whirlwind around us. This made petals from flowers to break off of their flowers and float in the wind. The trees swayed more violently and threatened to fall but I wasn't scared because Sam was there. He looked at me and his eyes bared into mine. He position himself near to the entrance and waited for me to approve. I nodded my head and he slowly entered me.
Fire, wind and earth engulfed us and we made love to each other and water eased the pain that took
