Fractured (by N.O Darling) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339

Chapter 18

** Dillon’s POV **

My mind still reels knowing that Chase is a part of our bond group. I thought Finley was a terrible fit for Harper, but Chase is even worse.

I wish there was a way I could fix this for her. She is so sweet and quiet. Chase is an angry asshole with major control issues and Finley is a loud mouth that can’t keep himself out of trouble. How is this going to work?

I guess I just have to trust in the fates and hope they know what they’re doing. Maybe Harper is exactly what Finley and Chase need. Maybe she is the only one who can tame Chase’s beast, because I’ve never seen him come back from being so close to a shift.

Harper had done it though, she had done the impossible and calmed him enough to pull him from the edge of his control.

Finley had shown a different side of himself tonight, too. It’s usually him that pushes Chase over that edge, but tonight he had seemed genuinely concerned for Harper and had tried to help rather than make things worse.

He also hadn’t been keen to leave our apartment, especially when he heard Harper on the phone mentioning she has four bonds. Archie and I had to physically stop him from bursting into her room to ask if he was her bond. We had to bribe him with a seat at our table for breakfast to convince him to leave.

After half an hour without Harper coming back out of her room, we go to check on her and find her bedroom empty. The shower in her bathroom is running.

“Should we leave?” Archie asks.

“No, I doubt she wants to be alone tonight, plus she left the bedroom door unlocked. If she didn’t want us in here, I think she would have locked it.”

“True, let’s wait for her to come out and see if she wants us to stay or if she would rather be alone,” Archie nods, taking a seat on the end of her bed.

I move to sit beside him and blow out a breath. “How long do you think we have before Finley and Chase move in here?”

“A few days at most. I can’t imagine either of them being patient about this,” Archie sights.

“Me either. They’ve both been waiting a few years to find their bond.”

“Are they in the same year?”

“No, Finley has just started his third year here, and I think Chase is in his fourth.”

We hear the water shut off and go silent, watching the bathroom door.

When Harper steps out of the steamy bathroom, I feel as though something has sucked all the breath from my body and all the blood rushes to my crotch.

She has a white towel wrapped around her body, barely covering her. I gulp as my imagination runs wild with all the things I want to do to her. With just one small tug on the towel, she could be standing completely naked in

front of us.

“Are you okay?” Archie asks, his voice sounding a little strained.

“Yes,” she nods, still standing in the bathroom doorway.” you are willing, I’d really like to bond with you both,” she adds, her gaze lowering as if she is ashamed.

I have to fight the urge to jump up and run to her. I’m not sure about Archie, but I am more than willing

“Are you sure?” Archie asks, standing from the bed and moving slowly towards her.

Her eyes lift to meet his, full of determination, and then she nods. She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and when Archie leans down to kiss her; I become frozen in place. Captivated by watching them make out.

Harper moves her hand to the waistband of Archie’s pants and I almost groan at imagining her do that to me.

When Archie’s hand works its way beneath her towel, Harper lets out a gasp, breaking their kiss.

She stares into my eyes with a fierce heat as Archie pleasures her for the first time. Her eyes call to me like a siren, demanding I help her find her release. My body reanimates, releasing me from the crippling desire that was holding me in place, and her eyes track me as I move towards her.
