Oceans Submerged: Book Two, the Oceans Series Read Online Free

when your foot or arm falls asleep when you’re sitting or sleeping funny. I felt pricks and needles everywhere; even in places you wouldn’t think you would be able to get that sensation in.
    Above all else, the pain I was in haunted me. I was afraid to completely wake up this time. My mind was so groggy, I couldn’t think about much except what was present. Trying to think about anything other than what I was able to feel and hear now would send me back into a deep sleep.
    “Hey beautiful, it’s Law your favorite...”
    That voice and those words…I recognized them this time. Law! I didn’t care how much it hurt my head anymore. I needed to get back to him; I needed to get back to my body.
    His voice soothed me as I fought against the darkness that seemed to permanently reside in my mind. The harder I fought to wake up, the more painful it became. You would think I’d be enjoying the pain I was in considering I craved it at one time.
    This pain, however, was deeper than I’d ever wanted for it to feel. It was permanent and irreversible.
    A voice that caused my body to go into a frenzy ripped through my concentration. “She’s mine, and I say call her by her fucking name!”
    OCEAN!
    I made my mind reach out to any part of me that I could feel, even a little. Finally! I’m not sure which hand it was, but I could sense the feeling start to come back to it.
    I concentrated on my fingertips willing the feeling to slowly move up my fingers, into my hands, then my wrist. My brain felt like it was going to explode at any moment but I had to try.
    Ocean sounded angry and hurt. Law sounded emotional and drained. Of course, I was always the cause of pain and hurt so I didn’t have to think too hard to realize it was me that had caused their pain and anger.
    “Just because you took the girls virginity doesn’t make her your fucking property asshole….”
    Just a little bit more. I felt my fingers move and brush up against something. The room fell quiet as I kept trying to grip whatever it was my fingers where feeling.
    Whoever’s body I was touching moved closer to me and when I finally rested my fingers on what felt like skin. I immediately recognized the shocks stinging my fingertips. It was Ocean’s body I was touching. I tried to rest my unsteady hand on his skin. Ocean’s hand took hold of mine and instantly a wave of familiarity and comfort came over me.
    “Come on Livie. Open your eyes, baby. Open them for me, please. I’ve been here with you waiting for this. Baby, open your eyes…”
    I’m trying! I’m trying damn it! What I felt next gave my body the electric jolt that it needed to comply with my demands. The familiar heat on my neck was what finally fused my mind back to my body.
    My eyes fluttered open and I blinked wildly unable to control them. White lights and blurred spots were all I could make out at first. I tried to clear out the fuzzy spots but my eyes just kept blinking on their own.
    I felt a warm sensation on my chin and then heard Ocean’s voice again. “Hey baby. I’m right here. Look at me. Don’t worry about anything else, just look at me.”
    When his face finally came into view, I wanted to curl up into a ball, disappear, and then roll off the edge of the earth if there was such a place on this cruel world to do so.
    His face looked pained with circles and bags under his beautiful eyes. He had a fully connecting beard growing in covering his strong jaw line.
    All I could think was I did this to him. Even though he was smiling, I knew I was the one who caused the pain he was in. That much he couldn’t hide from me, even if I was still nearly unconscious.
    I heard other voices and then numerous bodies surrounded us. Suddenly I felt nervous. I felt like they were here to take me away from Ocean and I didn’t want to go.
    I tried to hold onto his hand tighter, but my body just didn’t have the strength to comply. Again, he smiled down at me like I’d just said something funny. It
