Lorianna
I wobble down the creaky stairs to the wine with a pile of couch cushions
and blankets piled higher than my head. A match sparks, and then a flare of
firelight glows from somewhere in the musty darkness as Alex lights a
candle to help me navigate the space, but the cushions block my view of the
stairs, and I still can’t see in front of me at all. I shuffle down another step,
then another, and I think I’m in the clear when my foot catches on the
wood.
The world tilts. I shriek as I fall forward.
The cushions fall from my arms and bounce off the floor, and the blankets
plop on top. Before I join them, Alex appears by my side out of nowhere
and pulls me against him.
The bare, hard muscles of his chest cradle my burning cheeks. My heart is
still racing, but now for an entirely different reason. I’ve been close to Alex
many times, but never this close. Never skin to skin this way.
He smells like the forest, of pine and rain and shadows. I wish I could bottle
his smell so I could have it with me always.
“Careful, I would not want you hurting yourself on my behalf, Miss
Lorianna.” His hands gently slide down my back like an intimate caress,
and I wonder if he’s holding me longer than he needs to because he craves

hurry and just got a little dizzy, that’s all. How did you do that?”
“Do what?”
“You were on the other side of the room, and then…”
His forest-green eyes bear into me, and I meet them without hesitation.
“Enhanced speed is one ability given to me by my… condition. There is a
lot I have kept from you out of necessity. I hope you will forgive me.”
“It’s okay, I…”
Alex’s strong arms and cool aura <envelop me. Every muscle flexes with
unnatural power, and it’s impossible to ignore the novelty of his sculpted
body pressed against mine. How the hell am I supposed to think with him
holding me like this? The man I always wanted but thought was out of my
league. Who I thought was worlds away from me. I refused to entertain the
idea that he could want me, too, until he saved my life and I saw we were
both holding back the same desires.
That man. Shirtless. Arms around me.
Pretty sure my brain is shutting down right now just to feel him.
I lose myself in those dreamy fucking eyes, the same color of the
wilderness in my dream. He’d been chasing me through the trees, as if we
