Excerpt
A sudden hot
thwack to the cheek has me jerking awake. I gasp, taking in a deep breath of
air and stare into amber flares. Strong, steady, he burns me up too, but in a
different way. His head is silhouetted against the pale pink of dawn creeping
in through the open window. The breeze has that dreamy quality, a slight
crispness to it, hinting at the rain showers from last night.
It's
blessedly cool; at least a good ten degrees lower than the surly heat of the
day outside. I try to bring up my hands to touch his face and find them
shackled by his palms. I have scratched his cheek, the fresh marks just
beginning to open up the skin. As I watch, a droplet of blood pops out. I raise
my head; catch it on the tip of my tongue.
He doesn't
move. Just watches me, those amber eyes alert as always, wary with
self-restraint. I can see myself in them. I lean forward and flick out my
tongue to brush the drop of blood against his lips.
He deepens the kiss, slanting his lips
across mine, pressing me back against the bed so just for a second my breasts
are crushed against him. I have borne his weight before, but this is different.
Our lips break apart and I fall back.
There's a strange look on his face. He is aware of me, aroused, no doubt about
that. I also see … pity.
He
knows.
He knows that
I cut myself.
And then, he
knows that I know he knows.
Just like
that, the fire in his eyes blanks out, replaced by that freezing desert-like
brown sheet of glass.
The one I
itch to reach out and shatter.
"You are
too impetuous, you know that?"
Does that
mean I like to follow my heart? "Not anymore …" I say. "Life's
too short to play guessing games."
"Get
dressed," he orders, but his tone lacks conviction.
