Sparks dance recklessly acrosswe are and never can be "Find Laylen? Is he …" It dawns on me I went back into the point in time where Laylen ran off, but I was never captured by Nicholas

"Ge to be sick?" Alex ski the sparks more intense and the consequences of them even heavier "And why are your clothes wet?" His eyes drift toand sending a surge up my body He takes it froet this?"

Without even thinking, I extend es with contact I stare at theover his shoulder, the sunlight blinding but refreshing in the best way possible "I can’t believe it worked"

Alex gets to his feet then sits down beside me with a concerned look on his face "Ge on but I’d really appreciate it if you’d explain it toto be patient with me instead of his normal, bossy self, probably because recent information about his father and what he did to all of us, including Alex hi happened toto believe it or not"

His brow arches "I’ I wouldn’t believe at this point"

He has a point So s have happened over the last week or two that itseeing visions is i to hi time, but what led up to the point that it had to happen, whichhim about Stephen and my possession and the worst part--hoe’re not supposed to be together Hoe can kill one another if we fall in love But before I divulge this to hiive him up, I want him one last time The prickle hasn’t announced my love for him, or anyone else for that matter, yet and I’m not sure if it ever will, but what I do know is that Alex will , cutting off the human contact I’ve been deprived off for years and I want it one one

So before either of us can say anything I lean forward and pressheat, the passionate sparks, the scorching hot desire that tidal waves through ue into his mouth

He kisses me back without any hesitation, as if he has no control over the situation or anything else, and honestly, I don’t think either of us does We’re prisoners to our lust, want, need, a s that feel like they ownin

"I surrender," I say against his lips, not really too hilossy, filled with desire, an addict wanting his next taste, just how I feel at the moment "Huh?" He cups "

I want to tell hireedy addict in ive it all up "I surrender," I say again, like it’s supposed to er in his eyesto hiainstelse exists

Nothing

Out tongues tangle together, hands wandering all over each other’s bodies I forget how to breathe like I did seconds ago, but it doesn’tto be in a fewpain of reality bares down on rab his arm and pull hi his shirt off his head, but soe to rip the fabric in half, as if I’ve gotten stronger somehow Alex looks down at his chest, shocked, and I feel the saht of his flawlesson his skin--his Keeper’show fast he’s breathing

His gaze lingers onin his eyes causes heat to coil deep insideHe wants h the roof I’ainst his, unable to controlfor me And like I did with him, he tears my shirt from my body, but with purpose unlike me Then with one swift ether like liquid steel

I sliphi us up somewhere Clothes come off on our way down the hallway, pants, boxers, panties, ets torn to shreds My nails scratch at his skin, claw at his back, as he bites atteethmy skin The twisted part of me hopes they’ll leave scars, that way I can at least have a reain

We continue to kiss and tear each other apart, neverit to the bed Instead he picks me up as soon as we step into the nearest roo to have a bruise But I don’t care--I don’t care about anything at thehim to rock his hps and thrust deep inside me

"Oh God" My head tips back and Ieven deeper into his flesh, cutting it open and causing blood to trickle out Thankfully he’s a Keeper, otherwise he’d have scars all over his body I wish everything was that way--that if ere strong enough we’d escape getting scars, outside and in Maybe then I could erase the scars of life Maybe then I would know that when this moment is over and I know I can’t have it anymore, my heart and soul won’t be scarred

But I know that’s not the case I realize as Alex kissesme more than anyone ever has, that I feel more for him than I’ll ever let myself admit

Then I ever can adether, we relax and finally make it to the bed Naked Sweaty And exhausted Alex is lying next to me, one hand to his side, the other in his hair as he s I lie on my side and stare at him, the elation and bliss he instilled inside

"That was…" he searches for words, catching his breath

"A," I finish for him only my deflated tone doesn’t match my word

He picks up on ?"
