“You weren’t there because I sent you away, and I’m glad I did. He would have killed you if you had been there. Hale, I don’t know what all he can do, and that scares me. I don’t want you anywhere around him. He was out for blood to begin with. What do you think he’ll be like now that we’ve stolen Symphony from him?”
He kisses me harder as he pushes me into the shower fully clothed. My dress is fully ripped free from my body as he throws it over the glass door. I quickly get caught up and lost in the delicious kiss, and my gift strips him of his drenched clothes to allow me access to his incredible body.
“Did he touch you?” he worries.
“No. Symphony was the only one to suffer that fate,” I mumble as tears fill my eyes.
I hadn’t thought about that. Had he wanted to, he could have taken me against my will. I was helpless against him with my gifts being subdued. The blood he took was destroyed in my explosion thankfully, or he could have used it to call me back.
“Do you think he has her blood?” Hale worries.
“If he does, Clay can separate the properties to relieve her of the blood fuck urge. He’s done it before. He would have done it for me if my blood had healed Nicholas.”
“Do you-”
“Shhh,” I hum to interrupt his rambling. “I just want this to be us right now. I don’t want to think about tomorrow until it comes. Just hold me, kiss me, and make love to me. Please,” I whimper, and his lips cover mine to answer my pitiful plea.
He jerks me up to be against his body, and my back presses against the wall. Right now we’re all that matters. The rest will just have to wait.
