“I like your kisses,” she whispered softly, pressing her forehead to his chin. “Something about them feels so right.”
“I’ve missed your kisses.” He smiled down at her, running his hands over her soft shoulders.
“I would like another one,” she said shyly.
“You never have to ask.” He cupped her face and kissed her, but this time deeply, like they used to.
She pressed her body flush against him, and he moaned, feeling her breasts against his chest. Her mouth opened and she slipped her tongue in his mouth, making him hard with need.
“Flo,” he murmured against her lips.
He trailed his hands down her back, touching her.
“Holy shit!” The shout echoed from below.
Sven broke off the kiss and glanced down to see Mona standing in the street, staring up at him in shock.
Flo followed his gaze. “Why is she so surprised? You usually come out here.”
“I’m not usually making out with someone though.”
Mona cupped her hands. “Sven!”
“What?” he shouted back, annoyed they’d been interrupted.
“I can see her!”
His eyes widened and he stepped back. “You can?”
“She’s fading now. I’ll come in, meet me downstairs,” Mona said.
Flo covered her mouth in surprise. “She can see me?”
“Apparently. Although, she says you’re fading.”
“Did the curse break?” Flo asked nervously. “I would suppose not as I’m fading for her. Maybe your curse broke?”
“I don’t think so.” He touched his chest and couldn’t feel his heart beating. Then he ran his hand through the stone wall. He was still able to pass through solid objects. “Not mine anyway. Definitely not. When Magnus’ curse broke, he couldn’t pass through objects anymore, and his red eyes disappeared.”
Flo squinted. “Your eyes are definitely red still. It felt like something passed between us though, something more than lust and arousal.”
“I know.”
“Well, if the curse isn’t broken, then how could she see me?”
Sven shrugged. “Let’s go find out.”
Although at this moment he really couldn’t care less, he knew Flo cared, and that’s what mattered.
When they gotdown to the lobby, Mona was waiting there and talking with Mercedes. Mercedes looked just as surprised. Magnus seemed disgruntled and he knew it probably had to do with the fact that someone else could see a ghost and he still couldn’t.
“Mona,” Sven said, turning solid again after floating down from his apartment. “You saw Flo?”
Mona nodded. “Yes. I was coming to talk to Mercedes about going to Tallowfield to see if we could find out more information, and I looked up and saw you kissing Flo. Well, mauling her would be more appropriate.”
“Yes. I was kissing her.” Sven smiled down at Flo, hovering nervously next to him.
“I’m not happy about their plan to go to Tallowfield. I plan to go with them,” Magnus stated. “Now that I can leave Harmony Glen for long stints.”
