Safe.
She felt safe.
Somehow, Tabitha thought that Felix wasn’t going to hurt her.
Perhaps that wasn’t true. Perhaps he was going to betray her or turn her over to the witch. Maybe he even worked for her. All Tabitha knew, though, was that when he’d been buried deep inside of her, she’d felt a connection unlike any other.
And she’d felt like a damn queen.
Chapter 10
The next morning, Felix rolled over and looked at Tabitha.
She was so soft, lovely, and sweet. He could spend all day looking at her if he wasn’t careful, but he was going to be careful. He still didn’t know exactly where she had come from or what she planned to do when she found Ursula.
Only, she wasn’t going to find Ursula because Ursula had been dead for six months.
Apparently, Felix had killed her right after her last big huzzah.
How perfect.
When Tabitha woke up a few minutes later, she looked over at Felix and smiled.
Fuck.
That smile went straight to his cock. He needed to watch himself because he was far too close to just saying “fuck it” and telling her everything. He didn’t like lying to her. He didn’t like leading her on this infinite quest, but he wanted to know the rest of what she knew.
She’d mentioned a monster.
What was she talking about?
How could she know that something lurked on the island?
And why didn’t he know about it?
After a quick breakfast of nuts and chocolate, which he’d stored in the cave, the two of them got ready to leave.
“First things first,” Felix said.
“What?”
“You need some shoes.”
He still wasn’t sure why she had taken her shoes off. He didn’t know why she’d left them on the boat. He understood that she was more comfortable without them, but he’d never met anyone before who just made a random choice like that.
It was as though Tabitha didn’t even care about being safe. Didn’t she know that something could bite her feet? Didn’t she know she could get a splinter? Only, she seemed more carefree than that.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was a witch. Maybe she thought she could use magic to get rid of anything bad that might hurt or affect her. He didn’t know, but he was going to ask.
“We could go back to the boat,” she said.
“That’s the opposite direction of where we’re going. If we want to get to the castle before sunset, we need to go now.”
“How far did we run in the rain?” Tabitha shook her head. “That storm really came out of nowhere, huh?”
“It did, and at least a mile.”
“A mile? Damn. Thanks for carrying me.”
