I was safe.
And in his arms. Everything was going to be all right.
Now his arms were gone. We’d come back to the house and he’d transformed to himself again.
An ass.
But a far too good-looking one.
And since I’d had a glimpse at his tenderness, felt how kind and gentle he could be, it made him all the more beautiful.
There’d been something between us.
Something I didn’t want, but had been powerless to stop.
An energy.
It was just the adrenaline, JoJo.
I still didn’t like him. Well, mostly I didn’t. Though I was grateful to him. He’d saved my life.
And he’d held me like I was the most precious thing in the world.
Why did he have to be the one to do that?
He belonged to my sister.
He was cocky.
We didn’t share the same values.
And he belonged to my sister.
I hugged the blanket tighter around my shoulders. A deep chill had settled within me. I couldn’t get warm enough. Like the ocean had seeped ice into my veins.
When I’d been against Kane, I hadn’t been cold.
You were panicked. He rescued you. That doesn’t make him a knight in shining armor.
But for a moment, I’d had all the things I’d told myself I never would only hours before.
I couldn’t just unfeel them.
But I didn’t have the experience to compare whatever it was I felt.
There was a war within me. A tug-of-war between hate and . . . whatever it was that wouldn’t let me sleep.
You’re coming down from a rush.
That was the only explanation for these heightened sensations. I wasn’t a woman who craved what belonged to someone else. Especially not to my sister.
If I could just get some sleep, I’d be myself when I woke up.
The sun peeked out from the horizon.
I longed to feel it on my skin. To smell the salt air. To hear the power of the ocean.
I should be running as far away from that beast as I could. While I feared the sea, it had a pull on me I’d never understand.
