Had the sky turned dark that fast or had we been kissing for so long we hadn’t noticed?
The rain fell, patting the leaves.
“We’d better get down,” he said, sounding a little disappointed.
“Yes,” I said.
We scaled down the vines and placed our feet firmly on the ground from the clouds we’d been surfing.
The rain fell in a deluge that quickly flooded the earth, turning it muddy.
Dyrel held my hand as we ran toward the shuttlecraft. We slipped and slid but managed to keep each other upright.
Then, I completely lost my balance and fell on my ass. Dyrel tried to compensate and pull me up fast but he lost his balance too. He fell into the mud with me. It splattered over our arms and legs and across our cheeks.
We shared a look and laughed.
“Well,” I said. “I doubt we can get much wetter now.”
We didn’t run after that. At our approach, the shuttlecraft’s lights flicked on. It spilled from the windows and was warm and inviting.
His lips begged to be kissed.
They sat there, teed up and ready to be attacked by my own yearning hunger.
Spots of water sat on them, dewy from the rain that drenched our clothes and continued to splatter our hair and run down our faces.
I barely even noticed it.
I didn’t think he did either.
We stood in a pool of warm yellow light that stretched across the grass like a heavenly spotlight.
I was falling desperately in love with this man.
Except, of course, he wasn’t a man at all.
He was a Titan.
He was big and broad across the chest. His soaked clothes clung to his muscles underneath. A smile danced on those impossibly mesmerizing lips.
Did he know he had me right where he wanted me?
Right where I wanted to be?
I was his.
If he wanted me.
Did he want me?
This wasn’t supposed to happen. We had a deal.
We were meant to pretend to be in love, pretend we would get married.
But somewhere along the line, I lost track of that goal.
Now I was floating, heading for a distant but powerful light on the horizon.
