have sit by and do nothing while you died." His brow furrowed. "So, dreaming of me makes it easier for you to talk to me?" She snorted. "Oh, please. Have you looked in the mirror, Colonel? You're gorgeous and have this unapproachable, 'I could snap your neck in less than a second' vibe about you. You intimidate me on every level imaginable but I know...." "I would never hurt you, Deryn. Ever," he said quickly. 167 Warriors of the Darkness by Mandy M. Roth She squeezed his hand. "I know. I was going to say that but you didn't let me finish." "Oh." Alejandro smiled and moved closer to her. "So, you like the way I look?" "Pfft." Deryn tried to roll onto her side to better face him but it was too painful so she laid still. "You're joking, right? Your entire body looks as though it's been chiseled from caramel colored marble." She ran her hand over his bare chest. "I love the color of your skin. When I was little I used to sit and watch for shooting stars, in the hopes I'd see one and get to make a wish. I wanted skin this color or the color of Ondrea's," she said, continuing to touch him. He stiffened beneath her fingertips. "Deryn, you're beautiful. Your skin is so creamy, so white and so soft that it's all I can do to get through the day without touching you." Snorting, Deryn rolled her eyes. "I must have hit my head or something. Even my subconscious mind doesn't like me that much." Alejandro smiled. "Oh, you'd be surprised how much I like you." Deryn laughed. "What's funny about that?" "Issac made a joke about not wanting to share the dreams, about you, with me if it was going to be a sex dream. I'm just trying to imagine his reaction if he were still tagging along. Since he could feel what I felt he'd no doubt know what I was thinking about right now and he'd probably try to gouge his eyes out or something." 168 Warriors of the Darkness by Mandy M. Roth Alejandro closed his eyes and appeared to be in pain. Deryn ignored her own pain and went to her side anyway. She touched his cheek. "Alejandro, are you okay? Oh gods, don't tell me that my dream is going to morph into the other one. I can't watch you...." "Shh," he pressed his finger to her lip, "I'm not in that kind of pain. It's the other kind. The kind that leaves a guy taking a cold shower, or in my case, an icy cold swim here in a minute." Her entire body lit with excitement. "Or, you could just take me and use me to alleviate the pain." Alejandro's eyes widened. "What?" "Don't question it. It's my dream damnit. Why can't it work out the way I want it to, just once? This is ridiculous. I know you're naked yet my body hurts too bad to even lean back so I can't enjoy the full show. Not only that but I'm laying here in next to nothing and you seemed unfazed. Always good for a girl's self-esteem. Her own mind rejects her." He growled. "Trust me, Deryn. I am far from unfazed. I've been willing myself to look into your eyes and nowhere else and it's killing me. If you were feeling up to 'taking in the full show' you would see exactly what it is you do to me. I want to take advantage of the situation in ways I shouldn't but I know in the end people I care about will be hurt because of my lack of will power." Sick of hearing him voice every reason why they shouldn't do something, Deryn decided to take action. She captured his mouth with hers, silencing him. Easing her tongue in, she savored his sweet taste. Something flared between them just 169 Warriors of the Darkness by Mandy M. Roth like it had done when the tomb guard had approached them and Alejandro had healed her. He broke the kiss and shook his head. "This is wrong." Her lip tingled with power that wasn't hers. She touched it and gave Alejandro a puzzled look. Lifting her arm, Deryn watched as the scratches on it began to heal before her very eyes. She let out a soft laugh. "I think your blood must be working to heal me while I'm unconscious. That's the only explanation I have for why after we kissed that I can taste your power and feel it moving through me. This must be my mind's way of rationalizing." "That or when we kiss, I lose track of everything but you thus opening the link we clearly share and letting my power run down it to heal you." A sly, sexy smile spread over his face. "If that's the case then it would be wrong of me to stop. I mean, if I can heal you it's only right that I...." "Shut up and fuck me?" Deryn asked, hopeful. Making the same growling noise he'd made during the day, Alejandro rolled her onto her back and slid his body over hers. His eyes began to swirl with varying shades of green. He closed them and tipped his head to the side. "I'm sorry." "Look at me," she said, cupping his face and forcing him to [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
