Blood rushes in my ears muffling the thunder and dulling all my senses. I can’t hear something besides my heavy respiration and the thud of my coronary heart is sort of a drum in my chest.

Just a bit additional. My legs slip out from underneath me when the bottom shifts right into a downward slope. I can’t catch my footing and there’s nothing to seize onto to cease my slide. My robe is ruined, moist hair plasters to my face, and the rain has turned frigid to the purpose I can’t really feel my fingertips. I attain for something I can come up with, however trimmed grass is a bitch to seize a fist filled with when moist.

I roll in time to see a steep drop off simply past the atrium.

“Oh, God!” I flail and pinwheel my legs and arms however nothing is slowing me down. Who the hell builds shit so near a drop off?

Stiff winds reduce up the steep cliff. It catches on my robe and brings the fabric almost over my head. I battle to push it down so I don’t lose the usage of my palms.

That is it. Dying by cliff. It’s going to occur and a few unfortunate bastard goes to search out my useless, drowned physique splattered all around the rocks under.

A hand clamps onto mine, and I abruptly come to an abrupt cease.

“Let go of me!” Okay, I don’t actually imply that but in addition, who the hell has me?

I roll to my stomach, all of the water, grass and filth forgotten to see piercing blue eyes replicate a burst of lightning.

“So you may die? Have you ever misplaced your thoughts?”

I acknowledge the gruff voice, too.

“Valerian!” I battle to my toes. As soon as I discover my stability, I jerk my hand away.

“Bella, rattling it! Cease preventing me.” Tough palms seize at me once more and this time I don’t battle them off and attempt to get away.

My mind catches up and I rapidly understand I’m not at risk anymore. I by no means was. “Valerian?” All the strain in my muscular tissues ease and I can breathe once more. “Thank God! I didn’t know who was on the market. Why the hell didn’t you converse up?”

He grabs my face, and I look as much as discover a look of worry and mortification on his. “Converse up? Girl, I used to be yelling so that you can cease operating. Each time you heard me you ran quicker.”

I lick my lips and he watches hungrily as my tongue darts over the plump flesh.

“Oh. Nicely, okay. That is embarrassing, however the reality is panic mode kicked in. I suppose I couldn’t hear you over my racing coronary heart.”

He drags my shaking physique into his arms and the moment heat radiating off him is greater than welcome. I wrap my arms round his center and relaxation my head over his coronary heart. The rhythmic beat is soothing after my mad sprint throughout Mom Nature’s personal moist slide.

His massive palms maintain me to him. His chest rumbles as he speaks. “What the hell are you doing out right here, anyway? You could possibly have fallen to your demise.” His palms transfer to my shoulders and he pulls me away from him. Robust fingers dig into my flesh. Anger and worry shade his phrases.

Aid turns into irritation. I wipe the rain from my eyes and scowl up at him. “You scared the crap out of me. You’ll should forgive me however I used to be on the lookout for security and your valuable atrium was the closest factor with a door. I didn’t assume twice about heading right here.”

He bends till his nostril touches mine. “Is that so?”

An computerized mild kicks on beside us and wow. The view is intense. Horny as hell, however intense.

I inhale softly. Steal my breath away.

Water soaks him by way of to the pores and skin. White materials clings to each inch of his spectacular chest and shoulders. I didn’t get to understand all of the reduce traces and laborious muscle the final time he had me on their own. Nicely, there was one laborious half I loved lots however yeah… the remainder of the physique is on par with what moist goals are product of.

I’m not the one one appreciating the view, it appears. His eyes comply with the contour of my shoulder to hold on the laborious peaks of my breasts. Silk is not any match for this sort of climate. It’s soaked me by way of and the nippiness within the air has me flushed with chills from head to toe.

He bends and between one breath and the following I’m in his muscular arms. With nowhere else to place them, I wind my arms round his neck.

With out one other phrase, the beast silently carries me into the glass construction. Heat air wraps round me the second we step by way of the door. So does the scent of one million totally different blooms.

I breathe out with shock and awe.

Lush hanging vines brush by way of my hair as he steps previous them. Reds, blues, greens and different colours I have no idea the title of burst from each inch of the atrium. It’s a floral paradise. Lights flicker on as he strikes us previous the potted flame lilies and pink camellias. Gurgling water catches my consideration and I swivel my head to see a marble statue of Aphrodite perched on high of a water fountain holding a vase to pour her love among the many mortals under.

Mild blue mild filters up from the basin, providing the environment the attract of magic.
