Chapter 8 - Greer

The heat of her was moving through him as though it was warming his inner winds. It didn’t burn, except for under his fingertips, and even then, it was pleasurable. He was completely wrapped up in the sensation. Losing himself, moment to moment, in the taste of her. Like blackberries warmed by the sun. Her tongue was willing and pliant, her body pressed against his until he remembered the circumstances and broke the kiss.

Holding her at arm’s length he caught his breath, as did she, their eyes met. Hers were hungry, eager for more. He knew his expression reflected her desire, but this was crazy.

“Wait,” he said when she pushed against his hold, wanting to get closer again. “I don't want to—”

“You’re not,” she assured. “I know it can’t be any more than what it is. I don’t care.”

She was flooded with want. He’d seen the look many times before and usually he wouldn’t have any qualms about giving her what she was craving in the moment, but truth was that he did care. He cared about what this meant for them moving forward, and so he said, “But I do.”

She furrowed her brow, relaxing under his hold. Then she seemed to remember the information he had shared, her eyebrows rising. “Ah,” she said. “Because of the trial.”

“Because of Grey,” he corrected, hoping that it was the truth, still unsure of what his main objective was.

She didn’t seem to buy it, crossing her arms over her chest and quirking her head in a way meant to question the statement.

Did he trust himself to know what the right thing was?

Couldn’t all of the things be the right thing? Couldn’t he want what was best for Grey and simultaneously want the trial completed? Couldn’t Greer want her to stay on regardless of her feelings or lack thereof where he was concerned? Couldn’t he want to trace fire into her veins and kiss her until she was burning hot beneath his touch?

He swallowed.

Weren’t all of these things possible when neither was mutually exclusively the right thing?

“I don’t know why I feel like I’ll lose you,” he murmured.

It was the truth. That was what it felt like. If he touched her again, he feared she would evaporate, like mists as the sun rose above the treetops. He didn’t know her, and yet he knew that she was one of the better things to cross his path in quite some time.

She drew a soft breath. “I want to stay,” she said.

There seemed to be a promise there. He wanted to pull it from her lips, make her articulate it, but he was frightened of what she’d tell him. He didn’t want to hear that she couldn’t live in a place without magic. He still felt too strongly that what he needed for his own peace of mind was to keep things as they had been, to not rock the boat he had built in the wake of Viola’s death. If magic was used, then the sorcerer would be punished for it.
