I awaken to the crackle of a fire and the scent of something cooking. Rubbing my eyes, I sit up to see Krakenos tending to a small blaze, a few fish roasting on sticks. The aroma wafts over, making my stomach rumble. I realize just how hungry I am after yesterday.

“Good morning,” he says, glancing over at me with a smile. “The storm has passed, and I managed to catch us some breakfast while you were resting. I found some dry wood deeper in the cave too.”

I stretch, feeling the ache of sleeping on the hard ground as I look over the bounty. “Wow, looks like you’re a regular survivalist. I guess I lucked out by getting stranded with you.”

He chuckles. “When you’ve lived as long as I have, you pick up a few skills along the way. It’s a necessity in a world as unforgiving as mine.” There’s a wistfulness in his voice, like he misses Mythos, even if times there were hard.

We eat in comfortable silence, and the fish is flaky and satisfying. It’s a simple meal, but out here, it tastes like a gourmet feast. As we finish, I study his face, the way the firelight illuminates his aquatic features. He’s so different, and yet there’s a familiarity to him that I can’t quite place.

“Thank you,” I say, meeting his gaze. “For everything. For protecting me. For opening up about your people. For listening to me prattle on about my life.” I laugh lightly. “I know I haven’t been the most cooperative or grateful, but… I do appreciate it. More than you know.” It’s hard for me to let my guard down, but something about Krakenos makes me want to try—makes me feel like I won’t regret it.

Krakenos shakes his head, a glimmer of amusement in his smile. “You’ve been a formidable challenge, Mia of Earth. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your spirit—it’s what drew me to you in the first place.”

I laugh again, nudging him with my shoulder. “Oh, so you like a challenge, do you?”

His eyes darken, his gaze dropping to my lips. I realize then how close we are, and my breath catches in my throat as the air between us feels charged.

And then, before I can second-guess myself, I close the distance between us and press my lips to his.

The kiss is electric, a spark igniting deep within me. His mouth is warm and smooth against mine, his touch sending shivers racing down my spine. I melt into him, all my doubts and fears momentarily forgotten as I lose myself in the sensation.

When we finally pull apart, my head’s spinning, and Krakenos’s dark eyes are wide, mirroring my own surprise. But there’s something else there too—a smoldering intensity that makes my skin tingle and my stomach flip.

His gaze rakes over me, hungry and possessive, and I feel my body respond, a liquid warmth pooling low in my stomach. I lick my lips, tasting him there, and watch as his eyes track the movement.
