Chapter 14

Eloise scrubbed at the dirt on her skin. She was bruised, angry, and confused. As well as being filthy, again.

Part of her wanted to kick Axen. Eloise had dashed out of the cave she’d been sheltering in as soon as she’d heard his cry of distress, and after hunting through the rainforest, she’d discovered him unconscious on the ground, with a large burn mark on his chest.

Eloise had flung herself to the ground, checking Axen was still breathing. She’d held her own breath for fear of what she might find. And when she’d found him still alive, she’d panicked. She needed to get Axen help, get him treated for the injury he’d suffered, but she had nothing with her and didn’t want to leave him so vulnerable in the rainforest. So, she’d risked moving him. And as she’d moved him, he’d fought back. Well, fought her and kissed her.

To begin with, Axen had almost been conscious, and Eloise had managed to get him to his feet and walk him towards the cave she’d been hiding in. But then he’d collapsed, the injury from what looked like a lightning strike, too much to bear.

As Eloise had inspected the wound, and then struggled to get Axen back on his feet, he’d begun muttering and cursing, fighting her the whole time. And then he’d grabbed her and kissed her until stars shone in her vision. She’d never been kissed like that before.

At first, she’d resisted, the breath punched out of her as Axen had squeezed too tightly, his muscles rippling underneath her. She couldn’t help but respond; his kiss had been urgent and desperate. His fingers wrapped into her hair and then ran down her body, squeezing her to him as if he wanted to mold them together and join them for life. No one had ever wanted her so much.

Eloise let out a shaky breath as she recalled Axen’s passion. She’d never felt anything like it before. Earth men were always so reserved. They held back, often unwilling to reveal their true feelings. But Axen hadn’t hidden anything when he’d touched her. He was so honest in his desire for her. It had made her legs tremble when she’d finally pulled away from his kiss, and Eloise had taken a moment to let the rain pour over her, calming her hot skin and getting her thoughts back into focus. She couldn’t get carried away; Axen was injured, and the medical kit was back in the cave, a cave that had felt like a thousand miles away.

And then Axen had pulled out a blade and started hacking at the air, hacking at her. Eloise had been able to dodge most of his clumsy, half-conscious attacks, but not without losing a chunk of hair, as one of his blades came a little too close for her liking. Axen had also sliced her flesh several times. Nothing deep, but he’d drawn blood before collapsing.

After that, it had taken all her strength and a bucketful of curses, but she’d dragged Axen back to the cave.
