Braxton couldn’t stop staring at her. She was a creature unlike any other, and one that had completely sent his head into a total spin. As they sat next to each other in the booth, out of the way, in Shifter’s Bliss, he felt a calmness fill his entire being. He was eager to learn as much as possible about the enchantress in front of him.

She sipped a glass of water demurely, and he could sense her magic. She was so powerful. Normally, he would have found himself intimidated, but she was drawing him in, not making him wary. He could sense her innocence, the way she had lived quietly, and he wanted her to tell him everything about her life so far.

He had researched her a little and found that it was just her and her mother, that they had, indeed, lived in Bridge Hollow for many years, and he was doubtful that Elizabeth had even left on vacation. But much like him, she had hidden from the rest of the town; she had wanted to be invisible, just like he did.

“I feel like we should be talking about what is happening between us,” he said as he looked into her eyes. “Because I can honestly say, I’ve never felt anything quite like it.”

“Me either,” she smiled shyly. “It’s been a shock… I don’t really know how to take it.”

Braxton took a sip of his beer and then rested it on the table in front of them.

“Do you know what I am?” he asked her openly.

She nodded slowly, and he felt his heart and stomach dip with excitement.

“How?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I can see it in you…,” she whispered.

Braxton felt a surge of electricity rush up his spine, and the hairs on the back of his neck felt like they were crackling with heat. This girl was something else; she wasn’t just powerful and magical, she also had a gift.

“What do you see?” he asked.

He was trying to be careful because he didn’t want to frighten her. After spending so long on the mountain, and swearing off relationships long, long ago − he knew how people could react to his situation − he had decided to never discuss it with anyone outside his clan.

She clenched her lips together and cocked her head to the side slightly. It was clear she was trying to be careful with her words, but he just wanted her to tell him. He couldn’t wait a moment longer; the suspense was killing him.

“It’s okay…,” he urged. “Go on, don’t be afraid.”

She leaned against the booth and looked deep into his eyes.

“At first, I thought it was a lizard of some kind,” she said. “But then, I realized, no, it’s much more dangerous than that… I see a dragon inside of you.”

Braxton’s mouth curled into a smile a little at the edges, and he reached out and took her hand again.

“You’re very clever,” he said as he gave it a little squeeze, and he felt the heat of their bodies colliding.
