To Hoard or

Not to Hoard…

Asked Nobody Ever

For a second, I’m so surprised that I don’t answer him. But then Flint nudges me gently, and I nod so fast, I nearly give myself whiplash. “Yeah, of course.”

Hudson smiles, then takes my hand and pulls me straight into his arms. And he may not be as flashy as Flint is, but the boy has style. He knows how to hold a girl just right, so she feels safe, protected, but also free to move however she wants.

Also, I realize as I pull away just enough to shimmy my shoulders and my hips, that’s always been Hudson’s way with me—with everything. He always stays just close enough to help me if I need him—whether I’m learning to light candles or trying to pass paranormal ethics or taking on his father.

He lets me fight my own battles—in fact, he insists on it—but he’s always there to help me if I need it. I don’t know why I never realized that before.

It’s a little awkward to realize it now, right after he’s pulled me back against him so tightly that I can feel his long, lean muscles pressed against me. So tightly that I’m afraid he’ll be able to hear the sudden pounding of my heart.

He looks down at me, his eyes filled with a heat that has my hands shaking and my throat closing up. “Hudson.” I whisper his name, because it’s the only sound I can make, the only word I can think of.

I can see the way it hits him, the way he has to swallow hard a couple of times before he can smile and whisper my name right back.

He lowers his head slowly, slowly, slowly, and my whole body goes on red alert. Because this is a million times different than what happened in the forest near Katmere. That was fast, brutal, an inferno raging out of control. But this, this is a slow, steady burn, the kind that gets hotter so gradually that you don’t even notice it happening…until you’re almost at the boiling point.

“Hudson,” I say again, and my voice sounds weak and breathy, even to me.

He notices it, too—I can see it in his suddenly blown-out pupils, hear it in the stutter of his own breath, feel it in the way his body is now trembling against my own.

And then, just when he’s about to kiss me, just when his lips are nearly touching mine, there’s a sudden explosion from right over our heads.

Hudson wraps a protective arm around me even as he jerks away. We both look up to see what’s happening, and I gasp when I realize what it is. Sometime in the last few minutes, the chandeliers have retracted into a kind of hollow panel in the ceiling, and now the entire ceiling is retracting, sliding back to reveal the sky above our heads—and the most amazing fireworks display I’ve ever seen in my life.

Hudson laughs, but I’m awestruck by the dozens of giant fireworks going off at the same time, over and over again.
