Chapter 8

Maddie had certainly given me a ton to think about. Rykerian for one. I knew his feelings were over the top for me. I also knew I felt something for him I had never felt before. I just wish I had more experience in this arena. I was such a loser in the boy department so I had nothing on which to base my feelings. It was so frustrating because I wanted to run to him screaming out how giddy he made me feel. I was also frightened out of my wits. If something happened and he decided he didn’t want me after all, I’m not sure my fragile psyche could handle that.

For the first time in my life, I was feeling like I belonged somewhere. I never felt this way growing up—even in my own home I had always felt like an outsider. I didn’t here, which struck me as extremely strange. So did this mean something? Did this mean I belonged here with Rykerian? Or was it just because I was half Vesturion?

Maybe I was over thinking all of this. Maybe I needed to take it all in stride and not be overly concerned about everything. As I glanced over at the stunning mountains in the distance, their magnificence took my breath away. Maddie’s words came back to me when she said I needed to climb the mountain one step at a time. Perhaps that’s where my focus should be...taking it one day at a time and one step at a time. Perhaps I needed to stop looking at the whole picture and start focusing on each of the components, bit by bit.

As I sat there, lost in my thoughts and feeling myself relax for the first time in ages, I felt his presence. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw him staring at me intensely. His magnetism beckoned to me and I felt myself rise. My feet carried me to his side and I was barely conscious of what I was doing, so lost in his eyes I was.

Speech became impossibility. My desire to stand there and stare at him forever was overwhelming. His lips parted and a slow, inviting smile lit up his face. There was only one thing I wanted at this moment.

He took one step forward, placed his hands on my waist and continued staring into my eyes. My breath left my body in a whoosh and I suddenly felt lightheaded. He moved his right hand from my waist to my cheek, and his thumb began tracing the outline of my mouth. He mesmerized me as his thumb continued to brush against my lips. I wanted him to put his lips there instead.

As soon as that thought popped into my head, he cocked his head slightly and bent toward me, murmuring against my mouth. “Is this what you want?”

“Oh yes,” I whispered against his lips. At first the kiss was soft and his lips lightly danced across mine. Then that familiar electric current raced through my body and his lips turned demanding, as they took possession of mine.
