Chapter Nine

Harrison

Kissing Amy is probably the worst decision of my life.

A human?

I try to stay away.

But she’s too perfect and I want her too much. The way that she comes apart beneath my touch is incredible. When I woke up yesterday, I didn’t expect to be walking away from Zax. I didn’t think I’d be leaving the world I’d known for what seems like an eternity. I didn’t realize that it would mean walking away from everything that was important or valuable to me.

Then again, a job is just a job.

Amy is a hero.

She saved me.

She didn’t have to stop, didn’t have to waste her time. She didn’t have to do anything. She did, though. She risked her life and the weapon she worked so hard to obtain. She risked everything so she could try to do something good for someone else.

I will be forever indebted to her.

Now she’s making soft, sweet sounds as I touch her. She’s letting me kiss her, and fuck, if she’s not kissing me back. Her lips are soft and her touch is sweet. She’s making me feel so fucking alive that I can’t stand it. She’s making me feel like nothing else in the world really matters except this moment between us.

I don’t want it to ever end.

Unfortunately, all good things do come to an end, and after a few minutes, she pulls back and looks at me. She can’t see me in the darkness, but I can see her perfectly. Her heart is racing. I can hear it. And her tiny nipples are peaked and poking the fabric of her bra. I want to lean down and taste them, nip at them, but I wait.

“Harrison,” she whispers, breathless. I know what she’s doing. She’s trying to regain some semblance of control. Amy is the type of person who has always had to be on guard. I don’t know who she lost, or when, or how, but something tells me that she’s been on her own for a long time. That does something to a person. That changes the way you see the world around you.

When you’re on your own and you don’t have a team, everything becomes about survival. Everything you do, you do to survive, to stay alive. You have to make choices that are tough. You have to make plays you never thought you’d have to make.

And you have to get used to the feeling of utter loneliness.

Amy is the type of person who has never lost control. If she did, she might die. I don’t blame her. It’s not easy being a monster in this city. How much harder is it to be a human female? She’s soft and delicate, sweet and lush. Amy has had a shit day. To be honest, she’s probably had a shit year.

I want to make her forget that for a little while.

“Close your eyes,” I tell her. She can’t see anything in the darkness, anyway. She listens, squeezing her eyes shut. I push her gently down so she’s lying on her back.
