Chapter Ten

~ Willow ~

I fear deep water. I fear heights. Those are foolish things to fear considering what I’ve done in my lifetime. These are fears you deal with as a child. You learn your boundaries. What you will and will not do. I never learned those. I avoided them. And apparently, I have avoided a lot of other fears, too. But I didn’t care about that as I flung my body over that cliff.

The wind was cool, but the warm sun was glistening on the water that was coming closer and closer every second. Before I could find fear, my body soared through the water below, which was clearer than any swimming pool known to man. The weight of my fall only took me halfway down, but I kept swimming; I wanted to reach the bottom just to say that I did.

Before I could reach it, I felt Landen’s arms around my body, the heat of his frame warming a chill I didn’t even know I had. He soared us through the water toward the rock embankment. With me in his arms, we flew out of the water, only to land softly on the edge of another fall.

He said something to me, but it was even more muffled with the water crashing down around us.

“It’s slippery here. It makes the next jump harder.”

Next one? He wanted me to go down further? I couldn’t even fathom how far down this jump was; all I could see was white water washing down at an insane speed. I adjusted my feet between a few rocks, trying to give myself some kind of anchor.

I stared up at him with wide eyes. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my body, the tepid bliss of it easing me. The high that was taking over my mind.

Then again, that high could have been Landen himself. I’m not sure if it was because I had never laid eyes on his body basking in the sun or because he was soaking wet or the yet-to-be-explained tattoo down the center of his chest, but as he raised his arms to sway his wet, dark hair out of his face and every lean, sculpted muscle of his body flexed and shined in the sun, I simply lost my ability to breathe. His eyes, which were enchantingly blue under this pure sun, glanced over me once as an audacious grin consumed him, amplifying the dimples I loved so much. Every day, I discovered something more about him. Another reason to love him. Another reason to fight to keep him forevermore mine.

A few days ago, I was scared that I had lost the Landen I fell in love with. That The Realm or the past of a Phoenix had forevermore changed him. It may have been the silence, the beauty around us, but I felt like I was lost in a blissful dream with him. No one else existed at this moment.

“You have to jump out on this one.”

I glanced warily
