Allix

Say something. Please say something.

The silence seemed to stretch on for eternity.

“I guess it would take a strong anchor, wouldn’t it?” His reply came at last, and Allix nearly bubbled with delight at his choice of words.

“The strongest.” Her eyes strayed to his biceps and then back to his face as she realized what she was doing. “Luther, I…” she began to say, but her voice caught in her throat.

She swallowed the nervous lump and tried again.

“I never really thanked you,” she told him, feeling herself sway closer once more.

“Thanked me for what?” he asked, shuffling his feet as he responded.

They ended up several inches closer than before. Allix couldn’t believe what was going on. They were flirting, and she was loving every minute of it. Her entire being was screaming out at her to get closer to him, to let him in, to tell him her every secret, her fears, her hopes, and her dreams. Everything. It was as if she wanted to bare her soul to him.

But she clamped down on that part, allowing her rational mind to dictate the pace. It was almost as if she had two different sides to her. The one was a burning, primal fire that wanted nothing more than to reach out and meld itself with Luther, as if he were the fuel for her flames.

The other was her human mind. Cold, rational, logical. Patient.

Right now they were in a dead heat for control of her body, and if Luther got any closer, Allix wasn’t sure what would happen.

“For saving my life.” The words were what her rational brain wanted to say. He had risked his life for hers. He deserved her thanks.

But the tone. The tone was filled with fire and flame as the words spilled from between her lips, all but inviting him to come closer.

And she found that she did want to thank him. Allix was a loner, like her lifestyle demanded.

Oh sure, she’d made friends here and there as she wandered from city to city, but they were temporary, impermanent things. The social friends who she could enjoy a night out with, but not the type that she would get together and gossip with over a bottle of wine.

They weren’t the type to think of her before each other, and that was the way Allix had always been as well. She put herself and her needs first, and if there was room for anything more, it was welcome to tag along.

But Luther was different. She’d called to him for help, and without hesitation he’d thrown himself into harm’s way for her, over and over again.

That’s because he got you into the situation in the first place, her rational brain tried to tell her.

But that wasn’t entirely true. He hadn’t done anything more than protect her from some assholes. Would she have been okay anyway? Most likely. But it wasn’t the first time someone had stepped in to stop a drunk from harassing her. Never before had the drunk held it against her.
