Lissa nodded. What was going on? She was so confused. All she remembered was the moment he’d left her yesterday something had attacked her from behind. It’d struck so quickly, and with such ferocity that she’d immediately lost consciousness.

“But first,” he glanced up at the sky, “we need to make camp.”

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t happy to see him. No, not happy. Because the riotous mess of emotions she was currently feeling went much deeper than mere happy. Her tongue felt thick, her nerves shot, her thighs were tingling.

Tingling!

When his hot blue eyes had rolled across her body, everything inside of her had gone absolutely still. Her stomach had twisted with carnivorous butterflies and her mind had fractured. How was he seeing her? Not that she minded, she actually liked it. But she usually didn’t stay in human form long because she’d never been able to stay solid doing it.

But if he could see her now, really see her…

And now she realized she was also ‘seeing’ him. There were no trees, no needles, or dirt around them. Just him. His big strong shoulders, his wild hair hanging free, he looked bigger to her somehow. More virile. More present. Just… more.

Holding onto her stomach, she made to stand on trembling legs.

“You okay?” he asked, and his voice shot a thrill of heat and liquid down her spine, it settled between her thighs and goddess, it was hot of a sudden.

Swallowing, she waved her hand in front of her face, needing to cool down, feeling as though she might combust at any moment. What was wrong with her?

“Are you sure?” he narrowed his eyes, moving his face in closer to her. So close the mint of his breath laced her lips. His eyes looked worried. “You look feverish.”

He touched his palm to her forehead and his hand was so cool, like being dipped in river water. She trembled. “I do feel queer,” she mumbled.

“Dammit,” he growled and just as he said it, her world spun out of control and the lights winked out.

Aeric stoked the fire, keeping a watchful eye on Lissa. She was curled close to the flames, her hands tucked beneath her face and sleeping, snoring very softly. It was obvious she was exhausted.

Throughout the night she continued to mutter to herself, nonsensical words and moans and grunts. He didn’t like starting this fire, felt it would call all manner of monster to their door, but after she’d passed out, he’d had to slap her cheeks repeatedly to get her to wake up.

When she did, she’d been groggy and shaking, shivering violently in his arms. In the end, the decision had never really been his.

There’d be no sleep for him tonight, someone needed to keep watch, and if he were being honest, he was worried about her and probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep much anyway.

She moaned again. Louder this time.

She’d been doing this off and on throughout the night, so he didn’t think anything of it, until she jerked upright screaming and clawing at her face.
