Chapter 17

Emma swallowed the lump in her throat. A powerful, gorgeous, immortal just knelt at her feet and told her there was nothing he wanted more than her, including eternity! Tears pricked her eyes, her lips quivered with suppressed emotion. What could she possibly say to such beautiful terrifying words? They were still getting to know each other. What happens when he realizes I’m not enough for him? An internal battle raged inside her between her budding feelings and the doubts and fears she’d learned from a life without love .

Kai was irresistible. She tugged her hands from his to cradle his face. Her kiss was gentle and soft. She hadn’t processed or sorted through all his revelations. It was all so much to take in at once. Her emotions were a jumble of confusion. Only one thing was clear. How could she not want this man?

He rose to his knees, hauled her into his arms and buried his face in her neck. He gently kissed the notch of her collarbone and breathed in her scent. Emma felt the rough stubble of his whiskers tickling her skin.

“I know I’ve bombarded you with a lot of information. You've handled everything better than I could’ve imagined.” He caressed the backs of her hands with his thumb. “Whether dumb luck or fate, I’m grateful to whatever powers may be that I found you. If not for that night in the parking garage, I would’ve never known it was possible for someone like me to have something like this,” he waved his hand between them. “I would’ve never known you.”

Emma’s her heart thudded. It was good she was sitting because her weak knees would be incapable of supporting her. Kai had just flipped her world upside down on every level.

“Kai, I don't know what to say.”

“You don't have to say anything. I want you to think about it. Consider what I’m asking of you if you give what’s between us a chance.”

“What you said was so beautiful. It took my breath away,” Emma paused, “I haven’t processed everything that's happened, all I’ve seen. I want to but I don’t know if I’m ready to accept all this.” Emma waved her hands. “What you've told me is incredible. I believe you. I do. Everything’s been so intense since the moment we met.” Emma dropped her head in her hands. “What if everything I’m feeling is an extension of the circumstance. I can’t tell what's real anymore. I know I want you. And it scares me too. You aren’t the only one who’s been alone. Everything about you is a lot to take in. You’re terrifying and wonderful all at once. And your life and duty, I’m overwhelmed by it all. I’m confused and I need time.” Panic choked her. She shook her head skittering away from him as she spoke, “This is too much! I need to get out of here for a while.”

“Don't shut me out,” Kai caught Emma's hand and held her preventing her from bolting.
