Chapter 14

As we pulled away from one another, my heart was pounding against my chest. It felt like my entire body had been set on fire, but in a good way.

“W-what just happened?” I asked shakily.

“I-I’m sorry. I need to go.” Avery gathered his things and then hurried away from me. I watched as he went out the door, leaving me standing there, completely confused and clueless about what had just happened.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

So many emotions were swirling around inside my mind, so many that I could barely process them all.

Whatever I had been feeling between us—this crazy tension—clearly hadn’t only been in my imagination. It had been real. So real, apparently, that it had led him to break the school’s policy about students and instructors. It was a huge risk for both of us.

And that wasn’t even the craziest part of it all. When our lips had touched, we had made sparks fly. Literal sparks. And while I wasn’t sure what that had meant, it must have meant something.

I couldn’t help but wonder if Avery knew what it meant and if that was what had made him practically go running. I just wish I knew what could have caused the spark. If Avery knew, why hadn’t he told me?

With a sigh, I headed out of the auditorium. I could still smell the smoke—the smoke from the fire that I’d pretty much ignited. A lot of confusing things had just happened, but that fire wasn’t one of them. That fire told me everything I needed to know.

There was no question, no mistake about it. I really did have an affinity for fire, which scared the ever-loving crap out of me.

As I headed back to the House of Mage, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed on every level. The fact that Avery had run off so quickly after our kiss had me wondering so many things: 1). Was I a bad kisser? I hadn’t kissed many guys before. What if I’d done something wrong? 2). Did he regret kissing me? 3). Had it been an accident?

Okay, I was pretty sure we could rule out that last one. How did you just accidentally kiss someone?

No, by kissing me, he had completely put both of our positions, his as an instructor and mine as a student, on the line. The risks were too great for him to just kiss me entirely on a whim.

The worst part about it all was that Kaden had also asked me to hang out today. I had chosen not to because I’d had this one-on-one instruction with Avery. I should have just hung out with Kaden. I was pretty sure that if Kaden kissed me, he wouldn’t go running off like Avery had. And, considering Kaden probably had a girlfriend, there was a really good chance he wouldn’t have kissed me at all.

As I reached the House of Mage, I hesitated. The last thing I wanted to do was go back to my dorm room and have to explain to Ambur and Draia why I was back so soon.
