Chapter 15 - Adalyn

Zephyr and I fell asleep that night in a blissful, peaceful silence. There was very little tension and no arguments before we slept. But as soon as the candles extinguished and all that remained was to stare into the darkness before sleep came for me, I couldn’t stop my thoughts.

I was so aware of him next to me, all ink and physical might. How he had handled me so roughly but then kissed me so tenderly. He hadn’t dared do it again. I hadn’t asked him to, either, but it had crossed my mind.

What are you doing to me?

No, what was this place doing to me, this situation? I put it down to the fact that I had nobody else but him to talk to. I was simply warming up to him, giving him the benefit of the doubt, and attempting to make my own life easier by getting along with Zephyr.

But when I looked at him, making out his outline in the dark, I couldn’t help but want to brush my hands down those thick biceps. I wanted to kiss his skin, feel its warmth beneath my lips, and feel the heartbeat that pounded in his chest.

I wanted to unravel Zephyr—I want to unwrap the hard exterior he wore and find out who lay underneath. What sort of a man had gone into the military, come back out, and how had it changed him?

I wanted to know why he’d gone into such an organization. Zephyr seemed like the sort of man who stood only for himself. A bond with a group, yes, but Zephyr stood alone at the end of the day. What had encouraged him to enter the military?

I gazed at his side profile as he slept, his chest already rising and falling with sleep. I shifted closer, telling myself there was a draft through the cave, and I wanted his warmth. But as I pressed myself to him, I couldn’t ignore that being next to him soothed part of me, even as it sent the other part into chaos.

Soon, sleep pulled me under.

“Where are they now?” Zephyr’s voice woke me up, an alarmed tone ringing out. He was back in the cavern, his voice echoing off the stone.

A tinny voice came out in response on a speakerphone. “Sweeney and Johnson have been hiding together. They’ve done scouts and surveillance. It looks as though the demons are trying to take up residence on the beach. It’s their easiest route of access due to the water. It means they have all that openness behind them to escape if the need arises.”

“Well, the need should arise,” Zephyr answered tersely. “We should be out there fighting them, Alex, not burrowed underground.”

“Trouble in paradise, Zeph?” Alex teased.

“No. Things are actually…” He paused, and I tensed, wondering how he might describe our situation. “Better.”

“Good,” Alex said. “Keep it that way. But we’re still laying low.”

“Alex, it's been four days.”

“I know, but we need more time. They need to not expect us to come.
