CHAPTER 16

CAIN

I don’t give the delicious peach-flavored treat time to ask me what I might mean as I slip away from her.

Because I’ve already disappointed myself by my lack of control.

I shouldn’t have gone anywhere near Scarlett, but the instant I saw her sparkling like a gem on the ballroom floor, I had no power over what happened next.

The Dream Realm descended the moment I spotted her.

I’m not a dreamwalker, if such a species even exists. I can only travel into the Dream Realm when I have an anchor to pull myself in.

Tonight, the Dream Realm sucked me into it along with Scarlett, and that wasn’t on purpose.

Shadows skitter across my skin, enticing me with soft touches as I retreat. My power seems different when Scarlett is in the room. Everything is more effortless, and there’s a pull to stay that makes it hard to fight.

Something about Scarlett Nightingale is endless and extraordinary.

She isn’t entirely human. She can’t be.

I watch her as she searches the room for me. Observing her is a luxury in which I indulge. I appreciate how her lacy black dress with red highlights accents her hips and her curves. Her lips are ruby red as if she has dipped them in blood. Her hair is a similar vibrant color, and it glitters with complementing jewels and silver chains.

Breathtaking.

The Dream Realm slowly sinks around me as I concentrate and force my beast back. He’s satisfied to watch Scarlett and bask in her beauty, so he doesn’t fight me.

Just as well, because I need a minute. My dick throbs from the memory of Scarlett pressed up against me. It would be preferable that all of my subjects didn’t remember me with a raging hard-on.

There’s enough dream essence that no one pays attention to me. I’m a passing memory. Dreams exist in various states. There’s such a state when one is awake that is just out of reach, and I settle into that space while I gain my bearings.

Scarlett has unduly unsettled me. I have no doubt about her silent power as I watch her slide into the crowd that resumes socializing and exchanging fake pleasantries. My nightmare fog made them forget the last few moments where I had blanketed the entire room in darkness.

Scarlett seems unaffected by the memory-alteration magic. Her wide eyes scan the room with a bright spark of fear, but there’s curiosity in them, too. I give her credit for not cowering in terror like most mortals would when in my unleashed presence.

That alone proves my theory. There’s something hidden and buried deep inside of this female. I’m eager to carve my way to the pit of my little peach and find it.

It’s clear she doesn’t know she is something other. It would take more than just genetic manipulation to create whatever it is she has inside her soul.

Something dark.

Something that has no end to it like the center of a black hole. I’m well versed in the workings of the universe, but never have I encountered a creature with the same pull as that celestial object.
