My eyes snapped open quickly, almost as if something sharp had brought me back to the conscious world. Like an alarm or a prod in the arm, but there was nothing. Just the cool early evening air whipping around me. The bed was comfortable, much too nice compared to the one at the academy, which meant I was somewhere else.

It took me a couple of moments to work out where I was, what I was doing here, and who I was with, but as it all came screaming back to me, I realized that there was something else new today. Something I never felt when I woke up. The softness of someone’s skin against my own. A hand pretty much holding mine.

Instead of turning to my left to see who was holding my hand, I turned to my right to see who wasn’t. I was surprised to see Artemis closest to me because he would be the one I suspected the most, but his body spread out neatly next to me. Beside him lay Trevor, curled up into a tiny ball almost as if he was afraid to take up too much room. Then there was the back of Duncan’s head as his face buried into the pillow. Which meant…

Oh my God, was it Connor? I couldn’t believe it. He was the least likely to touch me. As far as I was aware, he was just about barely putting up with me, never mind anything more. It had to be a mistake. He must have assumed that he was lying next to one of his flings. Maybe even Zena who he had to have something with, no matter what anyone else said. Surely, that wouldn’t be the sort of thing that someone made up, would it?

I had to see it for myself, so I very gently twisted on to my side to see my hand in Connor’s. Weirdly, he wasn’t on the bed with the rest of us, instead he sat by the bed nearby. Was he on watch or something like that? Caring for me? For all of us? Whatever the reason, my hand looked all too good in his. I couldn’t help but like the way that it looked. With this action, it didn’t matter if we got on or not. We were connected in a very special way. For that to be with Connor of all people, well it excited me. I couldn’t help myself from falling a little deeper for him.

I guess I wasn’t any different from all of the other druidesses, falling at Connor’s feet. Urgh, how annoying was that? I wanted to be better, to show that I could rise above silly crushes on guys that I couldn’t ever have, but I suppose there was no way that I could control my emotions. I couldn’t stop my heart from yearning for him. I even laced his fingers a little tighter in mine for a second, ignoring the fears of what would happen if
