Chapter Thirteen

Aurora

“I don’t know why we are arguing about this. It’s too dangerous.”

Aurora was ready to pull her hair out. Her and Gregor had been having the same argument for the past hour, and she had to leave in the next fifteen minutes to meet up with everyone going out to hunt the Shaitan and find where they’d taken Luka. Truly they’d been having this argument since the first time she walked off and left him with Annalise. He kept repeating “I go where you go” like it was as simple as that.

As nice as that might sound, it wasn’t that simple, not when Aurora was the leader of her world and it was her responsibility to lead her soldiers into battle against demons who could destroy Gregor without effort. Aurora couldn’t afford to be distracted from her mission, and if he went she knew her focus would lean toward keeping him safe.

Aurora bent down to pull on her boots and when she stood back up, Gregor was right there, his body pressed against hers from behind. Gregor brought his arms around her from behind, kissing her just below her right ear. Aurora’s eyes fluttered shut and a hum sounded in her chest. Every time he touched her or kissed her, she felt herself getting pulled in deeper. Gregor’s touch was like a rip current that she couldn’t escape.

She turned in his arms planning to push him away. Her centuries old mindset was still resisting this thing growing between them, trying to push away the feelings that were clinging to him like he was life itself with memories of all the hurt the humans had caused her and her people. Looking in Gregor’s eyes, her heart pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind again. She was still torn, but every touch, every look from Gregor made her resolve to push him away falter again and again.

Gregor kissed her forehead, then bent his head so his mouth was against her ear when he whispered, “I’m going with you. Stop fighting me because I won’t give up and you will give in.”

He pulled back, his mouth turned up into a sly smile. Aurora wanted to knock it from his face, and at the same time loved every word he said. She loved that he was willing to fight for her, to stand by her, no matter the consequences he might face.

“You’re not going to back off on this, are you?” Truly it was a rhetorical question because she already knew his answer, but she had to give it one last try before she tied him to the bed and took away his choice in the matter. He might be making her feel all the feelings, but she’d be damned if she allowed him to risk his life out with her tonight.

Gregor shook his head at her. “You have to know I’m smarter than that,” he said.

Aurora stepped back, looking at him with pursed lips. “What are you talking about?”

Gregor closed the space between them again.
