MADDOX

What am I doing?

I know this is wrong. I know it deep within my soul. That was wrong. So wrong. Kissing Mahalia was possibly the worst thing I could have done. I definitely didn’t kidnap her to kiss her… but at the same time, holy hell what a kiss! I might have been with my share of women, but none of them have made me feel like that. Oh my God, that was something else.

My heart is still pounding in my chest, so violently it could break free at any given moment. I can’t bear to look back at Mahalia in case I lose my damn mind again. I’ve never seen her in that way before, she’s only been my annoying student. But then, in the heat of that argument, something overtook me completely. Holy hell, I’m going crazy here…

“Where are we even going, Maddox?” Mahalia suddenly asks me, forcing me to turn back to look at her. the sight of her jolts pleasure all the way through my body, making me fizz with excitement. Much as I want to stuff all of that down, it wants to overwhelm me.

“I… I don’t know, we’re trying to find the Rift, you know that.”

But she cocks a knowing eyebrow my way, reminding me of all the times that she has stood in my office, giving me that same look, driving me insane… just in a different way.

“It seems like we’re just walking around in circles right now. Maybe there is no Rift open right now. Maybe we should head back to the others.”

As she folds her arms defiantly across her chest, I kinda know that she’s right, but I don’t want to go back yet. All the guys will be able to tell what’s surging through my veins. They’ll know that something has happened between me and Mahalia and I will never hear the end of it.

“We need to carry on,” I shoot back gruffly. “I need to know what the hell you did.”

“I did nothing.” She throws her hands in the air in frustration. “I don’t know what I did. I don’t know what it is you’re so keen to see, are you kidding me? I tried to tell you as much. I know Lars got all excited and carried away, trying to make out that I was some kind of hero, but that isn’t the case at all. I just… acted in the heat of the moment.”

“But you made the monsters retreat into the Rift. That’s something we have never seen before. I don’t think you quite understand how much this means. You could save us all.”

She rolls her eyes, completely dismissing me. “I get that, I really do, but I don’t think that we need to deal with this right now. You’re always so impatient.”

I narrow my eyes suspiciously at her. “Are we talking about your college work again?”

She shrugs helplessly. “Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not sure about anything. I just feel like I’ve been thrown into the middle of this mess and I don’t know what to do about it.
