* * *

I didn’t know why I was there, aside from the fact that I asked Briar to meet me again. I should have been anywhere but this park with the moon shining in the unusually clear sky. It had been clear nearly every night this month rather than the typical overcast, rain-soaked evenings I was used to. I hadn’t been able to escape the memory of the dream I’d shared with Briar, and I didn’t want to. Not now that I’d come to the realization of why we were so drawn to each other. The dream had solidified it for me. She was mine. I was hers. There was nothing to be done about it now. I would go to my grave with her etched on my bones.

I saw her standing in the moonlight, her hair glowing from the cast of the moon’s rays that fell on her. She looked like an angel. No, not an angel. Briar looked like my fantasy. She was a powerful, beautiful creature made to be cherished and worshipped. She didn’t know it, but I’d lay down my life for her in an instant.

“You came,” she whispered,

“Of course I did. Did you really doubt my word?”

She smirked and toyed with the curled end of her hair. “Never trust a vampire. That is the lesson I’ve been taught since I was a child.”

“I am only half vampire.”

I strode toward her, my hands itching to feel her soft skin. She smiled, biting her lower lip, eyes twinkling with excitement.

“The last time we were in this maze, I nearly fucked you on an altar.”

Her cheeks turned pink, making my hunger rise enough that I had to avert my gaze and fight for control. I hadn’t fed in too long. Gentle fingers found my cheek causing me to instinctively lean into her touch. “Why does every brush of your fingers make me feel more human than I ever have?”

“And you make me feel more wild than I should.”

“There’s nothing wrong with giving in to your wild side, Briar.”

She bit her lip again, and I reached out to stop her. I couldn’t take it. “Don’t do that.”

Curious eyes met mine. “Why not?”

“If you break the skin, I won’t be able to keep my lips off you.”

“You want to feed?”

I took a shuddering breath. “Always.”

“Have you been denying yourself?”

“I don’t usually need to feed so often. But being around you, it’s like…like being near the one thing you want more than anything in the world, but you know once you take it, that’s it. Your greatest desire will be gone, and you’ll have nothing to show for it.”

She cocked a brow. “Because you’ll drain me dry.”

“No, Briar, Because once I take your blood, you’ll leave me. You’ll remember what a monster I truly am, and I won’t be able to get you back. You’ll see the truth.”

She linked our hands and tugged me into the maze. “I think you forget I have a beast of my own. One I’ve worked hard to gain control over.
