Chapter 7

Closer, was all I could think. Step closer. Give me more warmth. I wanted to feel it—feel him. And then he did. Eyes locked on mine, he leaned in, leaned down, and I felt myself going up on my toes, reaching for him, wanting—

The kiss was soft, gentle, like a door opening, opening really slow, teasing, tempting— And it was like something inside of me just broke, restraint, caution, denial, maybe everything. Because then it wasn’t slow anymore. His arms closed around me and I opened to him, threading my fingers through his hair and holding on, aware in some corner of my mind that I was drowning, drowning in the feel of his mouth slanting against mine, of his hands cradling my face, of his body, so big and strong against mine, drowning in the heat surging through me, drowning, falling, gasping—

The cold sliced in hard and fast, and then I was ripping away, ripping away without warning and spinning, spinning away from him and toward the trees—

And saw him.

“Zoe—”

He stood without moving, as still as the pine surrounding us. But I knew. I knew the difference between a tree and a man.

Hands then, on my shoulders. “In jail,” Austin gritted out. “Baby, he’s in jail—”

“There,” I whispered. “Someone’s there—watching us—”

Austin spun and took off at a dead run, but before I could even breathe, he was back and pulling me into his arms.

“It’s gonna be okay,” he murmured, holding me tight. “You don’t need to be afraid anymore.”

And that’s when I saw what he must have seen, the wall of pine rising up around us, tall and still against the fading blue of late afternoon.

But no man.

Only shadows.

Of trees.
