Chapter Three

Anca

His breath is so close, so loud that it roars in my ears.

Except, it’s not his breath.

It’s my blood.

Rushing.

To my brain.

To my heart.

Up my neck and to my face.

Everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Loud. Deafening.

What did he just say?

I can see all the words flashing in front of my eyes, but none of them make sense.

And the smell of him… masculine but sweet, like a thick, syrupy, dessert wine.

It’s like nothing I’ve ever smelled before.

I hold my breath to stop inhaling it. It’s making my thought process short-circuit.

I shake my head, to try to get everything to settle back into place.

That was a mistake, I think, as the side of my neck bumps up against his lips and sends something like a shiver through my body.

But it’s not a shiver.

I refuse to let it be a shiver.

I refuse to believe it was a shiver.

A shiver is a sensation born of fear, of excitement, of lust.

It was definitely NOT a shiver

It was a, um, shudder.

Yes, shudder works better for me.

He still hasn’t moved.

But I can separate the heat of his breath from the blush of my cheeks now.

So, there.

You haven’t gotten the better of me yet.

I feel him shift, and pull away from me, stretching back up into a standing position. Was he always this tall? Yeah, Anca, he grew a foot in the last 25 seconds, the voice of sarcasm taunts me.

He’s looking at me. Staring. Why doesn’t he fucking blink and give me some respite from his gaze? What does he want me to say, to respond to what he’s just told me? I hope he’s not expecting something intelligent, because I’m coming up with nothing.

Except this – his words have made me breathless. I am without breath.

I open my mouth. And then close it. No, I can’t say that. I refuse to.

Our eyes lock and now, his stare… it’s… it’s… changing. It’s morphing into… a grin now.

A shit-eating, makes me want to slap the lips off his face grin.

“And you said I couldn’t surprise you,” he leans in again, so close I can smell fruit in the froth of his beer.

“Surprise,” he whispers.

And before I can lift my hand and slap the smirk off his face, he’s gone. Disappeared into the growing crowd of people, who don’t know of the battle that was just fought.

And that I fucking lost.

“Fucker!” I hiss under my breath. I grab my drink and tip it into my mouth, the aggression in my actions making the liquid slosh and dribble down my chin. I ignore it, the cool drop sliding down my neck actually helping to cool me down while I simmer.

Asshole! I curse again, this time to myself, feeling my eyes squinting as I try to send death rays through the dense crowd to wherever he is, imagining him clutching his heart in pain as I cast a hate spell over him. Cannot believe he said all that shit just to get me. Argh.

Don’t you really hate that he DID get at you? Ugh, that voice again.
