Death Wish
“A flash of platinum hair caught my eye from across the parking lot. Shaz was moving fast, slipping between vehicles at a near run. For the first time since the fire started, I wanted to cry.
His jade eyes burned with worry. I fell into his arms, and he lifted me off my feet, hugging me close. He rubbed his cheek along mine, a gesture filled with affection. A few hot tears rolled down my face.
“Are you ok, Lex?” He spoke softly. “No, of course you’re not. I can’t believe this happened. I can’t b...elieve it’s gone.”
“Did you see it?” I buried my face in his neck, breathing deeply of his scent. God how I’d missed this, just being with him without feeling the wall that had been built between us.
“Yeah, I saw it. It’s just rubble. Only the basement is left. They were still hosing it down when I drove by.”
His scent was soothing, calming the wolf inside. His presence meant the world to me. But, I never would have expected any less from him.
Eventually I had to pull back enough to gesture to Coby and make the necessary introductions.MoreLess
