Lie to Me
“Humid heat usually followed a bout of crimson rain, but it seemed this climate called for a dry heat.
A dull glow of light filtered in through the broken windows, evidencing the approach of dawn. Not intending to sleep for fear Kella would run in the middle of the night, he’d been determined to watch her through the long hours before daylight. But at some point, he’d fallen asleep sitting straight up, and woke with his head angled to the side.
Alternating between appreciating her physical appea...rance and cursing her stubbornness, he couldn’t get a solid hold on his emotions. The last thing he wanted was to argue with her. Their differences couldn’t be resolved overnight, if ever. The struggle of his emotions annoyed him too. The all-consuming need to protect her one moment, while wanting to punish her the next, the hodgepodge of feelings was too much.
Stone rolled his head, but winced at the stiffness in his neck. Groggy from a few hours of sleep, he wished he’d managed to stay awake so he’d be more clearheaded to deal with Kella first thing this morning.MoreLess
