What's Luke doing here?"He kept the Harley steady while I got off. He swung his leg over and stood up, removing his helmet and gloves. "I called him from Jason's place. He's going to help us get your stuff moved over.""Wow." A laugh bubbled on my lips, surprising me after the heartbreak I'd experienced at Wyatt's house. "You don't waste any time.""Nope." He tipped his head with a cocky grin that launched butterflies in my stomach. "Don't want to wait for you to come to your senses.

You felt it." "I did." I nodded. "All of it.""And you feel the same.""I do." I smiled, my eyes brimming with tears. "I wish you could sense it the way I do so I could give you more than just words."He shrugged. The corner of his lips curved into a crooked smile, I'd never seen on him before. "The words were pretty fucking awesome.

I really felt amazing overall---other than a few minutes ago in the shower. Pushing the thought from my mind, I focused on the positives. My senses were heightened now, like I'd been bitten by Peter Parker's radioactive spider.Only the guy who bit me was a mutated green beret. And instead of making me into a superhero, he'd doomed me to die of a brain hemorrhage.

It's a risk to open your heart and care when you might find yourself alone in the end.

Gareth:I tilted her chin up, her breath teasing my lips. "I need to go."Her throat moved as she swallowed."No, you don't..."My will cracked, I pulled her close and kissed her.Nadya:The second his lips brushed mine, my pulse raced, and somewhere deep inside of me the wolf growled. I wasn't sure how I understood her, but she made her intent crystal clear.Gareth was ours.

I don't care if we only have a few days together, I want to spend every second by your side. I want to memorize every curve of your face, and I want to see you smile and kiss that dimple in your cheek.

I watched her index finger trace the barbed wire tattoo that wrapped around my bicep. "Was this to signify anything?""Not really." Even a gentle touch from her made my pulse jump. "I got it after I graduated high school. I was so pissed that my parents were gone. Thought I was badass."She smiled and kissed my chest. "You just made love to me on a Harley. You are totally badass.

This is your day." I nodded and tried not to smile. "I'm just your arm candy."She grinned with a sparkle in her eyes. "I do like candy."Holy shit. We were flirting.

We don't know how much time one spirit will spend in our lives, but love is too precious to hide from it. A chance at real love is worth the risk.
