Bright Burns The Flame – Angelina J Steffort (1)

Lory’s words dissipated on a gust of heat as Falcrest lowered his face an inch before freezing, gaze finding hers. “Good.” His fingers twitched an inch from her cheek, but he didn’t touch her. “I think fear isn’t the way for me to go either.” A shuddering breath left Falcrest as he shut his eyes for a second as if to put whatever emotions were stirring inside of him back into a box. “Careful what you’re asking for, Gutter Gem.”

“I’m not asking anything.” Lory’s fingers curled into his shirt as she rose to her toes, licking across his lower lip the way she’d done in her dream, and where she’d found smart words to push him away then, her mind went blank at the taste of salt and sweet spices. So familiar… Falcrest’s groan reverberated through her body, his hand flipping to the back of her neck, pulling her closer as his mouth molded over hers in a greedy kiss. Whatever she’d dreamed it would be like to kiss him, this was better.

Dangerously addictive, with the way his tongue slid against hers, stroking and teasing, and his touch⁠— “What are you doing to me, Lory?” Like fire. His hand was like fire as it brushed the side of her neck, so delicately, she couldn’t tell if it was intentional or if his subconscious was making it. What she could tell was that his body reacted, hips rolling against hers, and she almost choked on a breath when his muscles weren’t the only part of him hard enough to cleave stone.

“You weren’t joking about what you can do with your mouth,” he gasped between kisses, dropping his sword and lifting her from the ground. Lory’s legs wrapped around his waist, fingers digging into his shoulders as she glued herself to his lips, savoring the explosion of sensations inside her stomach. Smoldering embers, her skin igniting at every breath they shared until she could no longer think and her dagger lay forgotten beside Falcrest’s sword.

“Lory—” His voice was a touch of fire, while his mouth seemed to feed the flames building inside of her. She wanted him. Guardians, she’d never wanted anyone as much as she wanted Khayrivven Falcrest. And he was the worst possible choice, and not only because he was above her in Ashthorn hierarchy. She hated him—or at least she remembered hating him a minute ago, but the way her body reacted to him told a different story.

“You’re on fire, Lory.”
