Excerpt
“Will you stay close?” It sounded
crazy coming from my own mouth, but I needed him near.
“I’ll stay as close as you want,”
he whispered. Then he sat near me cross-legged. “Is this good?” A small smile
played at the corner of his lips.
Nodding my head, I curled up in
his bedroll and immediately felt comfortable and safe. I yawned and inhaled the
smell of him from his blanket. I was definitely tired.
“Thalia?” Kael leaned over and spoke
into my ear.
“Hmmm?” I answered.
“Why don’t you want me to leave?”
“Mmm. ’Cause you keep the bad
things away,” I mumbled sleepily.
“What if I am the bad thing?” His
thick voice questioned. Was that a hint of fear I heard?
“You’re not,” I answered
honestly.
I was almost asleep when I heard
shuffling. My eyes flew open, and I reached out to grab Kael’s arm. He looked
at me in surprise.
“I’m just getting comfortable,”
he smirked.
“Promise you won’t leave me,” I
demanded tiredly.
Kael nodded, and I let sleep
finally win. But I swore I heard him whisper under his breath. “Never.”
