The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

Chapter 31

ADESSA.

"Kael..." I had no idea how I was able to speak as my throat felt dry.

I felt like I would collapse-tired from all the running and shocked upon seeing him before me.

Was I imagining things? But the warmth of the hands that went up to my arms and began rubbing them was real. I could feel him.

"Did you sell me to Draco?" I asked him in a hoarse voice. I could say many other things, but I wanted to know if I was right that I was feeling relieved to see him. That he wasn't the person behind the mess I was in. "What? Why would you think that?" He asked back, but before I could respond, he was already cursing. "Fuck!"

My body was abruptly turned around, and I ended with my back slammed against the cold, rough wall. Kael pressed his body against mine with his hand resting on the wall beside my face and our foreheads touching each other's. My eyes grew wider when I realized the position we were in.

He was hovering over me, covering almost my whole body, and if you were looking from behind him, I was sure it looked like he was kissing me.

I couldn't breathe.

My heart was palpitating.

There was no doubt he could still affect me. He could still make my knees weak.

I was used to us in this position before the accident, but it had been too long since the last time he was standing this close-if we didn't include the night we had sex before I left his home.

"Sssh..." He hissed, his peppermint breath fanning against the skin of my face. "They're coming back."

My hands on his chest tightened their hold on his shirt as I slowly closed my eyes. My heart was beating erratically, but I couldn't decide if it was that way because of the danger we were in or because he was this close. "Fuck! We lost her again! Are you sure she didn't enter any door here?" I heard the voice of someone approaching.

I closed my eyes tighter as I held my breath., reminding myself not to make any noise.

"I swear I saw her cross that street." The other answered.
