Flirting With Death: The Hunted Series: A short story

by Ali Winters

  “I tried to keep my distance, but I couldn’t stay away any longer.”

  She bit down on her lip, his eyes followed her movements. Piper’s instinct took over, she lifted herself up on her toes and pressed her lips against his. Pulling away she looked expectantly up at him. A devastating grin formed on his face, fire danced in his eyes.

  Evander slid a hand along the side of her neck, and cupped the back of her head. He lifted her chin with his knuckle and searched her upturned face. His gaze seemed to go past her and into her soul. She felt exposed. Emotions filled her, emotions she couldn’t name, ones she’d never experience before. Slowly, he lowered his head and brought his lips to hers. Her arms slid up around his neck, as he pulled her tight against his body. His lips were light and gentle. She deepened the kiss, and tightened her hold on him. Evander tangled his hand in her hair.

  She’d finally found him after all this time. She wasn’t about to let him go now.

  Nothing in her past would ever measure up to what Evander made her feel in this moment. The world could crash around her and she wouldn’t notice. There was no way to know what would happen now, if anything, but it didn’t matter. All that mattered was here, now. Being with him while she had the chance. That was all anyone could do.

  Piper had been kissed before, but every one of them paled—faded and forgotten in comparison to this one. If she knew one thing for certain it was that she would never be the same again. For better or worse, her life was permanently changed and there would be no going back.

  The End.
