Hungry Like a Wolf
Page 23
With a shift and a flex of muscles long unused, Kees gave his wings half a beat and launched himself into the air above her head, landing easily a few feet in front of her. For the first time he saw her face with no veil between them. Her features were soft and even, her lips bow-shaped, her eyes wide and gray with no hint of blue or green to muddle their purity. And in that moment, they stared at him in pure, frozen terror.
Lifting a hand, he stepped forward. “I won’t hurt you.”
