The wind swirled around us. The wisps of her hair flicked into her face. She paused, looking back at me. The bouncer watched us. Stepping forward, I made her back away from me. Her footsteps echoed against the ground. We were in sync. She knew what I wanted. What I needed.
‘Gemini, is this real?’
I backed her into the alleyway. The bouncer shook his head as we rounded the corner and he went out of sight. A dim light shone from a window nearby. Her face was clear but mine was in the shadows.
‘I’m not sure what’s real anymore, Athena.’
The wind gusted, making my jacket billow. Reaching forward, I pulled the pins that held her hair. I held my other hand in the air, moving it in a circle. Her loose hair flew up, flying in the wind.
‘My name’s not actually Athena. That’s my middle name.’ She gasped, watching my arm. ‘Are you doing this?’
I stepped forward again but she didn’t back up this time. She stayed still, ready for me.
‘What is your name, then?’
I reached forward, burying my hand in the hair at the back of her neck. I pulled back gently. Her head fell backwards, exposing her throat. My tongue traced the skin from her collarbone to her jaw. Her hair hit me as the wind pushed us together. My wind. My power.
Her fingers buried into my hair and for the first time ever, I didn’t care if she messed it up. She was the only one allowed to touch it. In fact, I needed her to mess it up.
My lips travelled over her cheek and hovered above her mouth. This was it.
‘Annabelle…my name is Annabelle,’ she whispered as I was about to take her lips.
The wind dropped. Her hair fell to her shoulders. The air I inhaled caught in my throat.
If I had needed confirmation, which I hadn’t, I had just got it.
My lips touched hers before my tongue darted out to trace the shape of them. When her breath hit my face, I forgot to be gentle. Mashing our mouths together, I sighed when pictures of our past life flashed through my mind. Athena, or Annabelle, pulled away and looked into my eyes.
‘What was that?’ She gasped.
A slow smile spread my lips. ‘I’m sorry, I can’t help it.’
Her eyebrows rose as she shook her head. ‘No, Gemini. I remember. I saw our past life, I saw the beginning, I saw…everything.’
My gaze searched hers. She had answers to things that even I didn’t know. An interesting partner, that’s what I had read about Gemini traits. We needed something to keep us hooked. I had found her.
‘What next?’ she asked as we studied each other.
‘We have to deliver that message to Cancer. Before that though, I’m going to show you that I am an amazing lover.’
Her laughter bounced off the walls. My mouth swallowed the sound as I descended on her again. She was mine. Even when my mind fought my heart, she would be there.
‘Gemini?’ she breathed.
I mumbled a response, not wanting to break the kiss.
‘Can you bring the wind back? It blew me away.’
