Entangled: A Novel of Romantic Fantasy (Wanderlust Academy Book 1)
Page 21
A few surprised gasps and whispers came from the crowd still dispersing.
I wanted to duck down, as if that would keep me from being seen. “People are watching us.” My lips moved against his.
“Mmm-hmm,” he murmured. “Who cares.”
“Not me, but—”
He tugged me closer, cutting off my words with another kiss. His hands tangled in my hair, and I felt myself surrender. For a while I didn’t resist it, but then reluctantly I pulled away. His mouth traveled to my cheek.
“Love you,” I whispered. “See you later?”
“See you forever,” he murmured against my cheek.
I smiled up at Grace, who nodded before returning inside.
“I owe her my life,” Troy said. “She has a gift for seeing though the circumstances people are living, deep into the heart of who and what they truly are.”
I felt his eyes on me, and my gaze lifted to his. “And what are you?” I asked.
“Someone who’s been entangled with the girl I love, for more lifetimes than I can count.”
With a whisper-touch, he traced a finger over the arch of my eyebrows, down the bridge of my nose, and across my lips, before he spoke.
“Thank you for being the girl of my dreams.”
My lips brushed his, then I pulled back to stare into his eyes.
“Thank you for not being the man of my mine.”

Michele Barrow-Belisle is chocoholic author and artist living in southern Ontario, Canada with her super-sweet husband, brilliant son and a ridiculously affectionate cat. Often told by teachers to stop dreaming and get her head out of the clouds, Michele still spends much of her time lost in make-believe worlds, populated with fascinating and occasionally terrifying characters. Her passion for fantasy extends beyond her writing into her clay figure sculpting, creating miniaturized replicas of the paranormal beings she writes about. Michele is as passionate about reading as she is about writing. When she’s not reading or writing, she can be found sculpting tiny fairies or fairy food in polymer clay. She also loves mocha lattes… and sexy shoes. Did we mention the chocolate?
