Excerpt:
Aaron moved so close to her he could almost feel her. She emanated a warmth and allure he’d never experienced before. Her passionate tales of fairies sent a glint of adventure to her eyes. Not for a minute did he believe she was taking the folklore at face value; there was so much more to her fiery wit. It filled her to the brim with stories and information that seemed connected in an intricate web in her inquisitive mind that he longed to explore.
What was worse, she made him surprise himself, a crime he’d never thought possible. She drew him in as if she were the source of heat in a storm of bitter loneliness. He wanted to be her friend—and more. Liora Primrose had captured his interest so peculiarly it was ripe for further analysis.
“Perhaps there is something to the fairies in your tales,” Aaron said without moving, so that her cherished touch and closeness would last longer.
She gave him one of her curious and expectant glances, like the moment she opened the door for him, and he nearly lost his footing.
Somehow, he kept talking. “Magic happens deep in the earth that humans don’t quite understand. Where else would treasures like diamonds, sapphires, amethysts, and other gorgeous stones come from?”
“Fairy gifts?” Liora whispered, barely audible.
Aaron nodded, or he wanted to, but his chin brushed her cheek. The inadvertent contact sent a thrill through him, and his eyes opened wide.
Liora gasped and locked her eyes on his mouth. She didn’t withdraw, as if instead, she was luring him into her magic world.
Aaron parted his lips and met hers. She held still and exhaled, but then pursed her lips. Ah, she didn’t know how to kiss, yet she permitted his advance despite their brief acquaintance.
Aaron gulped. He was her first kiss, and she was allowing him access. In less than a day, she’d given him friendship and now this. How could he rise to the unknown challenge of being her match? She was spirited and beautiful, but what could he offer her as a student here? He was out of his depth and, without the pomp of his London life, just plain Aaron, hoping to impress the most fascinating girl. He was but Aaron out of context. This was new, and he wanted it. Wanted her. Would he embrace the unknown she embodied?
She pressed her lips against his and pulled him closer. Aaron had to decide, would he rise to the challenges of matching her spirit or withdraw? He closed his lips and immediately felt the potential loss of her closeness. She stilled.
And then he wrapped his arms around her, careful not to stray from her back with his hands. He trailed his lips along hers and she met him with vigor. She explored his mouth and he let her, cherishing the chance of introducing her to such intimacy.
“Don’t stop,” she whispered.
He took this as permission to deepen the kiss, and she welcomed him. Aaron’s heart cracked for he knew his life had irrevocably changed. He’d only arrived in Edinburgh this morning, but he would not leave the same person he’d been. Not without feeling Liora close.
