God, he’d wanted her. He’d wanted her with an all-consuming thirst, with the desperation of a man waiting to die.

He’d been afraid to go near her; he hadn’t been ready to hear her voice, to look into her eyes. He was terrified she’d go and do something brutal, like smile at him.

“Sad boy,” she said softly. “What am I supposed to do with you?”

Sad boy!!!

He swallowed, still staring at her. He wondered if she had any idea what he’d do for her, the worlds he’d destroy for her.
