At the End There Was You (Blue Fairytales, #1)

by Wendy Heiss

Your mistress said you’d be a shadow, not the whole damn sun.”

“What if I want to disturb you?” Her pulse went on a run again. “I cannot allow you to do that. The lives of many rely on you solving this.” “I’ll save them all if you pay attention to me.”

“I want you to kiss me, but we only have two more days to live.” She heard his sharp inhale, saw his chest rise like the thunder outside—as if it raged. “And I told you I’d save you,” he said, and then crushed his lips to hers.

“I will give you forever, I will make sure you get forever. Tell me.”

She wanted to believe him, so she let herself pretend that she did. “Then I’d only ever look at you. Would you only ever look at me if I asked?” “You don’t have to. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at anyone before.” He put a finger under her chin and lifted it to him before kissing her.

“He marked you. A God marked you. How important you must be to him, sweet Winter.”
