"Elias, what am I getting myself into?" Sapphire whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at him.His eyes, dark and intense, locked onto hers. "You are getting into me, Sapphire. All of me." Elias's fingers traced the curve of her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
"But what does that mean?" Sapphire's hands fluttered to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart.
"It means you will see the worst of me," Elias warned, his voice low and husky. "The shadows I hide in, the secrets I keep. You will be vulnerable, Sapphire."
"I am already vulnerable," she countered, her voice barely audible. "Every time I am with you, I feel like I am drowning."
Elias's grip on her tightened. "I will be your lifeline, Sapphire. Your anchor. But you have to trust me." His lips brushed against hers, a whisper of a kiss.
"Trust you?" Sapphire's laugh was laced with desperation. "You are the one person I shouldn't trust."
Elias's eyes flashed with pain, but his voice remained steady. "Maybe. But I am the only one who can keep you safe now."
As their lips met in a fierce, desperate kiss, Sapphire knew she was walking into the very heart of danger - and she couldn't look away.
