𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈 𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 #𝟏 A tale drenched in curses, rain, and ruined royalty - Book 1 She slipped behind the thick trunk of a towering tree, pressing her back against its rough bark. Her chest heaved violently, breath escaping in short, ragged pants that shattered the fragile silence of the woods. Panic clawed at her throat. She quickly covered her mouth with one trembling hand to muffle the sound, terrified of drawing more attention, while the other gripped the torch, now switched off, so tightly her knuckles blanched. The footsteps were closer now. Slow. Steady. Unhurried. She could feel them, each step sinking into the earth like a deliberate claim. Her eyes squeezed shut when the sound stopped abruptly. On the other side of the tree, so close she could almost feel his presence through the bark, stood a shadow. He was leaning slightly forward against the front of the trunk... while she stood pressed against the back, only the rough strip of wood separated them, only inches. If she extended her hand just a little, She would touch him. "I know you're here," he whispered, his voice low and husky, the sound sliding down her spine like cold silk. She bit down hard on her lower lip to keep from gasping, afraid even the smallest sound would betray her. The pressure drew a bead of crimson from the soft flesh of her petal-like lip, and she tasted iron on her tongue. On the other side of the trunk, his pupils darkened. His head tilted slightly, leaning closer to the bark as if he could sense the warmth of her through it. With unhurried ease, he slipped a cigarette from the front pocket of his jacket. The soft flick of his lighter broke the silence, a brief flare of gold illuminating the sharp lines of his face. The flame kissed the tip. "I can feel your presence, you know," he murmured, tapping the cigarette lightly with his finger before bringing it back to his mouth.
