Mathias glowers at me with those dull, yet bright eyes and all I can do is glare back at him.

I was ready to spit flames at him, scorch the smug smile off his face and leave him to burn like he does me. Instead I don't get the chance. His soft lips capture mine and I know I'm fighting a losing battle.
