Turning, I came to face to face with a caramel tinted face. His tanned skin contrasts his green and honey colored eyes that were boring into mine. His hold on my waist disappeared and I took this opportunity to edge my way away from the window stopping against the wall to slow the pounding of my heart. What the... He's completely topless his jeans hanging so low off his hips. I swear if they were any lower I'd be looking at the top of his.. you know... The heat rushed through my cheeks at the thought of the word. He looked over at my face a smirk evident. Shit. I'm staring.. 'Like what you see?' Oh God.. Alexis is human. What else would she be? She's been read the fairytale stories and tucked in at night but it's all just fiction right? What will happen when she goes head to head with a boy who's not human at all? Oh.. Did I mention she is his mate? Lies, deception.. Love is a battlefield right?? 'May the odds be ever in your favour.' Trust me?Complete
