I would live in this moment forever. I'd have this one taste of love to hold fast to as the years ticked by. I'd shelter it, keep it tucked away, a memory for my eyes only. He kissed my neck, then my mouth, sucking on my lower lip until I finally cried out and threw my head back in ecstasy. "Xander," I said, fighting against his grip. "Xander, wait-" Submit, I thought. "Lena," he said, his voice edged with a nearly inaudible frustration. "You're mine. I'm yours. Whatever happens next," he breathed, kissing me deeply before continuing, "this will be for us. A tether. A thread to keep us grounded to each other." He was going to mark me. I could feel it in my soul. * All I ever wanted was a chance to be normal, to finish my studies and live a quiet life where I'd never have to think about my past. But Xander changed everything, and once he walked into my life, I could never go back. Neither of us could control the destiny we could never avoid...a destiny that would change the world forever.
