"You've imagined me naked," I accuse weakly, watching as his eyes narrow before an amused glint takes over his features.
He bites his tongue to the side of his cheek as if trying to not let his smile show and then turns his head to watch me as I stare at him in utter shock.
"So have you, darling!" He's not wrong but the mortification that colors my cheeks and neck is enough to make me want to bury myself alive.
How is he so cheeky and insufferable after I've just only saved his life? The slight smarting of anger that rises up in my chest is enough to clear my flustered thoughts just as another image fully settles into my mind.

Yara knows that her fate is sealed. The bells are ringing and the invitations have already been sent out!
She might have not received hers yet, but it's coming and that terrifies her more than anything else.
This selection is her demise and the only way out...
is to run...
Both can and will get her killed but getting a headstart might make it worthwhile in the end.
The question is, how far will she get before she is caught?
❄️❄️❄️💚❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💚❄️❄️❄️
"They can't know!" I murmur in a panicked whimper as I try to crouch down enough from the approaching footsteps.
Glowing eyes mark me just as I scramble backwards and my heart sinks.
I've been caught!
After days of running without stopping, food or shelter, I get caught just before I get to the other side.
With a bitter sigh, I finally raise my eyes to study the perimeter guard in front of me.
Well, at least I tried!

Not on the way the sun graced his face and sculpted him into something not of this world. "Are you okay?" He asked, almost hesitantly. Evelyn bit her lip. Stryder tracked every movement. "I'm okay."
