I turn around,my eyes practically bugging from my face. How did he get behind me? The sight that awaits me leaves me breathless. The man before me has sky blue eyes, sparkling with wonder. Blonde, curly hair that falls around his head like a halo. Beneath his long sleeve jacket, I can make out mussels. Holy hell! Who is this demon before me?
It takes me a moment to realize he asked me a question. What's my name? Should I tell him? How about this, "What's your name?"
He smirks, " My name is Adrian."
Fine. Okay. I'll tell him mine. "I'm Khalika."
"Well, Khalika," he grabs my hand and brings it to his lips. His lips are warm against my skin, sending sparks through me. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
