Excerpt
“Come
on in.” The look in his eye stirred something in my middle, as if
he’d issued a challenge.
I dove
in. Under water, my hazy mind cleared. My limbs felt alive. I broke
the surface rejuvenated. “Oh my goodness. I feel amazing.” I
blinked salt water from my eyes.
“I’m
glad.” Liam treaded water, closing the space between us slowly.
My
fingertips traced the white scars on his chest. “Do you mind?” I
glanced into his eyes, barely able to break focus on the luminous
lines over his chest. They called to me. Whether because their shape
was so familiar or because it broke my heart to think someone had
carved into him this way.
“No.
I don’t mind.” His breath shuddered over the words. “How do you
see the runes?” His fingers encircled my wrist, stopping my hand
against his skin.
“It’s
the same one on the tombstones. Why’d you do this?” I flattened
my palm over his heart. “Was it because your father died?” I bit
my lip and shut my eyes. He hadn’t told me about his father. “I
researched you online and I read about your dad. Was that the reason
you moved?”
Liam
released me. “You see the runes on the tombstones as well?”
“Yes.”
Discussing his dad’s death, his move, and his scar were apparently
off limits. I swallowed my irritation as I tallied up the things we
couldn’t talk about. Fine. Maybe I could figure out what the rune
meant without his help. “I grew up wandering the cemetery,
collecting acorns and buckeyes. Mom took me for picnics when I was
young. The kids played there in grade school. When they stopped, I
kept going. It’s my quiet place. I think there and walk Chester
there. I have chalk rubbings of almost all the stones.”
His
eyes widened.
“The
runes never come through. They’re smooth.”
Liam
blinked, unspeaking.
“Did
you do this to yourself?” I touched his scar lightly.
“No.”
My
eyes flashed to his. I hated this option worse than any other. “Who
did?”
His
soft green eyes darkened. “I will answer your question on one
condition.”
My
heart jumped. “Okay.”
Liam
lifted a palm to my cheek. Watching me closely, he slid his other
hand to the back of my neck, cupping my head and bringing me closer
in the warm salt water. He brushed his thumb over my lips and lifted
my chin with his fingers. “Still okay?”
I
nodded, hoping I wouldn’t forget how to swim or breathe.
His
lips whispered against mine with feather light pressure, testing me.
The
dusting of his lips ignited something inside me and worry washed
away. I inclined my chin, pressing my mouth to his, savoring the
electricity flowing through my veins. Liam’s lips parted. “And
now?”
I
draped my arms over his broad shoulders and curled my fingers into
his hair. “Still fine.”
