Because it is.
Overbearing magic pools within my chest. It’s so powerful it hurts. A tingling sensation exits my body and, as my eyes open slowly, I see Ryder taking a staggering step closer to me. My heart leaps at the sight of it. Another few steps are all I demand of him before my hands clasp over my lips, hiding the shaking gasp that’s slipping from me.
I force my hand to my side and smooth my features into a look of casual interest.
I try hard to keep my composure. I don’t know why I’m practically breaking down in the one place I should be most careful in.
Ryder strides the final few steps that separate us and he wraps me up in his arms in an instant. He hides my face in his chest just as a shaking exhale trembles through me.
I’ll never let him know the terrible thoughts that are washing through my mind right now.
I’ll hide it away to protect him.
To protect them all.
“You’re so fucking amazing,” he whispers against my ear as his fingers thread through my hair and he holds me close.
I’m not amazing though.
I’mdangerous.
