The dream did not begin like dreams usually did.

There was no drifting, no gentle slipping from waking into something softer. It came all at once, like a door thrown open. He had gone to sleep, and then suddenly he was there, pulled backward through time without warning.

He was standing on the porch, his porch aged by years he had never lived through.

Except it wasn’t him standing there. Not his body, not his hands, not his breath. It was hers.

He was smaller and lighter than he was used to; hi

  • Haunting Romantics    Chapter 41

    Ben did not intend to leave that morning.If he had been thinking clearly, if he had paused to consider the weight of what she had told him only hours earlier, he might have chosen his words more carefully. But the world beyond the house had a way of creeping back into his thoughts, reminding him that groceries still needed to be bought and tools still needed to be picked up from the hardware store if the place was ever going to become livable.He did not think about any of that when he first slid out of bed.He was only thinking about coffee.The bedroom was still warm from the sunlight filtering through the curtains as he stood and stretched, the lingering haze of sleep slowly leaving his muscles. Behind him, the bed shifted slightly, the soft rustle of blankets marking the moment she sat up.“Where are you going?” she asked.Her voice carried a faint edge he hadn’t heard before.Ben pulled on a pair of jeans from the chair and glanced over his shoulder.“Kitchen,” he said. “Coffee.

    Ben should have known the moment he said it.The shift in her happened so quickly it was almost invisible, a tightening that passed through her body like the sudden stillness of a forest when something dangerous moves through the trees. One moment she had been leaning comfortably against him, listening to the slow rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her cheek, and the next she had gone perfectly quiet.“Eventually,” he repeated more carefully, sensing the tension he had stirred. “Not right this second.”Her fingers remained curled in the fabric of his shirt.But they had tightened.He could feel it.Ben tilted his head slightly, trying to catch her eyes, but she had turned her face toward his chest again as if avoiding his gaze might somehow keep the conversation from continuing.“You said you fade when you move away from me,” he said gently. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to disappear every time I step outside.”She didn’t answer.The silence stretched long enough that the quiet creak of t

    Ben woke like someone had shoved him out of deep water.His lungs dragged in air sharply as his body jerked upright, the memory of dust and blood still clinging to the edges of his vision. For several disoriented seconds, the world around him refused to settle into anything recognizable, the dream pressing against his awareness with the stubborn weight of something that had felt too real to dismiss as imagination.Then the bedroom slowly came back into focus.The soft gray light of morning filtered through the curtains, painting long streaks across the wooden floor. The familiar shape of the dresser stood against the wall. His boots rested where he had kicked them off the night before.And she was there.Sitting beside him on the bed.Her brow was furrowed in quiet concern, her pale braid resting over her shoulder, her eyes fixed on his face as though she had been watching him the entire time he slept.“You were dreaming again,” she said softly.Ben ran a hand down his face, the linge

    Sleep did not come gently.Ben had barely closed his eyes when the world shifted beneath him, the quiet darkness of the bedroom dissolving without warning. There was no drifting transition, no slow slipping from one state of consciousness into another. One moment, he was lying in his bed with her curled against his side, the warmth of her presence grounding him in the present; the next, he was standing somewhere else entirely.The air felt different.He knew that before he even opened his eyes.When he did, the sight before him struck with a familiar disorientation that made his stomach twist.The porch.Her porch.Except now he knew better than to thi

    She woke before him.For a few quiet moments, she did not move, unwilling to disturb the fragile peace that had settled around them sometime during the night. The room was still dim, early morning light slipping through the thin gap in the curtains and painting soft gold across the floorboards. Dust drifted lazily in the air, catching the light like tiny floating stars.Ben slept on his back beside her, one arm resting loosely across the blanket, his breathing deep and steady in the unguarded rhythm of someone who had exhausted himself completely.She watched him.The simple act of watching without hiding felt miraculous.For so long, she had existed in the background of his life, drifting through rooms while he worked or slept or spoke

    Ben did not realize how quiet the room had become until several long minutes had passed without either of them speaking.The house had settled into the soft stillness that always followed midnight, when the old wood stopped creaking, and the distant noises of the town faded into a gentle hum. The only sound left inside the room was the slow rhythm of his breathing and the quieter, more delicate movement of hers as she sat beside him on the bed.Except she did not need to breathe.The thought should have been unsettling, but it wasn’t. Not anymore. Not with the warmth of her hand resting in his and the faint pressure of her knee against his thigh, grounding her presence in a way that made everything feel strangely normal.Ben lay on his side facing her, propped on one elbow, studying her as if he were afraid the details might vanish if he looked away too quickly.She was more beautiful than he had imagined.The pale braid that had haunted his dreams lay over one shoulder, its strands c

    She had imagined this moment so many times that she had stopped believing it would ever happen.Even when she felt herself growing stronger, even when she sensed the edges of her form tightening into something more solid around him, a part of her had still believed she would remain unseen forever,

  • Haunting Romantics    Chapter 34

    For several long seconds, Ben could not move.The world felt suspended around him, as though time itself had paused to allow his mind to catch up with what his eyes were telling him. He had imagined this moment more than once over the past weeks, wondered what she might look like if she ever manage

    She hollowed her cheeks and took more of him into her mouth, the movement slow and deliberate as she adjusted to the stretch and the unfamiliar fullness. She could feel his moans vibrating through his body and into her, but her focus narrowed entirely to the sensation of him, the heat and weight an

    She kept her touch light at first, her fingers dancing slowly along his length as though she were learning the shape of him by memory rather than sight. The skin was smoother than she expected, warmer too, almost velvety beneath her palm, and she traced upward with deliberate patience before stoppi
