Talon's POVMy eyes fell open as soon as I heard those words from her mouth. My head lay still at the top of the chair and I didn't move an inch, not in the slightest. I was still taking it in. That sentence. I know that she meant for me to come and lay beside her but that wasn't how my mind chose to process it. It sounded as if she was trying to tell me to sleep with her.Why did she always have to say things like that? But no, that wasn't it. Why did my body react when she said those words casually?I lifted up my head and stared directly at her as she half laid on the bed. Her face looked innocent, an indication that her request was nothing but a simple plea, but will I really accept it as a simple plea?"What did you say, Tania? You don't have an idea about the words that came out of your mouth, do you?" My eyes narrowed and the chair creaked as I adjusted to it."I didn't say anything wrong. I just..." She paused, her eyes rolling to the side. She seemed to have recalculated what

Talon's POVI groaned as I stirred from my sleep. My eyes squinted at the sunlight streaming through the window. I stretch my arms and legs, feeling the warmth of the sheets against my skin. I can't remember covering myself with the sheets but that was the least of my concerns right now.The sun was peeking through the cracks in my wooden shutters, signaling that it was time to start my day, the sound of birds chirping alerting me of a new day. I sat up and stretched, feeling the stiffness in my muscles from a long night's rest. I know that I stayed up late, all thanks but no thanks to the constant thoughts which were entertained by my mind throughout the night. I can't feel the change that I was expecting from thinking and imagining different things throughout the night. But it was not just about that, last night was actually very stressful for me -- the meeting and the whole saga at the forbidden house. That was a lot of stress for a half human like me who needed rest, and although

Tania's POVI was taken aback the moment Talon pulled me to his chest. The laughter that almost escaped my lips had now been choked by reticence. Never did I imagine that what Talon would use to shut me up was an embrace. What was worse? He embraced me in public and now I am the one shadowed in embarrassment. I just hoped that there was no one that was watching from behind.Talon was muttering some words which I couldn't interpret but I figured he was trying to keep me calm and as funny as it looks, I couldn't ignore the tiny bits of sensations flowing through my body. Can I really call it tiny bits? What I was feeling right now is way more than that. It is way more than I expected.I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as Talon holds me close to him. My body tenses up for a moment, unsure of what to do or how to react. But as he wraps his arms around me, I can feel myself start to relax. His arms. I can't explain it but his arms were comfortable for me -- strong, resilient and pow

Tania's POV"What did you say?" I asked, confusion, surprise and everything in between glaring brightly in my face."I said I liked it. Do it again," Talon repeated.Now I know that he was serious about what he said. The first thing I did was to look around me and yeah, we were still outside. I flexed my hands around our surroundings, reminding him that we didn't magically appear inside the house and he gave me that and-so look which in turn reminded me of his personality. I have just known him for a few days but I can't forget that he has this bold and daring attitude that makes him look untouchable and unfiltered and also attractive at the same time.Focus, Tania. Now is not the time to think about how attractive this man is."We are outside, Talon," I told him, my eyes widened in consternation."But you did it before and we did it outside. So why can't we do it again?" He folds his arms on his chest, his face lifted slightly upwards as he stares down at me.Right now I was thinking

Talon's POVI feel the excitement that courses through my body the moment I heard her say those words. So plain but yet so effective.She wants to feel the hardness of me.She loves what it is doing to her body.It makes me want to yank her up to my waist and lead her to the bed. It makes me want to show her other things that I am capable of doing. I wanted to make her feel more than my hardness but the tingles her body would experience if I kissed her on the stomach and flick my tongue around her navel. I wanted to show her the different kinds of sounds that would escape her lips when she finds my mouth on her cherry licking and sucking on every delicate part I find there.But then again, I didn't want to rush. I wanted to take my time and kiss her. I wanted to take my time and savor the softness of her lips and also I wanted to take my time and give her the memorable first kiss that she deserves."Talon," she breathed into my mouth. "Yes.""I want more," she pleads. Her voice goes
