SERAPHINA “And even after knowing the truth, if you can’t bring yourself to trust me, then I swear I will never touch you ever again.”I swallowed.My breath stalling.I peered up at him and one look at his expression told me he meant every word.The room suddenly felt too small. And I felt smaller in his arms.In the silence that stretched between us, I could hear his heartbeat beneath my ear.And my own. Unlike his, mine was fast, afraid and uneven.I squeezed my eyes and said, "Tell me. Prove it what I saw was all a lie, Dante.""The three of us knew Ivy since we were kids. She was one of us. And she was in love with Allister."I sat up in surprise."What?"His dark gaze slid to me and he nodded. "Yes. And what you saw that day was her using her last trick to make him come to her and accept that he had feelings for her too.""I don't understand," I said, because I didn't. Because how could what they did ever connect to Ivy having feelings for Allister and being their friend. It onl

DANTEFor the first time in years I woke up without feeling like I was being suffocated.No nightmare jolted me awake, no screams and cries echoed in my mind.Instead I woke up surrounded with warmth and a soft weight settled against my side.I turned my head to find her sleeping peacefully, with her head resting on my chest and her slender arm draped around me. I strared at the ceiling, feeling confused and a foreign emotion I couldn't name.I slept the whole night.There was no blood.No pain.Not my younger version crying and begging for my mother to wake up.No dark cells.No fights.No hands pinning me down while others laughed.No thoughts of staying awake throughout the night just to stay safe.Nothing.Just peaceful sleep and warmth.Rubbing a hand down my face, I sat up and felt a tug on my side. When I looked down, I saw her small hand tightly gripping my shirt like she was afraid I'd disappear.I straed at her sleeping face and acknowledged the truth of my words that I had

SERAPHINA "If you want it, I will get it."Dante did win it.The shopkeeper handed me a blush pink rabbit with big floppy ears. "Oh my god, it's so big.""As big as you."I looked up and a flash caught my eyes as he took another of many pictures.I stepped toward him."Why don't I take a picture of you? You have been clicking mine this whole time.""Because you look beautiful, smiling like this," He said, his fingers caressing my cheek as he tucked the loose strands behind my ear.I swallowed, closing my eyes and leaning toward his warmth. When I opened them, I saw an unfamiliar look in his dark gaze that quickly vanished as he blinked and looked away.I said, "Then let's take a selfie at least."I grabbed his phone and sidled closer to him. A moment later his arm came around my waist.I took the

SERAPHINA "I am fine.""I know," I replied but didn't stop what I was doing.I took out the wad of cotton and dipped it in the antiseptic solution before dabbing it over the back of his knuckles.My fingers trembled but I wanted to do this for him. It felt safe to concentrate on him rather than think about the fact that my mother came here with the man she sold me to. And that man touched me again. I still felt the ghost of his unwanted touch, a part of me wanted to scratch and tear at my skin or just burn it off to get rid of that slithering shame that someone touched me again without my consent.It was taking everything inside me not to pinch and peel off my flesh where his touch still itched and lingered."That's enough."Warm fingers wrapped around mine, stopping me. And I looked down to see that the solution that was soaking the cotton was dripping down on the

SERAPHINA I tossed and turned in the bed, my eyes going to where Dante sat in a chair.After taking a shower, he came out dressed in a white shirt and grey sweatpants and has been sitting there ever since.With his head resting back and eyes closed, it kind of irritated me that he was at ease when I felt like something was burning underneath my skin, wanting an escape.I sat up, staring at him.And then without making any noise, I slid out of the bed and went to him.I stood there for a few seconds, watching his serene face. His expression was relaxed, dark lashes casting a faint shadow on his cheekbones, no frown pulled down his brows and his lips... Those pale pink lips, I wanted to kiss them again.After a lot of contemplation, I lifted my hand and just when my fingertips were about to touch his dark hair that fell on his forehead, his eyes opened.I paused.Everything around us, including the air seemed to pause."I can't sleep..." I whispered."What do you want to do?" He asked.
