CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: THE EDGE

SAGE'S POVMy eyes were wide when Dante's lips crashed into mine. Oh no!No! No, this can't be happening. Push him off. The words filled my head all telling me one thing but I stayed still.For one stunned second, it felt like my brain short-circuited. One moment we were standing in the hallway of this overly large mansion and the next his mouth was on mine.The basket slipped out of my grasp and my hands remained frozen at my sides for a heartbeat. Before something in me sparked and they moved on their own, fisting the front of his shirt.His lips were firm, tasting faintly of the wine we had shared earlier. I tried my best to pull away only to let out a moan, kissing him back and it felt like something in me had snapped.Heat flooded my body so fast my knees almost buckled. His hand slid to the small of my back, pulling me closer so much it was like he wanted to merge me with him.I felt his other hand get buried in my hair, and I let out a groan in his mouth. Dante seemed to like t

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: RESTLESS HEAT

SAGE'S POVMy eyes stung and I squeezed them shut, forcing them open again as I tried to recall where the hell I was. "It was just a nightmare, you're fine," Dante whispered against my skin, his voice warm.I nodded with a stiff face, trying to calm myself, but I could still feel the nightmare clinging to me.

My head felt like it was suddenly too heavy for my body and I couldn't ignore the suffocating emotions.I pressed my palms to my eyes, willing the tears to stop, but they kept coming. "Shhh.

SAGE'S POV “Do not forget to call me when you get home,” Granny warned for what had to be the fifth time in the last ten minutes. Her fingers were still wrapped around mine even though the guards had already started carrying the last few boxes inside her old house. “I know,” I grumbled, letting out a soft chuckle. “You have repeated that like ten times already.” “And I will repeat it another ten if I have to.” I grinned at that, leaning down just enough to kiss her cheek while she muttered something about me being troublesome under her breath. The evening breeze brushed against my skin gently, carrying the scent of grass, while the guards continued to move around behind us. They quickly unloaded the bags and boxes from the car as if they were terrified Granny would lift something herself if they moved too slowly. Not that I'd be shocked, she's been on fire lately. “I want you to come in for tea later,” Granny continued, adjusting the shawl around her shoulders. “But I
