Chapter 51

Kyra POVKyra ~ age thirteen Tor ~ age twenty-eightI smile at the framed photo of my parents that's on the night table on my mom's side of the bed. They're about fourteen and fifteen in this picture, and they're kissing, but smiling against each other’s lips. They look so young but also so much the same. It's my favorite photo of them."Mom, how did you know Dad was the one?" My eyes linger on the photo for a moment longer before turning to her. She's lying on her stomach at the end of their bed, writing in her journal as she does every night. Her long blonde hair falls around the rims of her nerdy yet trendy red-framed glasses.She chews on the end of her pen, her face lighting up as she thinks about my dad. I love how much they love each other. They never fight. They’re always hugging and kissing, always whispering secrets to each other and pulling each other closer for more kisses. It’s like they exist in their own little bubble of love and forget the rest of the world exists.

Chapter 52

Tor POVTorMy love, For all the times I pushed you away My heart was trying to pull you closer"Grab the rope out of the truck," I yell to Thalen."Tor, you can't go down there with your back problems," Thalen says."No shit. That's why you're going. Get the fucking rope."Tavian laughs as our brother takes off for the truck. "It's about time the kid gets his hands dirty," he says."True, bro. Let's not drop him, though. I'm not going in after him and the dog."We stare down over the side of the bridge as Thalen runs back to the truck. The river is raging beneath us, and a black lab is clinging to the side of the embankment, his back legs already in the water. It's a miracle he's not being swept away by the current. The only thing keeping him there is that his collar must be snagged on something — a rock or a tree branch. If whatever is holding him lets loose, he'll be dragged down into the water and most likely drown.It’s almost impossible to climb down the steep hills on eith

Chapter 53

Tor POVKyra: I wanted to say hi and let you know I'm thinking about you.I'm instantly awake and smiling as I type back.Me: Hey you. I was thinking about you too. I had microwave meatloaf for dinner. I have no idea what I just ate. It may have been iguana meat. I miss your dinners. ;)Kyra: I see what I mean to you now ;) You're probably buried in white fur too, huh?Me: Pretty much.Kyra: I'm not sure I feel bad...Me: I miss everything. Not just you taking care of me.Kyra: I miss you, too.My eyes latch onto those words and I'm very aware of how quickly and naturally we slip into these moments of what I can only think of as longing. And flirting. I attempt to U-turn the conversation with idle chatter.Me: I have good news. RemElara the dog we've been trying to catch by the river for months? We got him today.Kyra: Omg finally!!!!! Is he okay?Me: He is now. He was actually stuck IN the river, off Suicide Bridge. Thalen had to go in on a rope to get him out.Kyra: Holy crap! That’

Chapter 54

Tor POVMy brain spins round and round like a merry-go-round that's tilting off its axis. This moment, my response, could change everything. Do I do the right thing and reply as her lifelong friend? Say something polite? Or do I show her a piece of the man she's playing with?I'm tired of the fight. I'm lonely. I want to play.My fingers fly defiantly over the keyboard, leading me straight into the fire.Me: Are you kidding? I fucking love them. You look incredible. Are there more?Kyra: Yes.Me: I want to see them. Please.I feel dizzy and intoxicated as more pictures flood my screen. I'm like a rabid junkie getting a fix, and I can't get enough. All the photos are classy and sensual, but they capture her perfectly in a way I've been trying to pretend for months that I haven't noticed. She's turned into a drop-dead gorgeous woman with a body that could very well turn me into an animal and make me beg for just five minutes with her.Me: How did your hair grow so fast?Kyra: It's a

Chapter 55

Tor POVShe's looking off to the side, her mouth slightly parted, her long ebony eyelashes lying against her cheek. It's hands-down the most sensual photo I've ever seen. I want to print it, frame it, and hang it over my bed where it can be the first thing I see every morning. My finger slides across the screen, along the curve of her waist. Wishing. Wanting.Me: That last one, Angel. It fucking ended me.Kyra: I like that one, too. I can't believe that’s me.Me either.Me: I'm speechless. I think I'm going to need a cold shower.Kyra: LOLMe: I'm dead fucking serious. The things I would do to you. You gotta stop.Kyra: Tell me.Me: No.Kyra: Tor. Don't close up. I like you this way. Just let us have this for tonight. It's just a fun fantasy. Make it my birthday present.Me: I already have a present for you.Kyra: Then let me have two :-)My chest tightens. I want to give her everything. I want to be her everything.I type something quick and generic but then delete it, because it's c

Chapter 56

Kyra POVTor ~ age fifteen Elara ~ age fourteen Aiden ~ age fifteenBeing shy sucks. It took me weeks of smiling at the new girl in our class, Elara, to work up the balls to ask her if I could walk her home after school. She's shy too, though, and now we're walking in awkward silence. I want to hold her hand, but I can't tell if she wants me to. I've got my guitar with me, slung over my back in its case since I'm playing in a school project, so I ask her if she wants to stop at the park and listen to me play. I lose myself in the music when I play, and it always calms me down, stripping me of my insecurities. One thing I know I do well is create music and write lyrics."Sure," she says. "I do some singing. I'm not great, but I love to do it anyway. If it makes your ears hurt, I promise I'll stop."It turns out she does, in fact, have an amazing voice, and my shyness starts to fade as we sit at a picnic table. I play some of her favorite hit songs and she sings along. I try not to

Chapter 57

Kyra POVIs it all a matter of social perspective? Is it possible that falling in love doesn't always start when we think it might, and sometimes it starts way before we're ready, and grows slowly over time, allowing two people to truly fall in love with every aspect of each other? Rather than the more typical way of meeting a stranger, being attracted to them first, dating them, having feelings for them, and then hoping they'll like you too and not rip your heart out?I wish I had someone to talk to about all these confusing feelings, but I'm not ready to even attempt to go down that road yet.Grabbing my cell phone, I perch on the edge of my bed and read over the text conversation again, frowning at my own words. My replies to his photo and to his sensual admissions are disappointing. I should have come back with an equally honest admission of what I want and felt. He crept over the wall tonight, took a peek at me, and let me see a peek of him. Maybe it was wrong of me to send him

Chapter 58

Tor POVKyra ~ age thirteen Tor ~ age twenty-eightI glance at the clock again above the fireplace. It's only five minutes later than it was the last time I looked at it, but it feels like an hour has passed. I've been sitting in this chair in Aiden's living room all night, listening to the tick of that clock with one ear and the sound of the door with the other. But there hasn't been a sound at the door, and with each passing minute I'm getting more worried.I call her cell phone again and it goes straight to voicemail. I don't bother leaving a message."Fuck," I mutter, grabbing my car keys off the coffee table. I pull on my sweatshirt as I head for the back door just as she's coming in."Where the hell have you been?" Anger and relief flood through me. "Why didn't you answer your phone?"Her big green eyes widen as she peeks up at me from behind her bangs.I grab her chin and lift her face up into the light. "Are you wearing lipstick? And eyeliner?"She pushes my hand away. "

Chapter 59

Tor POVThat night I had a tattoo appointment with my good friend and artist, Lukas Callis, who also happens to be Aiden's cousin.When he gets me situated in the leather chair in his work area, I hand him the faded piece of paper with the image I want him to do tonight. He looks at it for a few minutes, his black shaggy hair falling over his eyes, then chews his lip ring as he lays the image on his work table.His silence makes me think I made a mistake having him do this one. I should have gone to someone I don’t know to have a picture tattooed on my chest that was drawn by a little girl — especially when that little girl happens to be the tattoo artist’s niece.I'm so fucking stupid."So, how ya been, man?" he finally asks, leaning over me in the chair.The familiar buzz and burn of the gun starts in my left pec. "Good. Work's been busy so that's always good."He nods. "Same here. Business is going great.""Aiden's been raving about your violin intro on the new CD.""Yeah?" His ey

Chapter 60

Kyra POVTor ~ age seventeen Aiden ~ age seventeenAiden and I are in his father’s private home studio jamming when Ash drops this huge bomb on me."We're getting married two weeks after we graduate."My hand freezes on my guitar and I stare at him sitting on a stool in front of the mic with a big grin on his face."Married?" I repeat."Yeah. We don't want to wait. And we're going to get a small apartment in town. I already put a deposit down on it. We don't want to live with my parents anymore."I blink at him like he's insane. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to live here for their entire life. His parents’ house is monstrous, with an indoor and an outdoor pool, sauna, freakin' music studio, and bathroom for every day of the week. Not to mention a refrigerator that's always stocked with food."Ash, you guys are living in a small mansion here. You have your own suite of rooms. You don't even pay rent. Why would you want to move out?""Because my parents are always hovering.
