Kissing Danger
He is concerned something is going on back down on the beach, something that can hurt me.
"It's okay, I have weapons,” he responds, his tone cold, all the tension that I had managed to get out of him is back. He holds my wrist to the point it hurts, leading me up the path at a speed that I can hardly keep up with.
I force him to pause. "Eryk, how dangerous is this world?"
"You're safe, I promise,” he assures me, turning back toward the house. I look over my shoulder, stopping short at the sight of a group of men approaching us on the path, each of their gazes trained on mine.
