Forsaken
An undeniable rush of pure energy circuits straight through me, making my entire soul buzz with life.
Lucian steps even closer, letting more of our bodies touch. His head is just above mine, close enough for me to hear his raging, erratic heartbeat and desperate breaths. My body goes into a frantic, hyper-aware reboot. His height shadows over me, his presence a powerful, warm thing I desperately want to latch onto.
