Kissing Danger
Before I open my mouth to scream, Stace appears from behind Larsen, grabbing the man’s clothed shoulder to turn him to face him.
"Larsen, don't touch her,” Stace warns, pushing Larsen back in a way that has the Noble stumbling back a few steps. There’s no evidence of sleep on Stace’s eyes as he looks over us both, examining the situation that nearly transpired, although his hair is as mussed and frantic as he looks right now.
"You can't protect her, Stace...Not unless you're as evil as him.” Larsen adjusts himself, looking back at me with his hands still exposed.
