Six Moons Of Desire
Maxton woke up in a flawlessly whitewashed cottage.
The light was blinding at first, pure, unbroken white. Curtains, satins, linens, even the floor shimmered in ivory hues, so clean and surreal that it felt like he had woken inside a dream. Beyond the open window, he could hear the low sigh of the sea, waves folding endlessly upon themselves, filling the air with salt and calm. Everything smelled of summer, warmth, freedom, innocence. Though nothing about this moment was innocent.
