Kael.
I thought I was mad when I woke up to the scent of Leilani filling the air like some damned incense. I thought that perhaps I was losing it when I heard her soft voice coming from a couple of rooms away, echoing around the house like ghosts of my past that had returned in a bid to tempt me.
My eyes flew open in panic and I threw the blanket off my now sweat soaked body before I swiftly rose from the bed… But like this, wide awake, her voice still tempted me more than it had in my sleep. It still rang in my head as if reminding me of what could be but isn't.
"What the heck is happening?" I hissed under my breath as I paddled to the bathroom barefooted and sprinkled some cold water on my face.
The shock of having water so cold against my skin jerked me fully awake, but do you know what happened next?
I didn't stop hearing her voice. If anything, it got louder.
I didn't stop perceiving her very… goddess, her very mouth watering scent.
