Chapter 24

I was lost in Evan’s addicting lips. If I’d know kissing him would be this good, I would’ve have done it before. Our breaths were heavy as if we’d just run a marathon. I got on my tiptoes to wrap my long arms around his neck, and I could feel the rapid fall and rise of his chest against mine. Cold rain was dousing us from head to toe but I actually felt warm in his arms. I wanted to stay like this forever. I didn’t want anything to ruin this perfect moment. Unfortunately for me, we were humans and we needed to breathe.

 I was feeling light-headed already.

Reluctantly, I pulled away from him to take a deep breath in. I didn’t open my eyes, but pressed my forehead against his. My heart was pumping blood fast through my veins, making me feel invigorated. My entire body was throbbing, not to mention the rebel dragons fluttering in my stomach. Evan’s ragged breath was fanning my lips.

“I can’t,” he murmured, so low that I’d barely heard him through the heavy rain.

“What?” I opened my eyes slowly.

 His expression was blank, and there was no trace of the regret and need I’d seen on his face before the kiss. He grabbed my wrists to remove my hands from his neck and took a step backwards, breaking all contact between us. Instantly, my body felt cold without his touch. I stared at him confused.

He ran his fingers through his wet hair and rolled his lower lip into his mouth before speaking, “I’m sorry.” Pure regret flooded from his mouth.

“W-What?” I spluttered, confused. I tried to reach him but he stepped backwards. My chest tightened. “Evan?” It was then I noticed his tensed shoulders and defensive pose. There was something wrong here.

“Ah, shit!” he exclaimed, turning around holding his head.

“Evan, what’s wrong?” I asked bewildered. I thought everything was more than fine, I thought that kiss was a good sign – that he would finally open up to me. Apparently, I thought wrong. Evan turned to me once again, determination plastered on his face.

“I can’t do this,” he said coldly. “And I won’t.”
