Chapter 56 Rekindling Flames

Ariana’s POV

Damon’s breathing was strangled, intense.

His aura had totally consumed me and I remained in his arms, frozen. I always thought he was dangerous even though I also knew he wouldn’t hurt me.

Why I thought he was dangerous was because I never knew what to do around him, and the only way to describe it was intense — he was too intense for me.

With Jasper I remembered love to be normal.

Letters that spawned in a month or two telling the other about our achievement in our respective fields with promises of meeting again. Even when he was still at Warwick, when we saw all the time all we—he talked about was the kingdom, and I listened.

I didn’t know how to handle something like this as no one told me feelings for a person could exist in such a form.

No one told me love could be like this—all consuming, and like a permanent tattoo on the skin, on the soul.

“Did you miss me?” The question came out as barely a whisper, something meant for just me.

I said nothing.
