1 Her Elysium:

Prologue:

"Deacon...we cannot continue this." I whispered, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. This was ridiculous. I was married for God's sake.

Deacon watched me, amber eyes narrowing slightly,

"If you didn't want this to continue...why come back here?" Only then did I release the bridge of my nose to stare at him incredulously. Why did I come back here? Was it because there was an undeniable attraction between us? Was I spiteful after what happened with my husband?

Pondering on my own questions, I hadn't noticed Deacon snake his arms around my waist. Warm amber crashed with forest green, it felt like in that moment he could see my naked soul and all it had to say.

"Why did you come back here, love?" At that moment, I couldn't even answer his question, I didn't know the answer myself.

Or maybe I did and I wasn't ready to admit it yet.
