141 Temptation

Meredith opened her mouth but it remained soundless with shock. Surprise drained the blood from her face and with a shaky hand she touched the nape of her neck.

How could she forget about what had happened last night?

A delicious shudder shot through her as she remembered his touch on her skin, and the way he had felt inside of her.

He was the temptation her soul thirst for; filling all of her broken emptiness,and making her whole again. He was her dark side, someone she couldn't resist.

And then a deep sorrow wound its way through her heart, leaving her breathless, as she remembered with sharp clarity all that she had lost - she couldn't be with him.

Panic and despair swept over her and she began to sweat as she tried not to hyperventilate, and to think of answers.

What would happen if Marcus finds out that Atlas had spent the night with her? Even though there were no romantic feelings between them, he would definitely be angry.
