ELIA
Elia had kissed men before. She'd even engaged in other… activities occasionally. But the truth was, she'd never truly wanted a man before. She'd always felt slightly afraid—or on one occasion, downright bored.
Being in Reth's arms, she forgot all of that. It was as if his touch lit fireworks under her skin—little points of light and heat that sparkled and trailed to fade away long after his fingers had moved on.
He made her feel alive.
The warmth of the water, the gentle hiss of the waterfall in the next pool, the echo of the rocks… it all felt like a cocoon of love and heat.
She wanted more.
