A shrill scream echoed in the silence of the night.
Hellion's mischievous smirk turned into a satisfied one as he slowly turned around. Soon his expression changed again into a startled one when she jumped right on him.
He didn't have much time to think or stabilize himself as her sudden jump caused him to lose balance. The crippling edge of the sand didn't help either, causing him to land on his back with Claudia on top of him.
He was holding her wrists as he looked up at her in surprise. He wasn't expecting her to come to him with such force. She wasn't heavy but as her torso was pressed above his, he could feel the warmth of her body penetrating through his torn shirt. Suddenly he desired to flip their positions and the thought horrified him the next moment.
