The cold seeped into his limbs, but he didn't dare climb into the bedroll with Eva. He had learned his lesson.
It wasn't a question of would he lose control, but how badly would he lose it? How much of his heart would be left after she left him at the Capital?
Lucas rested his head on his knees as he contemplated his future. The plan he had laid out for himself felt crazy.
Yet he would do it all to be with Eva. The only restraint he had was a human's short lifespan. Trying to earn the achievements necessary to be able to become a noble then establishing himself would be difficult.
However, he could not think of any other way he could spend his forever with Eva.
Right now, he could throw all caution to the wind and let his basic instincts take over. It would be simple, easy even.
The scent of her hair, her ever inviting eyes, all of it drew him in like a moth to a flame. Ugh. He almost lost the self control that he was so sure he had.
