"We're in a book!" Cristian couldn't believe it but the scenes before him were proof. "I can easily cage anyone here and wait for reinforcement, so..." Erika placed her palm on his chest and gazed at his face.
"I believe I have the means to protect myself."
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he found himself back in the forest with Erika by his side. "I don't think I'll be forgetting that for a while." Cristian admitted and Erika covered her mouth.
Her cheeks inflated as she struggled to hold back her laughter.
All of a sudden, Cristian wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing her body against his. Warmth spread throughout her body as she subconsciously clutched his tunic.
Her eyes flickered as she gazed into his pitch-black eyes. "Don't let yourself get hurt." He said.
She felt a bit strange hearing those words but a sly smile crept up her lips and she linked her arms around his neck.
