The Fire Beneath The Frost

<p><strong>Don't give anyone a reason to notice you.</strong></p><p>I never meant to want him.<br>Not like this. Not this much.</p><p>Dimitri is all sharp edges and quiet strength-untouchable in every way that counts. We work side by side saying nothing pretending we don't feel the air charge between us like a storm about to break.</p><p>But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. I know how it feels when he finally lets go-rough hands hungry mouth like he's starving for something he was never allowed to taste.</p><p>What we have is dangerous. It's illegal. It's the kind of love that could ruin us both.</p><p>And still I'd risk everything to have him.</p><p>Because once we start there's no going back.<br>We fight. We fall. We burn.<br>And if we make it out alive it'll be because we clawed our way to that ending-bloody breathless and finally together.</p><p><br> </p>
