Zodiac Academy: The Awakening As Told By The Boys Zodiac Academy 1.5

One kiss from her would be a sin, but it might just be worth getting down on my knees in penance for.

She was the sun embodied and I’d spent so long in the dark, all I wanted was a few moments in its heat. Was that really such a crime?

I had her in my arms again and I didn’t want to let go. She was the summer sun after the longest winter of my life and all I wanted to do was bask in her glow.

Fuck, if her hate makes me this savage, one drop of her love would corrupt me to my core.

This was her, this show of undeniable power which went on and on. She was a hurricane trapped in a jar and this was only the beginning of the storm.

I wanted my hand fisted in her black hair, her mouth on mine and her naked flesh pressed up against me as she gasped my name like a prayer to a god and I ruined her like a demon born to sin.

I found my gaze wandering over her face, unable to ignore the beauty of her petite features, or the way those eyes seemed to swallow up my entire soul.

That was the way of death, sometimes it crept out of the shadows and stole away loved ones without warning. Other times, it descended like a dark cloud, a storm rolling towards shore from a distant horizon, the warning there, but the arrival just as inevitable.

I wanted to pull her apart and find out what went on beneath her skin. Because if her blood ran as cold as the aura she was giving off then I was going to have trouble with this little ice queen. But that description just didn't seem right to me, because more than once I'd seen a flash of heat in her, the kind of fire that I just couldn't resist getting closer to, needing to find out what it felt like to burn in it.
