.She was absolutelyexquisite.Grace hesitantly stepped into theroom sidestepping the now fightingcouple.I didn t even look at Lea soutfit; I couldn t take my eyes off ofGrace.Her hair fell down in wild blackwaves with streaks of deep purple thatreflected into her lavender-silver eyes.A silky deep purple shirt plungeddaringly down her chest showing theperfect perky roundness of her very fullbreasts.A short fringed up denim skirthugged her hips that showed off a pair oflegs that went on forever.I pulled myself off the wallslowly and greedily examined everyinch of her bare skin.I lingered my gazeon her eyes and lips the longest and Iknew she noticed because of thebreathtakingly shy smile she gave me.Islowly walked over to her and gentlyreached for her hand.I entwined herfingers in mine, lifted my hand over herhead, and twirled her around slowly. I have never seen anyone moreexquisite in my entire life, Grace.Youseem to have this knack of making mecompletely.breathless. I spun heraround again, brushing the silky hair offher soft shoulders.My breathingstopped; caught somewhere deep in mylungs.Lightly touching the skin on hershoulder, I inhaled deeply, You haveanother tattoo, I exhaled in a whisper.Itraced the lines with my fingers, a pairof broken angel s wings.The corners of her mouth slowlylifted upward sexily. I bet that s yoursignature line to try to pick up women,huh? She looked right into my eyes, asif she was actually looking at the realme , Shamsiel, for the very first time. They are my angel wings.To remindme and to honor what I ve lost.I flinched as if she smacked me.Selfishly, I wanted her to be talkingabout me.I wanted her tattoo to be thepair of wings that I wore when I was anangel.The wings that were broken andtaken from my body because I had fallenin love with a human girl who lookedjust like her over two thousand yearsago.But, I knew it wasn t for me. Your family, I murmured.Was my selfishness a sin? Whatman could stand before this creature andnot want the same thing? I will neverregret how I longed for her like I wouldnever regret how I felt for Selah.What Selah and I shared wascompletely innocent; a simple kiss.Before the world was what it is today,when there was paradise on Earth andangels walked among men.A simplekiss which gave me an eternity in hell.I held Grace s hand as wewalked the snowy streets to the bar.Shekept her bottom lip tightly between herteeth the whole way as if she washolding back a secret.And Lea keptgiving our hands a sideways glance anda smile.Boozer s was the most crowdedI had ever seen it.When we walkedthrough the doors, Grace gasped andsqueezed my hand tighter.I slid myhands around her waist and pulled her inclose. You nervous?Her sparkling eyes scanned thecrowd, Excited. Her eyes looked upto meet mine.God, I wanted to kiss her. You know, for the first time in along time, me too.I can t wait until theyhear you, and I can t wait to play by yourside up there.The way she smiled back at mewas heart stopping.The place was crowded enoughthat we couldn t even get our regulartable, so we crowded around a booththat Alex had taken over from a bunch ofcollege girls.He sat in the middle ofthem with a Burger King crown on hishead.I grabbed a few chairs from oneof the back rooms and we were allhaving a great time, until Tucker showedup.He sauntered in with his Guccisuit, tie undone, and his hair slickedback.He brought an entourage of peoplefrom work, escorting them all right toG r a c e.All men of course, I wassurprised he didn t bring his piece ofshit drug addict cousin Blake.I knewBlake was back in town because he kepthitting me up on my phone trying to getme to party with him again.But I wasn tever going back to drugs, hell no.I justignored his calls.Tucker s friends openly ogledGrace, and it fucking killed me. Yourgirl has a great ass, Tucker, one of theguys who was about to get a fist to thehead said.I held my tongue though; Iwas waiting to see what Grace sreaction was.I was waiting to see if shewanted me to say something or see if shewas getting uncomfortable.Fuck, I hadno idea what the hell I was doing.Mydamn leg was tapping up against the legof the chair and it shook the wholefreaking table.I clenched my fists and Iknew I was about to blow.I knew I hadno rights to her, but I also knew therewas something going on between us.Ijust didn t know what yet.I reallyneeded to follow her lead because Ididn t want to mess anything up.Then Tucker touched her.He put his greasy fucking handson the bare skin of her back and slidthem down towards her ass.MY ASS!Hell, I know it s not really my ass, butit s& no it s MY ASS!I flew out of my seat andlaunched myself between them.Maninsane.I shoved Tucker away, not hard,because I didn t want to kill the jerk.Igrabbed Grace by the waist and pulledher towards the stage, Okay.Almosttime to go onstage, so let s have a bandmeeting before we do this!I knew that Ethan and Braydenwere looking at me as if I was messedup.God, no wonder why everyonethought that I started using drugs again.Iwas acting like a lunatic.I didn t care.Tucker wasn t allowed to touch her likethat.Ethan and Brayden both raisedtheir eyebrows.Ethan chuckled andshook his head.Brayden froze insurprise. Huh, why? Just shut up and let s go! Isnapped.Holy shit, I m bat-shit crazy. You guys go ahead; I ll be therein a few minutes.I think I need to talk toTucker alone, Grace said.Holy crap,her words felt like they were a KNIFESTABBING ME IN THE GOD DAMNHEART! Go ahead, Shane.I ll be rightthere.People would call the cops if Idragged her away right now, right?Tucker stepped forward andshoved his face in mine, Yeah, Shane.Give us a few.She ll still be able toplay when I m done with her, I promise [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
