CHAPTER 4

Elijah stared down at her, his nerves strung so tight he worried he’d pop.

Starlight was here…

And all he could think about was touching her, tasting her.

Silk. Warmth. Pure temptation.

And even though he had no right to touch her, to think of her tangled up with him, Elijah couldn’t stop himself. His body responded to her without reason, as if they hadn’t been living separate lives for years… Eight years…

Her quiver revealed her lie. Starlight wasn’t immune to him… or not as much as she wanted to be.

“I don’t believe you, Star,” he argued.

She drew in a wavering breath.

“I couldn’t care less what you choose to believe or not.”

There was an edge to her voice. No, she wasn’t immune to him… but she was going to fight it, like the stubborn goddess she was. Her green eyes clashed with his blue eyes and Elijah smiled at her. God, she was still the most beautiful girl in the world… in the entire Universe.
