the hollow between
those sexy bones that intersected her neck.
    She nodded, a little breathless as his
breath moved over her pulse. She wound her arms around his neck and
his lips traveled up to her jaw then made its way to her forehead.
He began peppering her face with butterfly kisses, his lashes
grazing her skin above his lips. Her breathing became shallower and
Jason picked her up and carried her to the bed.
    They lay together, head to hip, the heat of
their bodies one hot line. He moved against her, his hands on her
ribs, kneading her flesh as she wound a leg around his hip, their
mouths moving against each other.
    His hands traveled and Julia pulled
away.
    “Jason,” she
whispered.
    “What?” he said, never
breaking from his sensual assault on her. She could hardly breathe,
she just wanted... she wanted to finish what they started. But she
wanted forever more.
    She thought of her parents. Long gone. A
thread that tied the fabric of her being together.
    He paused and pulled back to look at her
face, a sliver of moonlight a pale slash across her eyes.
    He saw the expression there and pressed his
forehead against hers.
    “I know,” he
moaned.
    “I'm sorry,” Julia
whispered. “It's not that I don't trust you.”
    “I know,” he repeated
against the skin of her forehead.
    A lone tear escaped her eye and Jason caught
it, staring into those eyes. Those eyes that he'd looked into for a
decade.
    “I want to be married.
It's what my parents would have wanted,” she said and Jason felt
her tremble against him. He silently promised to make her first
time extra special. It'd be perfect if it killed him.
    “You still miss them,” he
asked as a statement, tightening his hold on her.
    “Every day,” she replied
through eyes that had glossed with a sheen of tears.
    He smiled. Jason wanted her so damn bad. It
wasn't just sex, he could have tapped any mindless alley cat in the
school.
    She was his and he was hers. Jason knew
Jules was the one he wanted from the moment he saw her.
    He leaned down and kissed the
crescent-shaped scar on her forehead, the only thing that marred
her perfect skin.
    He could wait. He could wait forever if it
meant being with her.
    They lay together in each other's arms until
dawn shattered the darkness into a million pieces of golden orange,
rose and scarlet, flinging the colors about the room like so much
broken glass.

CHAPTER 3
    Present Day
     
    Liquid lapped Julia and the water parted,
ice replacing the subtle undulation of comfort she'd been
under.
    She came to the surface of her consciousness
in a nauseating wave. She became aware that she was drowning.
    Drowning in hunger and weakness. She didn't
have the strength to move. Loud voices assailed her. They floated
around her, stabbing at her consciousness until she finally
understood where she was.
    If she'd had the strength, she would have
wept.
    The creatures that had stolen her life away
were arguing about her again.
    “I am phoning him. Gabriel
must be made aware of what is happening here!”
    Julia cracked open her eyes, wide and
grainy, her mouth felt like the Sahara Desert. She was so thirsty
her bones ached with it. How long had she been out?
    “She is killing herself,”
the one named William said. His fists were clenched and anxiety
tightened his already stark features.
    “Call him. Ask him what we
must do. If she is as important as you hypothesize, it is
necessary, no?” Pierce queried reasonably.
    She lay perfectly still but they heard a
change in her breathing and turned their silvered eyes to her.
    She had just enough energy to lift her
forearm and cover her eyes. She would not look at them.
    “Just kill me,” she said
listlessly. Without Jason, why go on? She couldn't bear to think of
all of it right now. The shards of that nightmare would not be a
memory she would look at any time soon.
    If ever.
    She didn't hear them approach but an icy
hand clamped around her forearm gently and moved it off of eyes
that ran with
