Elected (The Elected Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
I want so much to run into his arms and tell him it’s a fantastic idea. I can’t speak for fear I’ll say yes, so I just shake my head back and forth. It’s all I can manage. Griffin nods back at me, like he knew I’d say no. Then he turns again and exits through the gate. Does he know my “no” isn’t my real answer? I want to tell him in other circumstances I’d, of course, want to be with him. But I’ve already told him we cannot act on our feelings together. I’m the Elected now, and I’m married. Any indiscretion I do with Griffin is not only a slight against my country; it’s a betrayal of my wife. Vienne’s having sex with Griffin is different than my being together with him. For her it’s a duty. For me it would be a desire. I wipe my hand in frustration across my lips and refrain from running after Griffin. I keep myself busy for the rest of the day, trying not to think of the impending evening when Vienne and Griffin will be together.
