Relinquish: Book II Of The Rising Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
He looks at me expectantly, but his face falls with regret as I walk into his arms and bury my face in his neck, wrapping my arms under his to clasp his shoulders. It is the same every time I return from being with Aloysius. Bastien holds me, not having to say a word. His presence is enough to wash away the feeling of being in Aloysius’s arms. That and a scalding shower. I pull back and step away, unable to look at him as I speak. “We have two days.” “‘Til what?” “‘Til the wedding.” “So soon.” He hisses as he sucks in a breath. I can tell even without turning around that he is gritting his teeth. “You okay?” “No,” I whisper, wrapping my arms about my waist. Strong arms encircle me and I lean back into his grasp. He presses his lips against my neck, holding me. I can feel his anger and his helplessness.
