Story: Seth
It was obvious that although human, he interacted with immortals.She could smell the vampire and shifter scents on him again, so he knew about her world.That led to another question.How did he know so many immortals?Would it be rude to ask him?
While she pondered whether she could trust Seth, she absently listened to the lecture.She could sense Seth’s every move—when he glanced at her, when he shifted closer—and she felt warmed at his attention.His heart beat steadily in his chest, and she found listening to it comforting.
Too soon, class ended and they stood.She sucked in a breath as he laid his hand on her arm.
“Would you like to go somewhere and talk?I would love to get to know you.”
Unable to speak, she shook her head, not quite ready to be alone with the human who affected her in ways she had yet to understand.“I…not yet, okay?”
He smiled at her and handed her a folded piece of paper.“I understand.I’ll see you next week.”
His hand slid down her arm, causing her to shiver, before he reached for her hand.He squeezed it, sending her heart racing, before he let go and stepped back.With one last quirk of his lips, he turned and jogged up the stairs to the exit.Before he left, he turned back and gave her a small wave, which she returned, and he disappeared.
Did I just make the worst mistake of my life?
Her hand tightened at the thought.When the paper crinkled in her hand, she looked down at it curiously.Flipping open the note with her fingers, she smiled.He had written down his phone number.
