Basking in the Parisian morning sunlight, drinking in her beauty, I dropped my mouth to hers. “I love you, Jinx.”
She smiled beneath my lips. “I know.”
Our kiss once again evolved to something far from innocent. I wanted her. I didn’t want to share her in a large city.
“You coming or what?” Cal yelled.
Eleanor chuckled.
I sighed. “Suppose we better go.”
“We go together. We come home together. And then...we’ll enter Euphoria together and play.”
“And somehow, I just fell in love with you even more.”
“It’s a curse.” Eleanor kissed me again.
“A lifelong condition.” I squeezed her fingers.
“Forever.” She kissed my knuckles before tugging me toward the boat that would take us to Q, Tess, and yet another adventure.
An adventure set in the real world, embellished by our fantasies, and enjoyed with every heartbeat.
