Enchanted by the Dark

[Aria]

Irritation. Jealousy. Things Aria didn't really peg Dane for but then she didn't really know the man. She knew next to nothing of him - except what was in the Atharim file and what she herself had seen. And she still wasn't sure exactly what had transpired. Dane was dangerous - but how.

Aria wondered how he knew about Nox. And in that moment of wonder things started clicking together. Both returned from Mexico. Aria knew Nox had been there - had returned home from there... Aria didn't want to know what they did together, but she could feel the jealousy inside welling up.

She looked at Dane his face showed no emotions. Yet Aria knew he was jealous. And jealous of Nox - she wanted to laugh, but she didn't. Aria sighed. "Nox is a friend - nothing more."


Aria could feel the urge building to touch Dane. It was the one thing she dreamed of... He'd forged a connection and it was all she wanted. Thing with Lucas had been good, really good, but she hadn't longed for his touch like Danes. Aria pulled her hand back to reduce temptation. The last time she touched Dane, they killed someone together.

Aria whispered. "There is nothing to be jealous of about Nox."
She couldn't say the same about Lucas.
