though you said you wouldn't.”
    “I'm sorry, but you tasted so good. I couldn't help myself.”
    Inez smiled when she saw him blush. “Don't worry about it. I know I overreacted. You didn't deserve it.”
    “So, does this mean I can kiss you as much as I want?”
    Inez laughed then. “Yes, you can.” She placed her hand against his cheek. “You are different. I have never looked at a man the way I look at you.”
    H e gave her a surprised look, but it disappeared fast. He suddenly turned his head and looked toward the cave's exit.
    Everything became very, very quiet. The air got tense.
    Then Aledyan's eyes went big, and once again fear crossed his handsome features.
    “No,” he gasped.
    Before she knew it they were on their feet, and Aledyan dragged her back inside the cave.
    “What is it?” she asked.
    “He's here,“ Aledyan said. “Yorin is here.”

Chapter 13
     
    Fear shot through every p art of her body when she heard Aledyan's words. She quickly turned her gaze toward the exit, but didn't see anyone.
    “He's almost here,” he said. “You must hide.”
    “Where?”
    “In my bedroom,” he answered while he picked up her backpack. “He never goes there.”
    “I thought we had a day or two.”
    “So did I,” he said and grabbed her hand again. “But for some reason he chose to show up earlier this time.”
    Inez didn't protest when he led her toward his resting area. She looked quickly around. There wasn't much there, just a simple bed with a worn out mattress that stood in the shadows. It was as if she entered a little room without any door. It was a good place to hide. The warlock would never know she was there, unless he took a look. From the outside, this place was covered in shadows.
    Aledyan thr ew her backpack on the ground and grabbed her face between his hands. Once her eyes got used to the darkness she noticed once again despair and fear in his beautiful features, but this time because of other reasons.
    “Please, stay here,” he pleaded . “Make no sounds and don't reveal yourself, no matter what you hear.” He pressed his lips against hers, fast and hard, desperately. “Please, Inez.”
    She nodded slowly and swallowed  hard. “I will stay.”
    His arms closed around her. “I don't know what I would do if something happened to you,” he said as he kissed her again, and left.
    Her arms felt suddenly empty. He disappeared around the corner, and a loneliness she hadn't expected to feel entered her heart. It was as if she had seen him for the last time.
    S he could hear him move around in the other part of the cave, and she started to fear for his life. She feared what the warlock would do to him.
    She didn't understand any of this. So much had happened so quickly that it took her breath away just thinking about it. She barely knew him, but was drawn to him in a way she had never felt drawn to any man before. This was not like her. She didn't trust men. They had done nothing but hurt her, so why should she trust them? Why she would all of a sudden want to give her heart to a stranger, and above all an angel, she couldn't figure out, but at the same time she felt that it was too late. She had already given him her heart, just like that. There was no turning back. She would fight for him now.
    Reason never went hand in hand with emotions, it seemed.
    Everything was quiet . All she heard was her own breathing and Aledyan's footsteps. She cringed against the wall, tried to make herself as small as possible. Just waiting, for something of which no good could come ...
    Several minutes passed by without anything happening. Ma ybe Aledyan had made a mistake. She started to feel tired. The exhaustion from today's unexpected experiences were slowly catching up with her. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she started to doze off, slipping into the world of dreams.
    A sudden sound of harsh laughter made her gasp and awaken quickly. It belonged to a man, and she immediately didn't like him. It was a
