buildings in the world. I saw the outline of his figure just ten feet in front of me, his eyes focused on the beauty of the city below us, lights blazing brightly out into the star-dusted sky.
    Slipping my arms around his waist from behind, I nuzzled my lips to his ear. “Lady Milligan is here to meet Lord Parsons.”
    He spun around without saying a word and kissed me with fiery fervor, just like the night of my Guardian induction, only more passionately this time. Goosebumps rose, covering my arms as a chill coursed down my spine. The breeze caressed my neck as I fell into the confines of his sultry lips. There was something so ravishing and tantalizing about Trey. He was easy on the eyes, but he was so amorous when it came to letting you know how he felt with the heat of his kiss.
    People passed by the two of us, inquisitively watching our ravishing public display of affection. Whether you were an angel or an average person, there was something magical about being here. Especially on a night like tonight, when the stars dripped their jewels of light onto the people beneath them. You couldn’t help but feel closer to heaven when you were 104 floors above the streets below. Reality couldn’t help but fade away.
    Pulling his lips from mine, he pulled me close. I kept my eyes closed and nuzzled my head into his chest as I breathed in the sensuality of this amazing creature that made my blood boil with desire.
    “You look amazing, by the way.” His breath was hot as it passed over my ear.
    “As do you, Trey.”
    Opening my eyes, I watched the people buzzing about around us, many with their shimmery bursts of light following them aimlessly. It only heightened the sensation of perfection as I lived in the moment, Trey’s arms wrapped around me tightly.
    “So, what are these magical plans of yours this evening?”
    “Isn’t this magical enough for you, sweet Mac?” he said playfully, his deep laughter filling the air around us.
    “It is, but I have to admit, this girl could use a bite to eat.”
    Pulling away from me, he took my hand in his and smiled. “Dinner it is, dessert later,” he replied, a sly grin across his face. “How does that sound?”
    “Let’s see how dinner goes first.” I winked at him, biting my lip in embarrassment and resisting the overwhelming hunger to plant another kiss on his lips.
    I thought of Evan, as we stood close within the confines of the elevator, Trey’s hand still tightly gripping mine. His face lit up my visions, but I pushed them aside with pure fervor, vowing to keep my focus on Trey tonight. If Evan needed my presence, I would know it. His spirit lay still this evening, but my heart pounded within my chest. And I was quite certain it wasn’t because of Trey, which left me feeling unworthy and afraid of what I had been given.

    Trey’s gaze left me feeling incredibly self-conscious as I tried to eat my linguine in a lady-like manner. The candlelight flickered across his face, his eyes portraying a flame of passion unlike anything I had ever seen before. He was so strikingly handsome with his dimpled chin and high cheekbones. I felt so undeserving of his presence, his devotion…his desire to be with someone like me. There were countless beautiful young women within the Guardians, why he had chosen this simple and often impatient girl – I knew I would never understand.
    “Can I ask you something, Trey?” I said genuinely, laying my fork aside and propping my chin within my hands.
    “Of course you can.”
    I watched as he took a swig of his iced tea and wiped the perfect lips that I longed to kiss once more.
    “What is it you want to know, Mac?”
    I fumbled with my words before drawing up the courage to proceed. “Why, of all people…women, I mean…have you chosen to be with me? I guess I just feel somewhat unworthy to be with you.”
    He smiled and snickered aloud. “How can you say that, Macy? You’re incredibly
