For the umpteenth time, Lucen Bright wished he hadn’t
been assigned this particular angel to mentor. Angela’s long red hair twisted
in a titian rope down her back. Her pale green eyes flashed with fire when she
was angry, and she was often angry. Especially whenever he had to try to break
the link to her mortal that she gripped so tightly.
She’d been an angel all year.
And he’d been fighting the urge to kiss her for half
of one.
“Look.” An eagle soared in the sky high above. Like
they could, if she’d only leave Tom behind and acknowledge the attraction that
blazed every time their eyes met. “Want to fly?”
“No.” She plucked a tall daisy from the grass, and
peeled back the stalk into long strips. “I don’t want to leave him.” Her voice
was hushed. Haunted by regret, shadowed by pain.
There was nothing for it. He’d tried to tell her how
it was. How the task of moving on was difficult, not only for those who were
left behind, but for those who had been forcibly ripped from the fabric of
life. She was so stubborn, nothing he said made any difference. But if she
stayed in Tom’s bed, the shock of sharing it with the petite blonde he’d been
dating for the past couple of weeks would traumatize her forever.
Maybe it was time to make her face facts. Accept that
heaven was right in front of her if she cared to look.
Lucen leaned close, breathed against her mouth, and
watched her eyes darken.
A breath puffed out in a shocked exhale. “Lucen.”
Before she could say anything else, he claimed her
lips with a kiss.
