" Noah fit his hands to the curve of my waist. "Tell me," he said.
He looked inhumanly beautiful under the lights. It almost hurt to look at him, but it would have hurt more to look away.
"Tell me," he said again. There was need in his voice, and I didn't have the strength to refuse.
"She said I have to let you go."
He drew me closer. Brushed a strand of hair from my face, trailed his fingers along the curve of my neck. "Why?"
I closed my eyes. The words ached as they left my throat. "Because you'll die by my side if I don't."
Noah slid his arms around me and fitted me against him. "It isn't real," he whispered into my hair.
Maybe it wasn't. But even if it was... "I'm too selfish to leave you," I said.
Noah pulled back so I could see his smile. "I'm too selfish to let you. "
