Pleasure and relief went through her. She had wanted this so much, and now everything in her yearned towards him. His kiss was everything she’d wanted since their meeting. Nothing else in her life had been like it. Nothing else ever would be.

‘What have you done to me?’ he growled. ‘Why can’t I stop you doing it?’

Lysandros felt as if he were awaking from a dream, or sinking into one. He wasn’t sure which. Her plea of ‘kiss me’ was entrancing, yet something deep inside him was drawing away. He tried to fight it. He wanted her, but so much that it alarmed him.

Her creature! The words screamed at him. A puppet dancing on the end of her chain. And she knew it.

‘What is it?’ she asked, feeling him draw away.
