Chapter 57: Guilt

Sun had risen, breaking the darkness of the night, and the darkness surrendered every color changed from charcoal to vibrancy mixed with white. The road ahead of them was clear. The snow from last night had settled over the pines and the firs and at several places on the sides. As the car sped ahead the forest passed as white blur on the sides. 

Elize settled in the warmth of Caleb's lap and against his body. She placed head on his chest and opened the first two buttons without thinking. She took her fingers over there and started playing with his hair. Gods, she loved the way his muscles jumped at her touch. Such hard muscles. She trailed every line fondly. Suddenly a memory flashed across her mind in which she had sunk her teeth in his chest and lapped up blood from there. Little did she know that his eyes became heavily lidded under her guileless ministrations. "Where is Edyrm now?" she asked absent-mindedly, resisting an urge to kiss him over there.
