"You didn't happen to try and kill me with your illusion magic?" I said. "Say in a grove in an indeterminate reality?"

His body blanketed mine. I was safe. His hands felt so right curled up against my sides, holding me like I was something precious, and cars passed as I was caught between a road and a deliciously hard place.

My breathing kicked up when Levi turned his head to whisper in my ear, "The day you push me to a non-negotiable act of homicide, I promise you'll see my face."

It sounded like that day might come sooner rather than later.

I shoved him off me. "Really? I always figured you for a knife in the dark kind of guy."
