His kiss, sent shivers down her spine, a tingling sensation crawling through out her body, as if the kiss itself were alive, she shuddered with delight. The touch of cheek against her skin was electrifying, more so than the story though she was mesmerized by his voice, its melodic qualities entrancing her as she listened to its bittersweet ending. She turned to kiss him, to partake in what she had wanted since before she had left for Machu Picchu, before she had been attacked.<br/><br/>Her lips brushed his in a gentle kiss, the setting perfect, a private room the two of them alone and yet surrounded by others throughout the tea room, and just as she was about to deepen the kiss, the clouds revealed the full moon, her first since that almost fatal moment in the mountains of Peru. Her beast's reaction was immediate, she fell to floor, screaming in pain, a black spotted fur appearing along her back.
