"Why did you come here? Why... «Godsgrave»

About all the things that brought me to this point. The things that made me what I am, and all the things I could`ve been if I`d been given a choice. And then I didn`t want to think anymore." "So that`s all this was?" Ashlinn kept her face steady, her voice cool, but Mia could see the storm building in that sunsburned blue. "Just a distraction?" "The sweetest distraction," Mia smiled. "No jesting," Ashlinn said. "You run hot and cold as a faulty bathhouse, and if this was just a quick roll to fuck unpleasant thoughts away, that`s fine. I`d rather that than a ruse to see the ink on my skin. But whichever it was, I need to know." "It was neither, Ash." "I know a lie when I taste it, Mia." Mia sighed, shook her head. She`d pondered it on the way here, stealing down through the neverending streets. Why it hadn`t been right before, why it felt right now. Her fight with Furian had left her enflamed, her fight with Sid had done nothing to sate it. But it wasn`t simply that, wasn`t the thought of her parents or the painful reminders of being locked up in that place or the thought of where she`d been or what was to come. "I thought about all the things I could`ve been if I`d been given a choice," she finally said. "And I realized that mostly I`ve never had one. Ever since my father was killed, my feet were set upon this course. No denying it. No escape. So I wanted to choose something for myself. Something that could just be mine. My choice." Mia looked at Ash, running trembling fingertips across her cheek. "And I chose you." Ashlinn simply stared, bee-stung lips parted as she breathed, and Mia found herself falling, down into a long, sweet kiss. Ashlinn surged against her, hands cupping her face, lost in the sweetness of a kiss that seemed to shiver all the way to Mia`s soul. She pulled away only with reluctance, dark eyes searching Ashlinn`s own. "Do I taste like I`m lying?" she asked.
