Chapter 263 Kiss

Tyler hummed under his breath in a thoughtful manner.

"Is she as studious as you?" he asked.

Melina shrugged.

"Not as much, but she's still pretty powerful," she replied.

She felt like she and Blair were around the same level when it came to practicing magic.

If they faced off, it would be a close match, but she had no intentions to fight her friend.

"We should have a rematch sometime," Tyler said, nudging her playfully. "But you can't electrocute me."

"You caught me off guard. I played fair," Melina laughed as she shook her head. She reacted exactly how she should've. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Tyler shared in her laughter, their amused sounds mingling together. When the noise died down, they still smiled at each other, their expressions softening as their shoulders touched.

"Would I only be able to feel your magic through your hands?" he asked her.

Melina gave him a perplexed look, wondering what he meant.

"I think it's all over my body," she told him.

"All over?" Tyler murmured as his eyes dropped down to her lips. "What else can you make me feel?"

Melina's heart threatened to beat out of her chest as her eyes slipped down to his lips. Her caution went out the window as his flirty words wrapped around her brain. She had an idea that she couldn't pass up.

"Want to see?" she asked him, feeling energy build up inside of her.

"Yeah, I'm... I don't really..." Melina kept trailing off, not sure how to word her response. When she saw Tyler gazing at her with a gentle expression, she finally pieced a sentence together. "I've never done anything with anyone before."

Tyler smiled at her as he sat up, brushing his fingers through her hair.

"Then, you should take your time. There's no need to rush," he assured her.

Melina felt her heart skip. She was glad that he was so nice about it. She always felt nervous at the prospect of having to tell someone that she was a virgin, even if it really wasn't a big deal. She just made it out to be in her head.

"Thank you," she told him sincerely.

"Want to keep talking?" Tyler asked her as he grabbed the wine. "We have plenty to drink."

With a light laugh, Melina nodded, looking forward to the rest of their "study session". She didn't even care that she didn't get any studying done. She had just as much fun learning about him.

There was no denying her feelings about Tyler. She really liked him and wanted to be around him as much as possible.

They saw each other before and after their classes, sneaking around and seeing each other as much as possible.

She couldn't remember how many times they kissed in dark corners, pretending the world wasn't around them. It felt like she had slipped into a dream, finally escaping the nightmare that her life had been lately.

Melina still hadn't told Blair about them yet. She felt bad about lying to her friend, but she knew that Blair would pitch a fit about her being with Tyler after she warned her to stay away from him.

She just didn't know him, and Melina didn't think that she was going to give him a chance and try to know him, even for her sake. That made her sad, but it was hard to stay sad when Tyler was around.

Through their quick conversations in the hallways and their long conversations at night, she learned so much about him.

He wasn't a witch, but he enjoyed nature and was fascinated by all the herbs that she kept in her dorm.

He told her more about his time in the orphanage and how he had to learn how to keep his vampiric identity hidden from others.

It had been a struggle for him, but it made him stronger when it came to controlling his bloodthirst.
