Tears began to form in Ashlyn's eyes and she wiped them just as Maddox walked into their room.
Maddox was attractive. His chest was well sculpted and his hair was the most amazing thing for Ashlyn to roam here hands through when they kissed but she was worried. She was only human and he was immortal , yes ashlyn had gifts but would she be able to calm him forever.
