“How is Harlan doing? I’m here.” Just then, a physician, bearing a medical kit, hurried over, breathless and frantic, inquiring about Harlan’s condition.

I found myself at a loss for words, which only exacerbated the doctor’s anxiety. Seeing Harlan’s protective armor, his anxious countenance froze abruptly.
He shifted his gaze towards me and, with a solemn expression, remarked, “Madam, Harlan has a bulletproof vest. At most, he’d bear a few bruises from the bullet. He’s good. Why the hullabaloo?”
A flush of embarrassment crept across my face as I shot Harlan a glare.

This was all on him!
Harlan flashed a grin and offered his apologies. “Doctor, I must beg your pardon. Zoe was a bundle of nerves just now. You should attend to the other wounded promptly. Don’t let our rescue efforts lag. I’m hunky-dory.”
The doctor shook his head and left with his medical kit.

Once the doctor had left, I was so incensed that I gave Harlan a hearty kick and spewed my anger. “You rascal, playing possum just to toy with my emotions? How could you?”
But that wasn’t enough. The more I mulled it over, the hotter my fury grew. In a sudden rush, I pounced on Harlan, straddling him. I balled my fist and was poised to let him have it.
Harlan snatched my wrist with swiftness.
He locked eyes with me, his demeanor even, and inquired calmly, “Zoe, are you set on killing me?”
“Should be done by now!” I answered without a moment’s hesitation, resolute in my intent.
“Very well.” Harlan’s expression remained inscrutable. He released my arm, his eyes never wavering from mine. A faint smile graced his lips as he added, “Dying at your hands would be a worthy exit!”
My heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable sweetness flooded my soul.
Gazing into Harlan’s eyes, I found myself cupping his face, my eyes closing as I pressed my lips to his.
The sensation was soft and electrifying, a warm touch that rekindled my yearning.

In a daze, my mind drifted back to a night long past. It was a night of revelry and intoxication, and we were both far from sober.
Driven by the most primal urges, we made out passionately.
It was on that night that our relationship had begun its subtle transformation.
“Zoe?” Harlan was taken aback by my ki*s, his body trembling. Yet, he made no move to push me away. Instead, he rolled over, pinning me beneath him.
And then, I was swallowed by his shadow.
Harlan’s hand found the back of my head, and his agile tongue slipped into my mouth, entwining with mine. He held me firmly with his powerful arms, deepening the ki*s.
We ki*sed with an intensity that made it seem as if the world around us had faded away. I only broke free when I was gasping for breath.
As we lay there on the ground, panting and gazing at the sky, Harlan finally spoke, his tone measured.
