For a second, it was as if the world was completely silent and empty, leaving only Alina and this man who appeared to see right through her. All the voices fell away, becoming a senseless noise, and people were mere shadows, decorations in the background.
His eyes stared at her in a way that showed interest, curiosity, and familiarity. More than anything, they showed lust. He was devouring her with his gaze, and she was enjoying every second.
Alina had received attention from men before, and she knew how to react to their stares, but this was different. It was much more powerful and deep, like he was laying a claim on her simply by holding her gaze.
The sudden excitement Alina felt was beyond physical, it was like there was a concert of butterflies in her belly, and her soul was screaming with joy. As if that man – Big Blue – she thought, was a part of her she never knew had been missing.
Alina walked over to the other delegates from Earth. Big Blue wouldn’t take his eyes off her, and all the other members of the Skaoi delegation seemed like pale reflections of him. Alina had not felt like this in a long time, if ever. The exhilaration was almost comparable to being back on the stage, singing.
Though I would sing him a very different tune, the thought rushed through her mind unbidden, bringing a slight blush to her cheeks just as he walked over to introduce himself.
Get a grip, she told herself firmly. So, he’s hot. Anyone with eyes can see that. No reason to start acting like a schoolgirl going through her first crush.
The leader stopped for a moment and said something to one of the Skaoi soldiers in the delegation, his eyes never leaving her. The man nodded, and the other soldiers proceeded to lead the rest of the delegates and Peter Frank inside the building. Big Blue let them go a couple of steps ahead and then kept walking towards Alina.
“My name is Caden. Commander of the Hammer,” he said, extending his hand to Alina.
His voice was confident and deep, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine.
Alina felt the silliest, strongest urge to jump right into his arms, but she managed to control it with no small bit of discomfort at her apparent lack of self-control.
Caden, she thought, rolling his name through her mind.
