Tobias (A CURSED BOYS NOVEL Book 1) by Jessa Rozsas Read Free Book Online Page B

I was in awe at the beauty and didn’t feel worthy of something so perfect. In fact it made me feel sort of self-conscious. I took a deep breath before unlocking the stall door and stepping outside. I found Tobias lounging on a couch like he owned the place. Typical. As soon as he saw me though he jumped up pretty quick. The look on his face made me bite my bottom lip. I was nervous. He makes me nervous. When I’m around him it feels like someone’s sucking the air out of the room and it’s hard to breath.
      I turned in a circle slowly so Tobias could see the entire dress. He stayed silent which only made the butterflies worse. I couldn’t tell if his expression was a good or bad sign.
      “This dress is beautiful Tobias."
     “You're beautiful.”
     I flushed and hid my face. Direct compliments were never something I was used to, especially coming from a guy as hot as Tobias.
      “Don't hide.”
      I felt his hands against my arms. His touch sent chills over my body. I don’t know why, but every time he touches me he brings my entire body to life. He pulled my hands away from my face then cupped my cheek and tilted my head up.
     His eyes were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Soft green like the early sprouts of life in spring. I could get lost in them forever.
      "You are beautiful Willow. In fact you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met."
     Was he serious? His words made me want to melt. As much as I disagree with that statement, something about the way he said it made me believe that it was true.
      Before I could stop myself I leaned up on to the tip of my toes and captured his mouth with my own. As soon as our lips met it was like every nerve ending on my body exploded with feeling. I’ve heard people talk about feeling a spark from a kiss but this was a full on Fourth of July fireworks show.
      I felt his hand at the back of my head pulling me deeper into the kiss. His lips were the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have never wanted someone as bad as I did in that moment. Every part of my body begged to feel his touch.
      I nearly whimpered when he pulled away breaking the kiss. I wanted nothing more than to devour him and he seemed like he was in pain. His eyes were shut and his body was shaking as he released me.
      "Tobias? Are you ok?"
     I put my hand against his back gently when he didn’t reply. He spun around so fast I had to jump back. His eyes completely lost the green and seemed to be a deep red color.
     Every part of his body seemed to ooze danger. It was almost like he had become some kind of animal.
      “Um, Tobias?”
      I backed away from him slowly but it seemed that every step I took he followed until he had me pressed back against a mirror.
      “Tobias!” I cried out to him desperate to snap him out of whatever trance he seemed to be stuck in.
     I watched his attention turn from me to the mirror behind me. His eyes were focused on his own reflection. I wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but I knew that I’d be a complete idiot if I wasn’t afraid of him.
     “Willow…” His voice came out as a whisper.
      I looked back up at him and saw the beautiful green eyes staring back at me. His face was pale, almost like he had just seen a ghost. Actually, he looked like he was about to be sick.
      “Oh God. I’m so sorry.”
     The look on his face broke my heart. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and tell him that it’s ok and I was fine, but as soon as I reached out to touch him he backed away like a terrified abused animal.
      “What just happened?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking. I needed to know what the hell that was.
     “I told you I’m cursed. All of us are.” His eyes looked sad and empty at his confession.
     “So you’re cursed to have eyes that change color and scare people?”
     “Not exactly.”
      “Then what is it?” I know he promised to explain it to me tomorrow
