Chapter 1
Kara entró de nuevo en la traicionera casa. Hoy era su vigésimo cumpleaños.
Dio pasos silenciosos y cautelosos, como si intentara no tropezar con cables eléctricos.
Pasó por el pasillo y se apresuró a cruzar para llegar a la habitación de Damon.
Solo unos pasos más y alcanzaría la puerta. Pero antes de que sus dedos pudieran siquiera tocar el pomo, una mano vino desde atrás para cubrirle la boca y otra se posó sobre su cintura para arrastrarla hacia atrás.
—No hagas ningún sonido—. La voz autoritaria hizo que detuviera todos sus esfuerzos. No necesitaba escuchar otra palabra para adivinar quién era.
La mano en su cintura la giró sin soltarla. Caminó con ambos hacia adelante hasta que estuvieron dentro de su habitación. Solo entonces retiró la mano de su boca.
Kara se dio la vuelta para enfrentar a la única persona que anhelaba ver, pero también a la que quería huir. Él despertaba en ella sentimientos cuya profundidad desconocía.
James cerró la puerta de su habitación para enfrentar a la mujer que lo había hecho arder por dentro desde el día en que la vio por primera vez.
Incluso cuando estaba a punto de celebrar su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños, le resultaba imposible superar su obsesión con ella.
Cada vez que la veía, solo había una cosa que se repetía en su cabeza una y otra vez: esconderla.
—¿Por qué estás aquí?— preguntó James. Dio pasos largos, lentos y depredadores hacia ella, y ella retrocedió con cada uno de ellos. Ni siquiera era consciente de ello, James lo sabía. Tenía años de conocimiento de cada pequeño movimiento de ella.
Después de hacer la pregunta, James sonrió para sí mismo. Por supuesto que sabía por qué estaba allí. Es su cumpleaños hoy. El único día en que arrastra a Damon, su hermano menor, a la iglesia abandonada en medio del pequeño bosque justo fuera de su pueblo para deambular. Su obsesión con la iglesia abandonada lo había divertido durante años.
—Kara— murmuró en un tono bajo cuando ella no le dio una respuesta—, ¿por qué estás aquí?
La forma en que su mirada inocente lo miraba, la forma en que intentaba ocultar el rubor en sus mejillas era completamente adorable y, al mismo tiempo, bastante excitante para él. Ella ni siquiera se daba cuenta de lo que le hacía con solo una mirada.
—Damon— murmuró mientras sus ojos marrón oscuro volaban hacia la puerta junto a la que él estaba parado para encerrarla—. Damon y yo teníamos... algunos planes.
Kara apenas se contuvo de tragar el nerviosismo que la había invadido. No sabía por qué, pero él siempre la asustaba. Una mirada enojada de James era suficiente para hacerla correr colina abajo gritando.
Probablemente era porque nunca prestaba atención a nadie excepto a ella. Ella había comenzado a notarlo hace un par de años. Era indiferente a cualquier cosa que hicieran los demás, ya fueran sus amigos o su hermano. Podrían incendiar la casa y a él no le importaría. Pero cuando se trataba de ella, era como un pilar en el camino de una hoja.
Cuando James decidió ir a la universidad mientras manejaba simultáneamente el negocio de maquinaria que su familia coadministraba con la de ella desde generaciones, convirtiéndolo en una de las diez principales empresas de la Ciudad de Nueva York, ella pensó que tendría menos tiempo para hacerla miserable. Pero si era posible, su naturaleza controladora solo aumentó.
A veces la volvía loca. Pero la mayoría de las veces, sus ojos solo lo anhelaban.
Su infancia estaba llena de felicidad y de él. Cada recuerdo que podía recordar estaba lleno de él.
James estaba de pie junto a la puerta mirando a la muñeca que su papá había traído a su casa por primera vez. Su papá dijo que era tan adorable como una muñeca. En realidad, parecía una.
Su papá había dicho que la nueva muñeca había venido a quedarse en la casa de al lado con su familia. Y luego su papá había dejado la habitación, pidiéndole a él y a Damon que jugaran con ella porque tenía trabajo que hacer.
Mientras la miraba, la vio reírse de algo que Damon había dicho. Damon y la muñeca tenían la misma edad. Cinco años.
Ella se balanceaba de un lado a otro en la punta de sus pies, vistiendo su vestido amarillo. La muñeca era la más bonita que había visto jamás.
Sus ojos marrones lo miraron con curiosidad. Tan pronto como su mirada chocó con la de él, algo cayó en su estómago. Un nerviosismo repentino se apoderó de él. Y el nerviosismo y él nunca eran una buena combinación. Lo hacía enojar.
Levantó las cejas con arrogancia.
—¿Cuál es tu nombre?— preguntó Damon mientras miraba sus coletas balanceándose.
—Kara— respondió dulcemente y dio un paso hacia James. Los ojos verdes de James la cautivaban. Nunca había visto ojos como esos.
Se paró frente a él. Por un minuto no hubo nada más que silencio entre ellos mientras se miraban a los ojos.
—¿Son reales?— susurró Kara misteriosamente.
—¿Qué?— preguntó James confundido.
—Tus ojos— respondió Kara mientras se ponía de puntillas para igualar su altura. Quería ver esos ojos únicos.
Kara puso su dedo índice suavemente en la mejilla de James y murmuró— Parecen guijarros. Los que tenemos en nuestro gran frasco de guijarros. Mi papá trae uno cada vez que se va de viaje por trabajo. No tengo un guijarro del color de tus ojos.
James estaba inmóvil en su lugar. Una timidez repentina se había apoderado de él. No sabía si quería huir o seguir hablando con la muñeca.
Kara inclinó la cabeza hacia un lado con asombro mientras su rostro se fruncía un poco en confusión,
—¿Dolería si los pinchara con mi dedo?— preguntó con total seriedad.
