LOGINLorenzo’s POVI devoured her... There’s no other word for it.The second her lips touched mine, I lost every bit of self-control I had been pretending to have since the day I saw her in the bathroom wearing that sinful, microscopic black nightwear that ruined my entire existence.I grabbed her face, kissed her like my survival depended on her breath, and lifted her clean off the floor... Her legs wrapped around me instantly... God, like she had been waiting too. Longing for this moment.I shoved her back against the nearest wall, then another, and then another, tasting her, swallowing her sighs, running my hands down this new body that should have been illegal.“Fuck,” I growled against her mouth, “you are so sexy.”She murmured, soft and breathless, “Thanks… but let me shower first. I feel filthy.”“I can’t wait,” I muttered, kissing down her neck, already tugging at her clothes like they offended me. Then I stopped tugging and just ripped the damn thing open. Buttons flew. Fabric to
Echo’s POVStanding in the living room with the boys felt… wrong and right at the same time.Wrong because I couldn’t see Adrian... I knew there was a possibility that only one of us would get a body first but the fact that we might end up not seeing the other person still a ghost b very crossed my mind but I am glad that at least Lorenzo could still see and hear him.But it felt right because... God... my feet were on the floor. Solid. Warm. Mine.Well… not mine. But still… mine.I flexed my toes just to feel the ground again... to make sure it wasn’t a dream. I touched the couch. The wall. The throw pillow. Everything felt like a miracle... texture, warmth, weight. Life. But the miracle didn’t sit well in my chest.Because Adrian wasn’t beside me.He was here, technically. Somewhere. Hovering. Talking. Joking. Being his ridiculous goofy self but I couldn’t see him. And that hurt more than I thought it would.“How can we celebrate,” I said, voice cracking, “when Adrian isn’t human ye
Adrian’s POVThe moment the three of us drifted outside the hospital, I swear my soul was doing two completely different things at once... celebrating and crying.I was excited because this was supposed to be it. The day I finally stopped being a floating breeze with opinions.Disappointed because… well… I walked into that hospital ready to possess something. Anything. A toe. A kneecap. A body missing half a soul. I wasn’t picky.And guess what? Nothing... Not a single body that fit. Everything either felt wrong or already taken.So yeah, the disappointment punched me right in the ghostly chest but when the agreed time came and Lorenzo and Echo weren’t outside where they were supposed to meet me, something inside me twisted. Something was wrong. Something was off.So I went back in and checked everywhere... Room to room. Door to door.Until... I found there.There she was. Echo... Alive. Breathing.Blurry-eyed and looking like a beautiful confused newborn deer and Lorenzo beside her,
Echo’s POVThe moment the words left my mouth ... “I am… I am feeling something.” ... Lorenzo froze like he had just been unplugged from reality.For a second, I couldn’t even breathe because this… this was what I had been imagining since the day Adrian first told me what “the pull” should feel like.Except imagining it and feeling it were two very different things.My entire body ... or whatever counts as a ghost body ... felt like it had been caught in a soft, invisible current... A gentle drag at first, then sharper. Deeper and hotter.Like something was hooking into my soul and tugging me forward with a greedy insistence, a magnetic ache that pulled from inside my chest and settled low in my stomach like a knot tightening and tightening...My vision pulsed... My breath trembled and the hallway ahead glowed faintly, like someone turned up the contrast on only that part of the world.Lorenzo blinked rapidly and whispered, “What?”His voice sounded far away... Underwater. Or maybe I
Lorenzo’s POVWe stormed into the hospital parking lot like we were late to our own resurrection. I was already panting ... partly from running, mostly from stress ... when I suddenly heard someone yell my name.“LORENZO!”I skidded to a stop... Jayden’s head was sticking out of the window of his car like a golden retriever seeing his owner...I groaned. “How long have they been here?”Jayden shrugged. “Like fifteen minutes.”Fifteen minutes... Fifteen whole minutes.I felt my soul physically leave my body. We needed freshly dead, not ‘marinated in time’ dead.I forced calm into my voice. “Okay. Just... wait here. We need to hurry.”I turned, about to bolt for the entrance, when Jayden called, “Wait, where are they?”I glanced at Echo hovering beside me, all bright-eyed and vibrating with hope, and Adrian smirking like an idiot because Jayden ... obviously ... couldn’t see him.“Hopefully you will be able to see them when we get back.”Jayden frowned. “Huh?”I didn’t wait to explain b
Lorenzo’s POVWe left the house with zero direction and even less hope. Just three ghosts... okay, two ghosts and one very handsome, very exhausted human... wandering aimlessly around the estate like lost tourists.Echo floated slightly ahead of us, humming under her breath, still glowing from this morning’s chaos. Adrian trailed beside her, doing his usual dramatic spins because he apparently “hovered better when he was expressing himself.” Whatever that meant.And me? I was just praying the universe would cut us a break.Then my phone started ringing.I groaned, pulled it out, saw the caller ID, and muttered, “Not now,” then I shoved it right back into my pocket like it offended me.Echo tilted her pretty little head. “Who’s calling?”“Jayden.”Her eyes brightened. “Your friend from the club?”“Yep. That one.”“So… why aren’t you picking up? It might be important.”“Knowing him?” I snorted. “I doubt it.”The phone rang again... And again. And again.Echo blinked slowly. “It’s been f
ECHO'S POV "Echo, Echo... Where are you?" Enzo called and I am usually happy to see and hear from him but not today, I feel so sad and alone in this world.How, how exactly did I end up like this? What happened to me and why am I even here when I obviously can't interact or do anything tangible?
LORENZO'S POV I walked towards where she's dancing with a friend I guess, I have no idea what I will say to her or if she will like to talk to me considering the fact that I acted crazy the last time we spoke. I will just wing it and follow her lead."Hey, Echo right?" I said as I intentionally bu
LORENZO'S POV Her eyes went wide in shock when she understood my suggestion, I mean I am just joking but she's obviously thinking that I am serious. "You are kidding right?" She asked but I shook my head. Honestly, I am dying to laugh but her shocked face is really cute and I just want to see it a
ECHO'S POV I can't believe it, the whole world is crashing down on me and I don't know why, I am dead, I am a ghost and now my best friend has stolen my identity but why? Why is she doing this to me? I thought we were best friends.I really have to prove to Enzo that I am the real Echo because he
