and I were wrapped in a marvelous dream of dancing and swimming and

kissing, and I never wanted to wake.

Suddenly, the firm warmth of his body was gone, replaced by rough

ground and a seeping cold. I shivered as a chill brushed over my skin. Why

was I so cold?

I opened my eyes and blinked, but there was only darkness. I reached out

for Jaxson, but I was alone. Fear strangled my heart, and I bolted upright.

“Jaxson!” I searched the pitch-black void—a dark so deep that it made

/> my skin tingle. The stars and moon and lights of the maenad’s revel were

gone, and the only sound was the faint echo of my voice.

Where the hell was I?

Calm down, Savy, and think.

The last thing I remembered was holding Jaxson, my cheek pressed to his

warm chest. And then I’d closed my eyes…

Oh, no.

The maenad’s warning echoed through my mind: don’t fall asleep.

Fuck. I’d drifted off, and now I was God-knows-where.

My ass cheeks ached from the rocks that were jabbing into my backside,

and the ground was damp and muddy. A faint but omnipresent sound of

dripping water was maddening with my heightened hearing.

Don’t panic.

I just needed to figure out where I was and then find a way out. That was

possible, right?

I climbed to my feet, cursing when I realized that all I was wearing was

my lacy underwear. Not good.

My eyes started to adjust to the darkness. A faint purple glow began to

form shadows, and I could discern the muddy, root-ridden walls that rose

around me.

I fought the fear that surged in my heart. I was entombed in the fucking

earth, barefoot and practically naked.
