Logan
There are three things I notice before I make the most impulsive decision of my night.
The first is Jade’s pulse, visible in the hollow of her throat. It’s rapid and determined, the way it always gets when she’s made up her mind and the rest of the world can either catch up or get out of the way.
The second is the electricity humming beneath her skin like a current waiting for a circuit to close. I can feel it from three feet away, and I could feel it from across the boat if I let myself.
The third is the way she’s looking at me, like I’m the answer to a question she hasn’t fully formed yet, like there’s still good left in me.
Don’t touch her. Walk away. Go below deck, sit in the dark, and count the things you’ve done wrong today, because there are enough of them to last until sunrise.
I’m on her before I can do anything of the sort, and when her mouth opens under mine, she tastes warm and alive in a way that makes me ache. My hands slide under her shirt, seeking skin, needing it more than she’ll ever know.
The moment my palms make contact, the electricity travels up my forearms and sinks into my chest, where it reaches the blood that sits thick in my veins—the blood that hasn’t truly moved since Ambrogio’s venom turned it to sludge five months ago.
For a fraction of a second, circulation surges back to life as a single hot pulse of blood pushes through capillaries that have been stagnant since the summer, flooding warmth into organs that have been running on nothing but magic and muscle memory.
My entire body goes rigid, like it does every time I touch her and her magic makes contact with whatever I’ve become.

I've written the entirety of the electricity-sex-above-deck chapter from Logan's point of view.
Now that you know what he is, you can experience what it felt like from his side—the dead blood shocking back to life, the three time jumps Jade never knew about, and what it costs a Revenant to feel alive.
You’ll also see the beautiful art I had commissioned of Logan and Jade on deck.
