I’m still clutching him as I pull back to look up into his face.
“Brynn—”
“Here,” I whisper fiercely. “I want to stay here.”
He nods, his jaw tight and his eyes piercing into mine until I’m lost in them.
So lost, in fact, that with those eyes, the heat of him, and the way his big, strong arms are cradling me so tight and protectively, I lose myself entirely. It’s like the world falls away around us until it’s just him and I. And when I lean close, and when he growls and holds me tighter, I know I’m about to fall.
“Brynn—”
I close the gap between us, and when my lips sear hotly to his, I just explode as the kiss brings us crashing together.
Oh shit.
