Chapter 93

• I sank into the steaming bath, my skin prickling with the sudden heat as the water enveloped me like a liquid embrace. Darren and I had been wrapped in each other’s arms for hours. He drew the bath for us and carried me to the tub. I could tell there was something on his mind, but I was waiting for him to tell me. I could feel his emotions more now, and I knew at times he could feel mine as well. It was as if the connection between us was continuing to grow. I talked to him about us being twin flames and soulmates. He was intrigued by the idea, but in the end, he agreed with me. He didn’t need a name to call us. As long as we were together, that was all that mattered.
• The water rippled as Darren slipped into the tub behind me. His chest pressed against my back as his arms encircled me. His hands found their way to my swollen belly, slowly rubbing over the skin in circular motions.
• I felt the brush of his lips against my neck, feather-light at first, then more insistent as he traced a path from my shoulder to my ear.
