Chapter 73

• Closing it with as much grace as he could manage, he turned to see Terah had followed him into the bedroom. She stood there, her body flushed with passion and her eyes were locked on him, devouring him. He should turn and walk away. Stop this before it went too far, but instead, he pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it on the floor beside him. It wasn’t the years he’d convinced himself that alone was okay. It wasn’t that he’d been denied physical contact for too long. It was her. Just being near her, changed everything. “Come here.”
• She came to him, without comment, stopping right in front of him. Her hands touched his chest and then moved slowly over it like she was memorizing its shape. Konner sucked in a breath when they strayed closer to his belt. He grasped her hand before she could continue her exploration. His control was already wavering.
• Leaning down, he pulled her closer and kissed the side of her neck. She gasped and tipped her head back further to give him access to do it again. Tasting her skin again, he closed his eyes as he brought her flavor into his body. Of course, it was everything he’d imagined it would be. Purity, seduction, sin, and perfection all at once.
