Chapter 18 Mia

• What’s happening to me? My skin burns wherever his hands have touched, and an unfamiliar heat coils deep within me. I’ve never felt anything like this—this pull, this overwhelming urge to lean into him, despite everything I know. This can’t be real. It’s wrong.
• Nathan's grip on me tightens, his body pressing closer, so close I can feel the heat radiating from him. His breath fans over my face, sending an uninvited shiver down my spine. I grit my teeth, fighting to keep control over my own body, but my heart betrays me, hammering against my chest as if it has a mind of its own.
• He’s not my mate. He can’t be. Yet every inch of me responds to him, the electricity between us crackling like a live wire. His fingers trail down my arm, and a gasp escapes my lips before I can stop it. His touch leaves a path of fire that refuses to fade.
