Chapter 74

• Emma's POV
• The night dragged on, every second feeling longer than the last. I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to silence the chaos in my mind. But no matter how hard I tried, the thoughts of Leo refused to fade.
• His kiss, his touch, the way his lips had claimed mine—it was all I could think about. The memory of it was burned into me, like a flame that wouldn’t stop burning. His scent still lingered in my senses, warm and intoxicating, making me crave him even when I knew I shouldn’t.
