Chapter 32

• The kiss grew more intense, as if they were trying to devour each other’s very souls. Aria felt Zander’s hand at the base of her spine, the warmth of his skin sending shivers through her body. She gasped as his fingertips grazed the bare skin above her waist, sending bolts of pleasure straight to her core.
• With a sense of urgency that seemed to come from a place beyond them, Zander’s hand began to make its way up her back, each button of her shirt giving way to his deft touch. One by one, they popped open, revealing the smooth expanse of skin beneath. The fabric parted, and a cool breeze brushed against her exposed flesh, sending goosebumps racing across her body.
• Aria’s heart pounded in her chest, the rhythm matching the tempo of his touch. As Zander’s hand reached the top of her shirt, she felt a sudden jolt of desire, and her breath hitched. She leaned back slightly, allowing him to fully expose her to his hungry gaze. The air in the room seemed to crackle with tension as their eyes met, each knowing what the other wanted.
