Chapter 46

• Aurora POV
• I don’t know where my shame goes, or my anger. They burn away under his gaze, until there’s only want, and the ache that’s lived inside me since the bond first flared between us. Something reckless takes hold, and I cross the space between us without hesitation, catching his face between my hands and pulling his mouth down to mine.
• Our lips crash together, hungry and desperate. His hands find my skin, rough palms sliding over my bare back, drawing me in until there’s nothing between us but heat. He groans low, a sound that vibrates against my tongue, and then his hands roam lower, tracing my spine, cupping my hips, urging me closer until my chest presses to his shirt.
