Chapter 72

• I was already standing in front of Gosto’s chamber before I realized where my feet had carried me. The sky outside was still dark, but sleep had long abandoned me. My heart thudded against my ribs, and I could barely keep up with my breath. I lifted my hand, about to knock, when the door suddenly swung open and Gosto pulled me into his arms without a word.
• Within seconds, I was enveloped in the warmth of his body.
• He wore a loose, worn shirt and simple sweatpants, but that didn’t diminish his raw magnetism. One of his hands cradled the back of my head while the other anchored at my lower back, holding me tight.
