Chapter 20

• Dominic
• She isn’t a child anymore. That truth hits hard and fast. The girl I remember is gone. In her place stands a full-grown woman. Confident. Sharp. Beautiful in a way that sneaks up on you and doesn’t let go.
• Those blue eyes lock onto mine. Bright. Angry. Alive. They burn with something I can’t name. My body reacts before I have time to stop it. Heat coils low and tight. Need pulses through me, unwanted and familiar.
