Chapter 39

• Omg! Killian has his face buried in the hollow of my neck, his mouth pressing against my throat. A wave of excitement coursed through my body that for a split moment, I thought I might pass out. When he whispered in a broken voice that he was afraid, a fierce sense of protectiveness I didn’t understand shot through me.
• Releasing one of my hands from the gripping hold it had on the edge of my skirt, I reached up to stroke his hair. He made a sound at the back of his throat, moving his body into me like he wanted us to merge into one. My heart did a series of flips in my chest, causing my breaths to deepen.
