Chapter 101

• Maliyla's POV
• As Hector's lips peppered kisses down my neck, I gently placed my hand on his cheek. The touch of his hand sent shivers down my spine, and my heart began to race. His hands slowly made their way to my waist, and I turned in his arms as I pulled him closer and kissed him ever so passionately. A soft moan escaped from me as Hector's hand slipped onto my ass and lifted me. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as he spun around and headed toward the room. We stumbled through the door with Hector's arms around me tightly. Taking me up against the wall, he passionately kissed me. I felt my heart rate increase as I melted into his embrace. I could feel his heart pounding, his breath quickening. I whimpered when his lips left mine. Still holding me against the wall, he looked deep into my eyes.
• "I love you, Maliyla Giuliano. I have loved you since the day I found you lying in the forest. It was love then, and it is love now," Hector whispered, his voice deep and husky.
