There’s one thing like awe shining in his eyes all the identical.

He steps nearer to me and touches my jaw, his gaze mounted on mine. “Ivy… I need to kiss you once more.”

Julita giggles. All proper, I can inform I’d higher take my depart.

As her presence dwindles at the back of my head, I moist my lips. The heat that movement provokes spreads by means of the remainder of me.

However one in every of us needs to be not less than a bit of smart about this case, don’t we?

“You realize,” I say, doing my finest to maintain my tone even, “there are a whole lot of issues that often include kissing. No less than, if you aren’t simply scratching an itch and figuring you’ll by no means see one another once more.”

Rheave eases barely nearer. “Like what?”

It’s tougher to assume the extra his lovely face fills my imaginative and prescient. “Effectively, you’ve seen how I’m with the opposite males. Now we have a relationship. We assist one another. We’re dedicated to tackling issues collectively and spending time collectively and, um…”

The daimon-man’s expression has develop into more and more puzzled. “Don’t you and I do these issues too?”

“It’s not precisely the identical. We’ve by no means talked about or determined the place that is going.”

“That’s simple.” He traces his fingers alongside my jaw to my chin after which again to the criminal. “I need to be right here with you and see how it may be. I need to expertise all the things we may have. I’ve obtained nowhere else I must be—I’m comfortable to stick with you wherever you go.”

He affords himself up so simply, my coronary heart squeezes in response. “I shouldn’t be your complete world. There are different stuff you like.”

Rheave makes a dismissive sound. “These are all issues I can take pleasure in whereas I’m with you. I’ve had the entire world, Little Vine. I had it for extra years than I understand how to rely. Nothing I discovered in it ever made me as comfortable as you do. That’s why I would like a lot to have the ability to make you cheerful too.”

A rush of emotion chokes me up earlier than I can converse. Recollections of all of the moments turned brighter by his presence flicker by means of my thoughts. “You do make me comfortable.”

The daimon-man smiles brilliantly and should determine that’s reply sufficient to his earlier suggestion. He dips his head and captures my mouth.

The kiss is simply as candy as the primary one, sending a giddy shiver straight by means of the core of me. Heat floods me from head to toe, flaring right into a extra thrilling warmth when Rheave nudges me proper in opposition to the gully wall.

I give in to the impulse to tease my fingers into his smooth curls, and a tough sound works from his throat. He kisses me tougher. One hand stays cupped in opposition to my jaw whereas the opposite trails up and down my facet till I gasp.

“We have to keep quiet,” I mumble in opposition to his lips.

“Hmm. Then I ought to preserve doing this.”

He claims my mouth once more, his confidence rising. His hand travels throughout my torso, lingering on my breast when the skim of his palm earns him a whimper I attempt to swallow.

His hips rock in opposition to mine. There’s no lacking the bulge between his legs that grazes my intercourse, setting off sharper pulses of want.

A thread of concern creeps by means of my haze of arousal. Am I actually doing this? Making out with a person who’s not even precisely a person—and wherever else this can go if I let it?

Do I actually know what I’m moving into?

My physique tenses, and Rheave notices instantly. He attracts again simply far sufficient to satisfy my gaze, his darkish curls falling throughout his brow. “Is that this all proper?”

He seems so unsettled by the thought that it won’t be that my abdomen twists. I can out of the blue see the way it would possibly go if I push him away once more, put up my partitions out of that concern.

I’ve already run off on him as soon as. If it occurs once more, he’ll by no means belief that I actually do need him sufficient.

I’ll destroy no matter odd relationship we’ve began to construct right here.

And the considered dropping this—him, all the things we could possibly be—frightens me greater than the uncertainty of the place we’ll find yourself.

I would like him. I do. This unusual man who makes the strangeness in me appear a bit of extra okay.

I path my hand right down to his cheek, holding his unearthly gaze that shines with longing and devotion. “It’s fantastic.”
