Chapter 84

The flickering light from the candles highlighted the planes of his face and chest, giving him a ethereal look. His eyes, darkening in color, did not faze me as they used to. Anger did not reside in them for it was an overwhelming sense of passion that had caused the blackening to occur. His movements were slow yet precise as he moved forward and placed his hands on my cheeks. "Are you sure?" He asked, just a hint of green lingering behind. Bringing my hands up to hold his wrists, the bond flowed strongly through us, the air thickening. "Yes, I'm sure." At my approval, one hand traveled to the back of my neck whilst the other moved to hold my waist. He pulled my head towards him while titling it up, connecting our lips in a searing his. His hand tightened around my waist, the heat emitting from his hand went straight through my thin shirt. As the kiss grew quicker and more passionate, my hand wound in his hair, needing something to keep me grounded.
