EVE POV:
One moment we were standing apart.The next, he had my waist in his hands, tugging me to him like he'd been waiting centuries.
His lips were on mine.
Claiming. Devouring. Ruining me.
The world disappeared.The trees, the dragons, the sunrise—gone. All that existed was him.
And holy ancestors, it was devastating.
Not gentle.Not sweet.Not careful.
It was hungry.Possessive.Claiming.Like he'd been starving for this—for me—for centuries.
His hands held me firm, fingers digging in like he was terrified I'd vanish.My hands found his shirt, clutching it, pulling him closer because suddenly I needed him like air.
His mouth moved against mine with such intensity my knees nearly gave out.And when he deepened the kiss—
I swear I ascended.Left my mortal body.Said goodbye to the dragons.Floated into the sky.
There were sparks in my veins.Fire in my chest.My heart slammed so hard I wondered if the dragons could hear it.
