Mariana;
I do not know what came over me. I slid my hand into his hair and checked his neck.
I cupped his face in my hands and examined him closely, making sure he was not injured anywhere.
When our eyes met, I realized what I was doing.
I awkwardly withdrew my hands and started stepping back.
Yorick suddenly caught my elbows and pulled me closer.
"It has been a long time since someone cared about me like that," he murmured.
His eyes dropped to my lips.
I was frozen in shock. My life was changing too quickly.
But when I looked at him, my heart melted.
This was not sympathy. It was desire.
We leaned forward and our lips collided.
The moment they touched, I felt myself melting into him.
Clouds rolled in and swallowed the sky.
It was the preying month of the mates. During this time, a full moon was not required to find one's mate.
The moment our kiss deepened, a fire ignited inside my body.
