Chapter 129

• When she had the urge to lick his injury, she jerked her head up and rocked back onto her heels further away from him. She bit her tongue, like it was going to lick him without her permission.

His hand dropped to the floor with a clank. “Sorry,” she whispered. Moving over she did the same to his other arm.
