Chapter 45 Stuck In The Middle

• "I can die for you, but I wish I could live for you."— His voice echoing in my mind in the thick fog of darkness draped over my eyes brought me back from my deep slumber. My heartbeats went erratic, all my thoughts tangled into a big mess, the need to watch him crawled up my skin, and the neglection of this unfulfilled desire of mine made a weird burning feeling spread throughout my body.
• My eyes flew open, and my body shot up to sit straight at the realization of his absence—He was nowhere to be seen but his scent still lingered on my skin, reminding me of all his gentle caresses and sensual touches from last night.
