Chapter 46

• MONIQUE
• We kissed for so long that I started to become lightheaded, my breaths shallow, and the world around us seemed to blur. The terror of my nightmare nearly forgotten. My eyes fluttered closed again, lost in the sensation of his lips against mine, the heat of his body pressing closer. I just needed to enjoy this.
• Every kiss deepened, his hands sliding down my back, pulling me closer. I could feel the pounding of his heart in sync with my own, both of us on the edge of something we desperately craved.
