Chapter 71

• That night, we shared his room for the first time. I slept well since I’d all but slept on the hard ground the previous night and when I woke up the next morning, I saw grey eyes peering into mine. My skin flushed immediately.
• “Good morning.” His tone was hoarse and made my skin tingle. His fingers stroked my hair in an overtly tender manner. My heart fluttered and then stuttered when his face drew nearer, filling my vision. Reflexively, I reached out and held his face with both my hands and I felt his lips move underneath my thumb.
• “Are you rejecting my good morning kiss?” He asked, his tone even deeper now.
