Chapter 333 – Together

• “Ariel,” Jackson says again, his frown deepening as he strokes a comforting hand over my hair, his hand tracing through the long damp strands of it. “What’s wrong? What are you talking about?”
• Slowly, I drop my head and look down, stepping away from him slightly – just enough that I can get a good look at him, my fingertips still trailing along the skin of his waist. And when I do get a good look at Jackson’s full body it does…absolutely nothing to quell my newly burgeoning fears.
