Chapter 53

• King Dane pulled away from me, his breath still heavy, his body glistening with sweat. My skin ached, my body sore from the roughness of our entanglement. But it wasn’t just the intensity of what we had just done that left me shaking—it was the look in his eyes. Dark, dangerous, and utterly unwavering.
• It was amazing. I was surprised that he had made the first move this time after what seemed like an eternity. He was proud of me for standing up to Kiara and shoving the chocolate cake in her face. I felt relieved when I did that and would do it again. But Kiara had retaliated as I had expected. I was saved by King Dane again.
