Chapter 29: Time Heals all Wounds
Victoria P.O.V
Victoria settles beside Antoni and pushes close into his side, latching onto his right arm under the silk black sheets. His elbow is pressed into her stomach, but the feeling is more anchoring than uncomfortable.
A warm solid presence that she can hold onto throughout the night.
She squeezes cold fingers tighter around his bicep, and his muscles jump underneath her firm touch. A coy smile tugs at her lips hovering over the top of his shoulder.
She squeezes again.
“Ready to play, are we Bell?” Antoni growls softly, dark desire coating his mischievous words. His arm slithers under the sheets and Victoria’s heart jumps when cold fingers tickle her knee. She giggles and squirms, but Antoni grips her knee firmly before pulling it across the sheets closer to his side.
His hand stays on her leg, thumb caressing the side of her knee casually. The feeling causes Victoria’s skin to tingle pleasantly as if every nerve from her calf to her thigh is alight with electricity.
