First Kiss

Zane's POV

My heart somersaulted in my chest as I finally pressed my lips to hers, effectively silencing her words. How could I admit that I had been itching to do it for days? The thought of another man, a man more powerful than I, looking after her had been driving me to the brink of jealousy.

Rex stirred within me as I grabbed her face, half-expecting her to push me away, but to my surprise, she responded by pulling me closer to herself. Her hands wrapped around my waist, drawing me nearer in an unspoken invitation.

This ignited a fierce desire within me, and I couldn't resist any longer. I slipped my tongue into her mouth, savoring the tantalizing combination of her minty and slightly sugar lips. Her mouth was warm and inviting, her lips soft against mine.
