Chapter 152

I lose myself in the repeated kisses, questioning everything that I know to be true for this one feeling that overcomes all obligation and supposed meaning. 

My legs become like a rag doll's and I am completely dependent on Liam's support. In response he lifts my legs so that I am cradled in his arms.

"I just wanna tell you," he slyly whispers in my ear, brushing his lips down the side of my face into the curvature of my neck. 

I let out a small whimper as he kisses my collarbone, his hand brushing my leg. 

"I'm so glad you're safe, Accalia. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you." 

His face moves upwards, dropping a light kiss on my forehead. I stare into his eyes, my heart melting as I see myself reflected within them.
