He grabs my hand, resting it on the center of his chest. “Feel this? That’s my heart beating for you. It’s yours.” I curl my fingers slightly, scratching his warm skin, the steady thud of his heartbeat pounding against my palm. “I’ll cherish it forever.” “You better. It wants no one else.” He’s smiling, his head descending, those magical lips landing on mine and I lose myself in his kiss. Lose myself in his arms. There is nothing better in life than being loved by this man. Nothing.
