Are you mine?” he worries, his voice lower than a trembling whisper. “Please … say you’re mine.” I nod rapidly, my hands gliding along his face. “Always. Forever.” A harsh breath pushes past his lips, and he shakes. “Say it.” My eyes pop open, locking with his as I grip and hold him still, whispering, “I swear.”
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSZSSSSSSSSS
