“I meant what I said. I can’t take my eyes off you. I can’t take my mind off you.” I look away from his burning gaze, shaking my head as I mutter, “Kai, I—” “Paedyn.” I still. I shiver. He says my name like it’s sacred, like it’s an oath he’s swearing. He tilts his head to the side, eyes roaming over my face. “Tell me,” he murmurs, “what do you want me to call you?” My eyes slowly meet his, confused by his question. “What do you want to call me?” “I want to call you mine.”
