The dusting of freckles across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose contrasted sharply with her fair skin. The absurd urge to kiss every single one caught him in a chokehold, and he had to lock his neck in place to keep from bending low and brushing his lips across them. What the fuck is wrong with me?
