Feral (Darkly Ever After, #5)

by Mila Crawford

Without hesitation, I lowered my head and brushed my lips with hers. The kiss was slow at first, tiny sparks igniting, but then my hands were in her hair, and our tongues were dancing. Fuck. I felt like I’d won the lottery. If I died and her lips were the last thing I tasted, I’d consider it a life well lived. When we pulled back, I was so mesmerized I couldn’t stop staring at her. Her fingers moved to her lips. “That was my first kiss.” “I know you need more than I’ll ever be able to give you. But I’m glad you gave me something as memorable as your first kiss.” I swear the pain my father had inflicted vanished as Azadeh smiled at me. “You’re so beautiful. Sometimes, it hurts to look at you.” Azadeh’s smile grew. “That’s an interesting compliment. And you’re more than enough for anyone. You’re Ezekiel Summers, the boy who showed me kindness can be found in the most unlikely places.” “You blind me, Az. In your presence, I’m both David and Goliath. I can’t explain it. I’ve never met anyone like you, and I’m positive I never will again. You bewitch me in so many ways.” “We better get you to bed before my mother checks on us.” Azadeh brushed past me and went to the bed, turning it down.
