“Because!” I throw my blades in the opposite direction until they snick perfectly into the walls. I stalk up to her, closing the distance between us again, not lowering my voice an inch. “The minute I heard your voice, the minute I sensed your emotions, you felt like mine.” The second the truth leaves my lips, something breaks open inside me, and I’m no longer pulling myself away from her; I’m jerking her to me in a painful kiss that sears my soul.
