If he, too, noticed how good his body felt pressed up against mine. The air between us thickens, and his gaze dips to my mouth. Warmth unfurls in my belly. Tempting me. I wonder what would happen, if I leaned in and planted my lips— A dragon roars in the distance, jerking me back into reality. A world where we don’t kiss because Thorne is both my instructor and an enormous dick.
