I’ve never been a jealous person before but when I see you with Francesca it’s like I turn into an animal with nothing but basic instincts.” My cheeks burned hotter, and I didn’t dare look at Orion’s face, unsure why I was baring my soul to him right now. I rarely trusted anyone enough to spill my heart out to them, but I always wanted to with him. “I told you it was crazy.” He took my hand, winding his fingers between mine and pressing his mouth to the back of my knuckles. I chanced a look his way and my heart pounded as I found nothing but happiness in his eyes. Then he said six words that made my heart shine like the moon. “Good, because I feel it too.”

AH IM CHEESING SO HARD RN
