“I’m not hurt, Jace. It was just a little nerve-racking.” His hand came to my cheek, and I nearly lost my breath as I looked up into his light blue gaze. He just studied me, and I couldn’t move. His face dipped closer and the desire I felt was unexplainable. A force so strong I couldn’t stop it if I wanted to. And I did not want to stop this. His mouth just a breath from mine. Everything stopped all at once. My lips parted with invitation and my hand came over his on my face. Needing to feel that warmth.
