María José nodded, her gaze intense and almost daring me. "Yes. Do it again."
I felt the tension spike, and with a deep exhale, my fingers hovered over her mark.
I couldn't help myself. Every time my fingers hovered over her mark, the world seemed to shrink down to just the two of us.
The tender pulse of her heartbeat was louder than anything else. It was a constant, rhythmic reminder that something was happening between us… something I couldn't explain, but damn it, I needed to understand.
I shifted closer, sniffing in her honeysuckle scent while trying to discreetly get it done.
I hadn't planned on doing this again. Hell, I wasn't even sure I could control myself if I did. But then her gaze met mine, and I lost my mind yet again.
It was as if she was daring me. Her lips curled a little like she knew exactly what she was doing. I could see it in her eyes, that same fire that had flickered before; her curiosity, her hunger.
