Kolton pressed her head firmly against his chest, and she experienced a peculiar warmth that had never touched her before.
Slowly, she raised her gaze to study the man above her. The barriers between them had finally crumbled.
Her attention drifted to his injured arm. The white bandage had darkened with fresh blood, evidence of the strain he had endured throughout their passionate encounter.
