JASMINE
It was instant. The way he closed the small distance between us and captured my trembling lips in his was too quick to comprehend. I tried to push away, but he deepened the kiss, both his hands cupping my face to hold me in place. He kissed me like he was trying to pass so many messages… Messages mere words couldn't pass.
Despite myself, I kissed him back. My body seemed to have a mind of its own. His mere presence had an overwhelming pull on me, one that I couldn't resist, and it all began the day I unintentionally activated the Blood Claim.
"No matter what, Mine," he pulled away briefly, whispering against my mouth, "You are the one I want. Not June." I parted my lips to protest, but I was met with his hot tongue, invading every corner of my mouth again. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed this… Missed him. I kissed him back. Everything else could wait for a moment while I savored this moment. I was drowning in him.
