pressing into the back of hers. He brought it to his lips

Lian waited for her to say
something. She licked her lips a few times before meeting
his gaze. He was amazed to see no lingering fear in her
features. There was some uncertainty and definitely some

head. “But you never met her?”
This time he couldn’t stop
the smile, not that he would have.
She glared down her pert
little nose at him before she socked him in the shoulder.
“What?” he asked.
“What is so amusing?”
“That you’re still jealous
over a woman I’ve told you numerous times I’ve never met.”
She huffed. “I’m not
jealous.” |
