"I need your help," I mutter and close the door to his house

He srin pisses s I need him

"Do you needmy shirt off? Or yours?"

I shiver and fight e "I could kill you Dorian"

He holds his hands up "It's why I've et into your pants I think it would be quite the ride"

I scowl

He chuckles and his accent gets thicker, "My pet, you really are in a jaht there on your cheek" He brushes a finger against my face

I flinch away frorabs s me into his embrace

He forces his lips on mine

My fingers tingle, but I push it back I need hirip is intense He drives his tongue into s quiver He lets o and I swear I see stars for the smallest moment

"That is how you should be kissed," his words are a dark whisper, threatening ree with him I can't hate him, not the way I used to I'm not even convinced I ever could

He laughs "That's all you have to say after a kiss like that?"

I maintain my composure

He rolls his eyes and nods, "Go on then, although for the record I did just do so I won't tell Aleks about Now if you want a favor, I want one too"
