I watched him as he opened the book and scanned the words inside His chest glistened in the light and the shadows on his face highlighted his features--he was beautiful So pride welled in my heart I felt a little bit different, but not soat his feet Part of me worried that’s what I’d turn into, that’d I’d lose s for hi

Adaainst his body His lips found my nape and pressed a soft kiss toThere was no way I was this happy and comfortable with a ht with a date, let alone been happy to see the to run away I could stay in the bed all day wrapped in Adam’s arms

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen So me to sit up fast and scramble to cover myself with the blankets
