She

I traced the outline of her face with my fingertips, memorizing every curve and contour. The soft arch of her eyebrows, the delicate slope of her nose, the fullness of her lips.

Her lips.

Morning sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, illuminating her face. Her lips had regained their color after a night’s rest, no longer the pale, bloodless things they’d been when I’d found her in the hospital.

My thumb unconsciously traced their outline, the gentle rise and fall of her breath against my palm a tantalizing sensation. I swallowed hard, my control slipping.

I tilted her chin up slightly, my lips descending in a fervent kiss. Initially, I tried to be gentle, not

She stopped struggling and pressed the call button for assistance. The revulsion in her eyes

was palpable.

The realization made my expression harden. I gave her one last look before getting out of bed, grabbing my Black Alpha Overcoat, and storming out of the room without a backward glance.
