Chapter 186: One thought

They both turned very still at the sudden contact of her cool lips on his warm neck. 

Wide-eyed, Elle heard the loud and crazy fast heartbeats that belonged to her. Her mind screamed at her to pull away, asking what she was even doing. 

But she could not make herself listen to her own mind but instead did something far graver than her first move. She had gone ahead and bitten him. 

His muscles turned utterly taut, as though they had transformed into something really solid and hard. He then made a noise that sounded like a half curse and half groan. 

A gasp was torn from her lips and the next thing she knew, he was hovering above her, pinning her down. His eyes were so animal-bright as he looked down at her. His breathing was uneven as he held himself still over her. And yet, Elle's first reaction was… oh lord… she had licked her lips in anticipation.
