This week, my swoon is The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows!
I slipped one hand to the back of his neck, my fingers sliding into strands of soft hair, and pulled him close.
Our lips touched with soft, hesitating movements, and for a moment, I thought he might pull back again. But [redacted] sighed my name as he kissed a trail of sparks down my cheek and throat, and I lost myself in memorizing the curves and contours of his face. His cheekbones, sharp and prominent. His nose, aristocratically strong. His jaw, angular and firm. When we kissed again, a low moan vibrated in his throat.
His arms wound around my waist, pulling my hips closer to his. His hands splayed out on the small of my back; the very tips of his fingers dug against my clothes.
I touched his throat, his chin. Pressing upward, I explored the ridges of his brow and temples. The soft fan of his eyelashes breezed over my palm. He was forbidden to look at, but I mapped his features with my hands.
And when he kissed me again, all warm invitation, my thoughts swirled away, like drops of ink in water. I wanted more and more.
