“Mate…” he mouths, his lips curving into a surprised smile.

“No,” I whimper, backing away slowly as my heart pounds in my chest.

He raises his hand and I flinch as he gently strokes my cheek, his thumb wiping the tears I didn’t know had fallen.

The sparks…Were they always this strong? I wonder as my body shivers beneath his fingertips.
