it’s already broken. Do you understand now?”
I nodded. Lila exhaled in relief.
I stepped closer, our bodies pressing against each other.
Mine – fully clothed. Lila’s – in a state of half dressed. Her
skin was warm underneath my touch. She peeked at me
through her thick lashes with a look in her eyes that should
have told me something… but I couldn’t understand what
she was trying to convey.
She breathed.
I breathed.
The world came to a stop, and the colors faded away,
leaving us in a state of black and white.
Lila shivered, a silent tremor running through her body.
It wasn’t from the cold because her room was hot, and I
was sweating. Her gaze fell to my lips before they wavered,
and she looked back at my eyes again.
My head descended toward hers, and my lips brushed
against her forehead, a simple kiss. Lila sucked in a harsh
breath, and her eyes closed.
I’d never given a girl a forehead kiss before. That shit
was cheesy, but it came natural with her. It wasn’t like I
could kiss her… lips. Lips that looked so soft, so kissable.
She’d sock me in the face if I ever tried.
So, we settled with a forehead kiss. That was safe and
friend-like.
“Lila?”
“Hmm?”
“You’re a beautiful dragon,” I said.
Her shoulders shook, and a small laugh escaped past
her lips. “Dragon, eh?”
“Dragon,” I agreed. “Daren should be worried because
you’ll probably eat him for dinner if he accidentally steps
on your tail.”
I closed my eyes and breathed in her scent – she smelled
of peaches from the shampoo and body lotion she used.
