Chapter 60

  GRACIE

  "Love me Gracie! " his voice cracked out filled with raw emotions that made his gaze seemed darker and stormy. 

  "I will..." I found myself whispering passionately. 

  He made no move to touch me other from the firm grip that held me against his hard chest ....i could feel the tenseness radiating off his muscles....His laboured breath indicated that he was fighting an internal battle with himself . He was trying to hold himself back. 

  I realized slowly that he was giving me an opportunity to choose if I  wanted him or not ...the thought took my breath away and at the same time made me feel....needed and gave me a sense of freedom. 

  His gaze held mine like a spell, like a dangerous, delirious kind of magic. I swallowed, my heart thrummed with anticipation and an inexplicable, unidentifiable hunger.

  The air got so thick , it became hard to draw in a breath.
