[Bonus chapter] Chapter 27: I burn for you (2)

"A flame burns in my heart, the fire that only you can extinguish," she began to say to him. "I will tell you every day, I burn for you, Damian Delgado," she confessed.

Serena struggled to keep her senses. His scent filled her nostrils, and her core shivered with anticipation. They were so close to each other, their lips almost touching. 

Damian's broad shoulder rose and fell with slow controlled breaths. Her words shook him. He has a penetrating gaze, he gazed at her with a serious face. But Serena could swear that she saw him almost smiling. 

"You shouldn't play with dangerous words, little one," he uttered. 

Serena pressed her body against his, closing in on him. She leaned to his ear and whispered. "I'm not that little."

Damian swallowed hard. Had was beginning to see that about her. She was more than met the eye and she didn't let him forget it. It was like each day, he was meeting her for the first time.
