Brielle's POV
I am still panting, trying to slow my breathing. My thumping heart and thoughts are in wild disarray ��Wow, that was astounding.
I open my eyes, and he has his forehead pressed against mine, his eyes closed, his breathing ragged. Jace's eyes flicker open and gaze down at me, dark but soft. He's still inside me. He gently presses a kiss against my forehead then slowly pulls out of me.
"Ooh." I wince at the unfamiliarity.
"Did I hurt you?" Jace asks as he lies down beside me, propped on one elbow. He tucks a stray strand of my hair behind my ear, and I grin widely.
"You are asking me if you hurt me?" I shyly inquired.
"The irony is not lost on me," he smiles sardonically. "Seriously, are you okay?" His eyes are intense, probing, demanding even.
