Chapter 26: Chapter Twenty-Six

*Brielle’s POV*

Everything in me feels charged with electricity. The feeling of the touch sends chills up my arms. My entire body is trembling. He feels the same way. He has felt the same way all this time. While we both started this misadventure hating one another, there was no doubt now those feelings were long gone.

I lay against his chest, and I swear I can feel his heartbeat pulsing with mine. The warmth his body naturally radiates off of his skin and seeps into me. It is not the only thing I want to seep into me, and my instinct says I am not the only one who feels this way.

Teasingly, he leans forward and keeps his lips just a breath away from mine, tucking his thumb just under my chin to keep me from lunging forward again and ambushing him with another kiss. His breath quivers in his chest. I can hear him trying to control each inhalation.
