CHAPTER 289
~Zara's POV~
My heart thudded, and my body responded to his touch, the desire pooling in my stomach.
I pressed my body against him, kissing him back.
He kissed me harder, more profoundly, and his hands found their way beneath the shirt, his warm fingers tracing patterns on my skin.
I moaned into the kiss, losing myself completely.
In the heat of the moment, he gently pushed me down against the grass.
His hands were everywhere, caressing and exploring every inch of my body as he gently ebbed his shirt off my body.
His gaze washed over me, taking in my nakedness with those piercing appreciative green eyes.
"Beautiful," he whispered, and a shiver ran down my spine.
I lost myself in his gaze, feeling a fire ignite in the depths of my stomach.
