Kisses

Alaric escorted Eve to their chamber. The moment they entered, he immediately trapped her between the wall and his towering figure.

"Alaric," Eve uttered his name as she gazed up, her heartbeat racing.

Alaric stared at her intently with a serious expression on his face. He leaned closer to her face and whispered.

"I have a lot of things I need to know about you. However, I don't want to force you to speak up… unless you are willing to tell me everything." He raised his hand to caress her face.

Eve bit her lower lip. 'We can talk. But why does he have to be so close like this?'

Alaric's free hand was holding her waist while her back was resting on the wall. Their faces were just a few inches away from each other and she could smell his minty masculine scent.
