Chapter 84

Music Recommendation: Ordinary by Alex Warren.

Tim felt Aurora's heartbeat thundering against his chest, matching his own. She was so soft, so warm in his arms that it wrecked him.

He kissed her again, slower this time, while savoring her. His tongue brushed against her lower lip, and she parted for him with a sigh that broke something inside him. Their mouths moved in a rhythm that only they knew. It felt like breathing, like remembering.

Tim's hands framed her face, his thumbs sweeping over the curve of her cheekbones with reverence. "You'very always been so beautiful," he murmured against her lips.

Aurora whimpered softly as his hands slid down her sides, stopping at the hem of her tank top. He paused, his chest rising and falling heavily. Giving her a moment to stop him if she wanted to.

She didn't.

Instead, she lifted her arms, letting him pull the fabric up and over her head.
