Bab 146: Unrequited

**************

CHAPTER 146 - Unrequited Love

Jared's lips curved into a slow, seductive smile. "And… we could continue from where we stopped," he murmured, closing the distance between them.

Skai's face flushed at his proposal. Wasting no time, Jared closed the space between them.

Heat radiated from his body, warming her through the thin fabric of her dress. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear. 

"You look incredible here, Skai," he complimented, his breath hot against her skin.

A shiver of delight danced across her skin. "So do you," Skai breathed back.

Jared's hand slipped around her waist, pulling her flush against him. His touch ignited a fire within her, a yearning she couldn't ignore.

He trailed a finger down her bare arm, sending sparks flying where his touch lingered. Skai gasped.

He cupped her face in his hands, his eyes burning into hers.
