*CHANNING's PoV*
Channing saw her this up close and everything he was holding inside crumbled. His special abilities made everything reach tenfold high, and the emotion that was stirring in his heart was already touching the top.
He knew this was not right. Selene was not in her senses and that was only because of him. But holding back was so hard when she made that face. He wanted to hold her tenderly.
Her eyes closed, and he saw the guilt that lingered in her hazel eyes. Channing felt pushed forward by something inside him and even he wanted this to be stopped. His overflowing emotions needed to be given a halt. But when Selene closed her eyes in anticipation and her teeth bit into her lower lip before letting go of it, making it go darker, he couldn't help it.
Channing clenched his jaw. How could he hold back like this? It was tough to contain himself in the first place and with her; he felt all his inner barriers lift on their own.
