章 28: The Palace

Kieran's POV

I froze momentarily, as my brain tried to process what had just happened. Time seemed to stop to a halt as Xander's lips stayed pressed against mine. My skin buzzed, a million and one emotions running through my mind. It didn't help that I could barely figure out what they were, before the emotions would switch up again. They ranged from shock, confusion, before finally settling for a swarm of butterflies floating around in my belly.

Not knowing what else to do, I pressed my eyes shut. Even that didn't do much. I was still over aware of Xander's lips against me. Like that wasn't torture enough, a musky smell wafted through my nostrils. It was intoxicating to say the least and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to sniff him even more.
