NovelEnglishChapter 0512 ATTICUS Her fingers brush down my abdomen tantalisingly, the intense tingles of her touch making pleasure dance through me. A dangerous temptation drawingin like an intoxicating drug. Each moment around her entices me, binding me. This is the power of the bond and when it promises such pleasure... how can anyone deny it?

Her stunning green eyes dip to my lips and I feel an illicit spark rush south before I clear my throat and look away. "I uh, should get this cleaned up. Do you have any bandages? I usually have a first aid kit, but I didn't actually include one in my luggage this time." She looks atin disbelief before she lets out a laugh. "You carry around a first aid kit? What a prince."
