His lips barely moved as he whispered, “I worry you're not wild enough.

Whatever your plan, whether it's to end me or to push me to my limits, I play along." Once he finished, he quickly dipped his head, pressing his lips against hers with intensity. It felt like the relief of rain after a long drought, that known tenderness enveloping him fully. In that instant, he lost all sense of reason! The one Jarrod had longed for more

Jarrod instinctively shut his eyes, immersing himself in the feeling.

Nicole's expression turned into a scowl as she looked at him. "You've lost your mind!" Jarrod responded with a grin, "Madly, but only for you." A gentle smile flickered in Nicole's eyes. Her actions since she came back were all about testing him, to find out if he still had feelings for her.
