Emma's hands shook and clung to Jaden's shirt.

Her lips, soft and broken, pressed against his with an eager need to drown the ache in her heart. She lost herself in the warmth and safety he offered.

Her breath hitched as if each second of closeness with him could mend a part of her shattered soul. Jaden froze, his eyes widened in disbelief and shock.
