The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0503

Clint gave me his word as a Guardian. Again.

This time it was about wanting to kiss me. I wish it didn’t make my heart flutter, but it did. I still hardened my heart and told him, basically, that I didn’t believe. him, until he gave me his word. After that, all I could think about was kissing him. again.

He holds up his hand and it has my clothes in it. “Returning your clothes and checking to see if you were able to fall asleep tonight, since I didn’t hear from you.”

“Oh.”
