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.

So, before he left for the night, I did.

Now, as I lay in bed, I want nothing more than to text him and go to the roof with him. But what if he thinks that kiss gives him an opening to push for more.

“What are you doing?” I ask. I didn’t text him and the only reason he would be here is if he were coming to get me.

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.”
