Chapter 0603

At first, Nicholas simply pressed his lips to mine, non-demanding. It was sweet, and I cherished it. But it wasn't enough.

With all the bad news now weighing heavily upon us, threatening to drag us down, we both needed the affirmation of the other's presence and affections. My devotion to Nicholas was unparalleled, and I wanted to show him that. I could prove it to him.
