My teeth were still slamming on each other in a war and my body was a mass of chills running through it incessantly. In better words, I was fucking freezing. Yet, peering into Haiden’s eyes warmed me enough to ease my worries.

With him, I wasn’t afraid that I could potentially get hypothermia.

“You‘ll be okay.” He says lowly, rubbing my hands a little more hastily.

The brown in his eyes shaded with worry and I realized he wasn’t necessarily trying to ease my worries but his own. The tightening of his hands around my own said it all. Haiden Cross was a hundred percent worried about my well being than his own being.

I know I shouldn’t have worn shorts today. But in my defense today really did start off hot and I heard nothing of an approaching storm. Haiden’s fingers stay motionless for a couple of seconds before he spoke.

The hoodie. Take it off.” His demand was raspy and did something to me that I would rather keep to myself. His fingers skimmed my thigh as he tugs at the hoodie. I think he did it on purpose, there was no way he didn’t know how he affected me right now.
