They were so close. His warm breath caressed her neck, the crisp, appealing scent of his woody cologne penetrating deep within her.

Thalia’s nerves suddenly tightened, her breathing becoming rapid.

After speaking, Asher lowered his gaze to Thalia’s lips, so tantalizingly close, and leaned in.

The gentle, warm sensation touched Thalia’s lips, so light it was like the delicate brushing of a feather.
