Page 137 of Knot What I Expected

“You have no fucking idea,” he rasps.

“What?”

“What you do to me.”

My heart aches. I pull his mouth back to mine. Because maybe I don't know what comes next.

Maybe tomorrow I'll remember all the reasons this is dangerous.

Maybe the secrets I've spent years protecting will come crashing down around me.

But tonight?

For the first time in years, I don't want to run. I want to stay right here.

Pressed against Rowan's truck.

Wrapped in the arms of a Wolf I absolutely should not trust.

Kissing him like some part of me already does.

Yeah, I think I do.

Chapter 14

Havoc

I don't know how long I kiss her.

Long enough to forget about the burns screaming across my back.

Long enough to forget I haven't slept worth a damn in days.

Long enough that the parking lot, the bar, the wildfire, and every fucked-up thing I've ever believed about myself disappear until there's nothing left but Gabriella.

Gabby.

Honey Girl.

Her hands are buried in my hair, her soft body pressed between mine and the truck, and every time I think I should ease up, she kisses me harder.

Fuck.

She wants this. She wants me.

That realization hits someplace dangerously close to my heart.

Monster is losing his fucking mind.

Mine.

Not now.

Mate.

I know.

Fuck.
