“Mmm,” he hummed. “I can see that.”
I shifted, easing onto my back. And that’s when I realized my head hadn’t been resting on a pillow. It was his biceps. No wonder I felt his warmth all around me. It was like the world clicked into place at that moment. The fog of my antianxiety medicine and recent panic attack vanished. His face, eyes closed and a smile curving his full lips, burned through it.
The dim light hid the exact details of his face but left a calm, smooth span of skin I really wanted to touch.
“What’s it like?”
“What?” he asked, still not opening his eyes.
“Blindness.”
“Fucking hate it.” His eyes opened, and the brown halo encompassing his blue irises was more pronounced in the darkness. “Especially right now.”
I turned more, holding my breath. Sure wish I had a sucker to make sure my breath didn’t totally reek. “Right now?”
His eyes bobbed slightly, and he squinted. “I want to see you so bad. Then I could aim the kiss I really want to give you.”
I sucked in a breath.
“Please don’t have another panic attack.” His hand came into view, and two fingertips touched the end of my nose. “Oops. I was aiming for your face.”
I guided his hand to my cheek. “Close.”
He stared at me with unseeing eyes for the longest time. “You haven’t passed out, have you?”
“No.”
“Good.” His thumb swirled along my cheek. “You’re smiling, aren’t you?”
“Yep.”
“I can feel it.” His thumb grazed my bottom lip. “Why?”
“Because you’ve technically already kissed me.”
His eyes went wide and he froze, his thumb pressed at the corner of my mouth. “Prize…that was a dream.”
I shook my head, and his eyes went even wider, so I could tell he understood the movement.
“Lizzie. I—”
“I like LizBelle,” I whispered.
“Well, I’d like to collect my prize, please.”
This time I gulped.
“Or I’ll sic Vin after you,” he teased.
“You remember?”
He edged closer to me. “I thought I was dreaming most of the time. I mean, unless we really did have sex.”
“Omigosh, Damon.”
He laughed. “Hey. I’m a guy. What else do we dream about?”
Heat crawled up my neck, and his hold on my cheek increased.
