““I have no intention of becoming a Norn.” “Good because I wouldn’t let you.” “Let me? Who died and gave you the key to my future?” He stopped, his eyes roaming my face. I swallowed at the heat in his eyes. He let go of my hand, reached up, and pushed the hair away from my face. “You did when you ran across your yard and fell into my arms like it was where you belonged. When you look at me with a mixture of innocent wonder, seductive charm, and enough defiance to make a lesser man back off.” He lifted my chin, running his thumb across my lower lip. My breath caught. He gave me a slow, sexy smirk. “When I touch you and your breath catches.” Slowly, his eyes not leaving mine, he lowered his head. “When you forget to breathe because I’m about to kiss you.””
