Gnero pulled me into his arms, comforting me as I clung to him. The tension between us was electric, our bodies drawn together in a way that needed no words. “I want you,” I whispered, our breaths mingling. Those men had told me something that hunted me… They had known that I was a virgin. I could see the way Gnero’s eyes were wild with hunger, at least it would be better if my first was my husband even though I never agreed to such a marriage, at least it would be my choice. I placed my hand on his chest, a clear indication of what I wanted even though I didn’t know what exactly that I was doing. A smirk played on his lips. “I thought you’d never say it,” he murmured, pulling me into a kiss that melted me into him.
