If you like music while you read, try "Every Time We Touch" by Brent Morgan. It's what I was listening to while writing these next two chapters!

~ TARKYN ~
"It wasn't a dream," Harth whispered. "Finally. You're here."
Tarkyn couldn't hide his smile as he nodded. "Finally."
Her entire face lit up with joy, and Tarkyn couldn't resist kissing her. But the moment their lips met, he groaned as his body came to life again.
Holding her chin, he smiled into the kiss, rolling her onto her back when she sighed and softened to him.
He'd only intended to kiss her, to give her a taste of the emotions welling in his chest as he'd watched her sleep, but when her hands clawed up his back, and she tilted her head to deepen the kiss, his beast began to purr.
For a while, the only sound in the cave was their twin breaths, growing shallower, faster. Their heartbeats speeding up.
