His arms are still wrapped loosely around her waist, his fingers spread wide against the fabric of her cotton shirt. At some point, her hands had found their way atop and tightly intertwined with his. As she forced herself to loosen her desperate grip on him and blink open her eyes. She called upon all of her willpower to drop his hands and step out of his hold. But when she turned back to tell him she’d just be a few minutes, his hooded stormy grey eyes drew her right back in, and suddenly that had not been nearly enough.
