Chapter 0191
| don’t understand why Liam would do so much for me. Doubling his patrols, givinga place to stay, planning
to buyclothes, feeding me, givingmedical treatment. No one does all that just because a person needs
it. It that were the case, my family and | wouldn't have suffered for years as rogues.
I'm not sure | trust his reasons, but he does seem genuine that he wantsto be safe.
“I trust him.” Alessia says. “There was nothing deceitful in his scent when he was talking.”
“You trust him? We don’t even know him Alessia."
| feel her almost fidgeting in my mind. ‘Alessia?”
‘I don’t know why, but | trust both of them.’
I sigh. | trust her and she trusts them. And Cara and Artemis also trust them, so for now, I'll let it go. I'll just have
to figure out a way to pay him back for all of his assistance.

| finish getting ready, continuing to wear clothes that hide my scars and leaving my long hair down so the scars
on my neck aren't noticeable. | would like to get my hair cut, but Liam said he likes it long. | admit, | enjoyed last
night when he was running his fingers through it. It felt nice.
| walk out of my room and across the hall to his room. His door is open slightly and I'm about to knock when it
swings open and he nearly runsover. He grabsbefore he could knockdown. “Geez Angel, | could
have hurt you!” In the instant when our bodies collide, Liam wraps his arm around my waist, liftingoff the
ground, holdingso that we are eye to eye. His other hand is against the door jamb keeping us from falling.
I'm mesmerized by his sage colored eyes. My heart rate increases but I'm not sure if it's because of my near fall
or our close proximity.
The heat of his body seeps into mine, my hands on are on his chest and I’m reminded once again of his strong,
muscular body.
“Baby girl. You need you to stop looking atlike that.”
“Like what?” | ask softly, licking my lips.
His eyes track down to watch my tongue before returning to mine, considerably darker than they were a moment
ago.
His voice is lower, somehow soft and growly at the stime, “Like you want to taste me.”
| look at his lips. | do want to taste them. | swallow hard. His scent surroundingis making my head spin.
That's the only excuse for what | do next. | lean in and gently slide my tongue between the seem of his lips.
| feel his body tense up, his arm aroundpullingimpossibly closer, his eyes. never leaving mine. His lips
part and his tongue slides out to meet mine. Electric tingles shoot throughand a ripple of pleasure slides
down my spine as my eyes drift close. His hand comes up into my hair, gently tugging my head to the side and
deepening the kiss. He tastes of fresh air and sunshine. | didn’t know. that was possible, but there it is.
It takesa moment to realize the whimpers | hear are coming from me. | can feel more than hear the growls
rumbling in Liam’s chest as he deepens the kiss even more, his tongue teasing mine in an intricate dance. The
sound makes my nipples harden and sends jolts of pleasure straight to my core. A warmth I've never felt before
causes an uncomfortable feeling between my legs, a pressure that needs to be released. | wrap my legs around
his waist, feeing a dampness in my panties.

He pulls away, and | can tell he can smell my arousal. He puts his forehead. against mine. “Baby girl, we have to
stop.”
I'm immediately embarrassed by my actions. Of course he wouldn't want me. My body is a scarred mess and his
is perfection. I'm sure he could have anyone he wanted, someone gorgeous just like him.
I slide my legs down from around his waist, but he doesn’t letgo. | look up at him, and | know my face is
bright red. “I'm sorry.” | say and look down at a spot on his throat.
His hand slides from the back of my head to my chin, lifting it, forcingto meet his eyes. “Baby girl, this is not
a rejection. | want so much more of what we are starting here. But you are not yet ready for what | want to give
you and | wouldn't want to stop once we start. When you are ready, | will take my time, touching you, tasting
you and making you feel pleasure that you've never felt before.”
His words have the heat pulsing in my core again. | watch his nostrils flare as he smells the impact of his words.
“Fuck baby. If you don’t stop smelling this delicious, we're not making it to dinner.” He slowly slidesdown his
body, his eyes on me. | gasp when | feel how hard his large, long length is. When my f are on the ground, he
leans down and nuzzles my ear. “I wanted you to feel that,
416 HONOS
just in case you thought | wasn’t serious about how much | want you.”
