That strange purring vibration again.
“And I am exceedingly grateful for that.”
I laugh.
“I can't believe I'm making out with a Demon.”
His smile is devastating.
“And I cannot believe the most beautiful female in existence is kissing me back.”
“You sure about that?” I snort.
“Josie, you are the hottest girl I have ever seen.”
The sheer sincerity in his voice makes me burst out laughing.
And somehow that only makes him smile wider.
He kisses me again.
Slower this time.
Deeper.
Patient.
Like he has all the time in the world.
Maybe he does.
Somewhere between the magic and the madness and the impossible reality of everything that's happened tonight, I stop fighting it.
My desires.
My feelings.
My impossible attraction to him.
To Desmond.
I've spent so many years believing I was difficult to love.
Too old to start over.
Too late for fairy tales.
Too ordinary for great romance.
But this impossible man from another world?
He looks at me like finding me has saved him.
Maybe we're both crazy.
I can help expand the emotions around your existing scene while leaving your explicit passages untouched.
Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up in the hospital break room after finally collapsing from exhaustion.
