Chapter 52

ADRIANA

As his tongue brushed over mine, a torrent of conflicting emotions urged from within. Filling me and taking over my entire existence. Everything I was supposed to feel, and not feel towards this man disappeared with every languid sweep of his tongue against mine.

I forgot what I had been about to do before he deepened the kiss. I only found myself succumbing deeper into it. Letting it consume me. Beneath the surface of whatever animosity I held towards him. I couldn't help identifying some other emotions. An unchartered territory of longing and a deeper connection. One I'm not ready to name.

I couldn't remember my name at this point. I certainly did not have enough working brain cells to think of tedious things as emotions.

Xander whispered something I didn't catch. Then I feel his hands in my hair, tugging on the updo Ursula had spent hours perfecting. I mentally apologized to her as I felt myself sinking deeper into his abyss.
