Chapter 42. A Battle for Survival

Caroline's POV

I clutched his dress and fought hard to stay sane and not lose myself in the kiss, as it felt soothing and passionate at the same time. His hand went to my nape as he deepened the kiss even more, and it felt like the world slowed down for a moment and all I could feel was the taste of him and the warmth of his body. I was so lost in the kiss that I forgot to breathe, but he pulled back, and our lips parted before he looked at me with his eyes filled with emotions.

I stared deep into his eyes, and he rested his forehead against mine as he tried to catch our breath. This might be the end, but I couldn't care at all. As long as I was with him, then I wouldn't mind being in his arms like this even in the next life. He was the only one who had brought meaning to the cruel, meaningless world that I found myself in.

He had managed to break the walls I built around my heart and filled my insides with so much joy that I couldn't contain it
