The gentle thud of his heart beat mesmerized her ears. It was like the tick of a clock, yet slower, more methodical. And the fact that it was serene to her mind and body, it made their fireworks show seem to last for eternity.574Please respect copyright.PENANAxwWG1pFag8
She nestled deeper into his arms, if they were ever lost to each other, God himself would have had to branch down from the mighty winds of the heavens and rein down on them.
