Skai's face flushed at his proposal. Wasting no time, Jared closed the space between them.

"You look incredible here, Skai," he complimented, his breath hot against her skin.
A shiver of delight danced across her skin. "So do you," Skai breathed back.
Jared's hand slipped around her waist, pulling her flush against him. His touch ignited a fire within her, a yearning she couldn't ignore.
He trailed a finger down her bare arm, sending sparks flying where his touch lingered. Skai gasped.
