Storm shut his eyes, fighting back the tears. Storm deepened the kiss, his arms tightening around her waist.
"Tell her Storm. Please. You need to. She is hurting. Make her see," Silver pleaded. "Our mate is hurting because of you."
Storm shut his eyes, fighting back the tears.
His tongue brushed over hers and they battled. She moaned as she kissed him back. Although hurt, Tori tried to take over, willing Raven's reluctance away as she ignited her hormones.
But before Tori could take over, Raven pulled away, placing her hand on Storm's chest to stop him.
She swallowed, her blue eyes lost in his.
"I love you, Raven." Hot tears rolled down Raven's cheek while staring into his tear stained eyes. "I love you. My every being has loved you since I was with you. You broke my defenses and... I care. I care deeply about you."
