Deliberately, his gaze fell to her lips.
Her breathing turned ragged, and she wished just once that he could kiss her.
He leaned closer and gently twisted her hair, angling her head as he brought their mouths incredibly close.
'You're still bleeding.' He licked the centre of her lips, soft and agonisingly slow. His tongue felt like heaven and hell. Like everything she wanted and all she couldn't have. She had to stop herself from leaning closer, though she doubted Jacks would let her. She could feel his fingers against her scalp, holding her in place, keeping her lips just shy of his.
But maybe it was close enough. Maybe they didn't have to touch. She could live like this as long as she could live with him.”

“She could feel the cool of his arms sliding gently under her legs and carefully under her neck as he cradled her to his chest.
'It hurts, Jacks.'
'I know, love. I'm going to take you somewhere safe.”
