Mysterious Chime (Book #1)
Inching closer to me, he whispered my name once again. "Nora." All I could see was Axel's lips nearing mine with every passing second. Gulping at the building intensity between the two of us, I moved back slowly with an attempt to meet his eyes. Axel, however, had other plans when he turned his body towards me, caging me in place with one arm beside my head.

His voice came out rasped. ■ ■ ■ 𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑨𝒎𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒂.
