Running from His Claim (Beauty and the Beast #2)
69 parts Complete "I wish to ask you something." It took me a moment to make Warren out. He sat watching me.
I sat up, still a little drowsy. "Shoot."
He was instantly concerned. "What's the matter?"
Oh, he took it to mean that. "No, I mean go ahead, ask me."
"Oh. Would you forgive me any fault?"
"What, you planning on killing Kyle?"
He chuckled throatily, and I fell in love with the sound all over again. "Please be serious."
"You know I would."
He tipped my face up and his eyes bore into mine as if he was trying to read my very soul. "Any fault, Belle?"
"Anything..." I affirmed, then teased, "except Prague."
He rolled his eyes and sat back. "Tonight I watch over the forest. May I escort you home?"
"Yeah, sure."
I turned to pack up. Warren turned me back to him, slipped both hands into my hair possessively. And then his lips were on mine.
