" Say it again," Mateo demands as I fight to scramble my words together. His head rests in my neck, laying short, quick kisses. I can't focus. Those lips that I adore, smoothly run up and down my neck and collar bones.
He nips my skin "Fucking Say it Everdeen."
A small sting erupts over my skin. Gathering by voice, I spill the words he's been begging to hear
"I love you."
