His hot breath fanned over my skin as he growled in a possessive, husky tone, "I'm very conscious... and I want you. Now."
I placed my hands on his chest, trying to push him back gently not because I wanted to refuse, but because I was terrified for him. "But your wound... it'll get damaged. You might bleed out again, you madman," I breathed, my voice hitching.
