Adrein.
Internally, I was losing my mind.
Every single word Maria spoke only pushed me closer to the edge.
It was as though each sentence she uttered carried the power to completely destroy the little self-control I still possessed.
My thoughts were in complete disarray, and my wolf was even worse.
Then, before I could gather myself, she grabbed the collar of my shirt once again and pulled me closer.
The sudden movement caught me completely off guard, as the distance between us disappeared almost instantly.
I could feel her warm breath brushing faintly against my skin and it was enough to make my entire body tense.
The closeness was intoxicating, dangerously so, and every instinct inside me screamed for me to pull her into my arms, to hold her tightly and to pin her beneath me and never let her go.
It took every ounce of restraint I possessed not to give in to those reckless urges.
