Nathan's POV
I couldn't stop smiling all day because of what happened with Kyra. She was giving me another chance; I could feel her letting me in, slowly, bit by bit. The way she anticipated my kiss last night… damn, what a waste that Snow interrupted us. I missed Kyra's lips desperately. I wanted to kiss her again, to feel that connection we once shared, but I needed to take it slow. I clearly shocked her last night.
It hadn't actually been my intention to kiss her. But when I saw her lips up close, something primal inside me ignited. Alaric growled his approval in my mind, urging me forward. I couldn't control myself; I wanted to feel her soft lips against mine again after all this time.
It's been a few days since that almost-kiss happened, and I was still floating on cloud nine because of it. Kyra could still affect me like no other woman ever had. I was still madly in love with her, and there was no denying that anymore.
