Stone ran a finger along my swollen lips. He looked deeply into my eyes, his darkened gaze penetrating me. His grip became tighter like he had no intention of letting my body leave from his side for a lifetime.

His kisses travelled down my jawline until his tongue comes in contact with my neck. The heat and sensation left me panting and fisting his shirt.

Pushing away and letting out a final involuntary moan, I crossed my arms and sit up "I have to stay with Lana. She needs me."

"I know." He nodded understandingly but heat me firmly on his lap "I will just miss you."

"I will miss you too." I spoke back.

"I need you in my arms, Medusa." He let out lowly and gruffly.

To distract myself from the desire to wrap my giant and I in a cocoon for the night, I read all the titles on his bookshelf. However, my admiration of the hardbacks ended just as it had begun because I could feel him watching me.

"If you could go any place in the world, where would it be?" He randomly asked in his husky voice.

The answer came straight to mind because it had been the same answer since I was twelve years old.

"The Royal Portuguese Reading Room in Rio De Janeiro." I answered before I started my rant "It is this old yet beautiful library that looks like something from a Disney film. I have always wanted to lay in the middle of the room and not care about the stares from locals or other tourists. I would try to steal an expensive book even if it was in a foreign language. If I was found out, I would just run to a busy beach or I would blend into some extravagant festival that was taking place. I would—"

He cut off my description of my dream place and continues it perfectly "You would sit in a small bar drinking a fancy cocktail that had a cut open piece of exotic fruit for a glass. You would have a room with a beach view. One that would let you feel the sunrise from your bed when you woke up."

"That is freaky!" I exclaimed after he had finished "It is like you have read my mind or..."

I stilled and I glared at his smirk.

"Oh no!" I shirked in horror "You found my blog that I had when I was younger!"

Stone smiled evilly while staring up at my shocked expression "Ella Explains Everything is the cutest name. It did not take me long to find it."

"No." I groaned as I let my head fall onto his chest.

He kissed the top of my head before he continued to tease me "My personal favourite post that young Ella wrote was about your planned trip to the library in Brazil and your theories about how little creatures guarded the books at night."
