Lily didn’t get <b>a </b>response from James.

He was kissing her feverishly, as if he had finallyid <b>hands </b>on the treasure he’d yearned for. He clung to this brief moment like it was sacred, deaf to the world around him. All he wanted was to worship the girl he held so close to his heart.
Lily realized that James was in no state for a conversation.
So she didn’t try. Instead, she tightened her arms around him, letting him deepen the <b>kiss</b>, letting indulge… for a lifetime, if <b>that’s </b>what he needed.
“<b>Lily</b>”
James’s kisses grew hotter.
He was desperate to get closer, to erase every boundary between them.
But he remembered the dream–how he’d <b>taken </b>her without restraint, and how she <b>had </b>vanished from his arms. If he <b>crossed </b>the line now, it would be no different from forcing her. That <b>would </b>only make her hate him more. So even with the fire raging inside him, he stopped himself from going any further.
He <b>was </b>burning with desire.
It took every ounce of strength he had not just for this lifetime but the next–not to tear her clothes apart.
“Don’t leave me. Never leave me… even if it’s only <b>in </b>a dream<b>…</b>”
He stopped kissing her and simply held her, squeezing her with all his might, whispering hoarsely over and over again.
His grip was <b>so </b>tight that it hurt
But what hurt Lily more was how much pain he was in
Her heart ached for him–wildly, uncontrobly–so much <b>so </b>that she couldn’t bear to push him away. She let him hold her as tightly as he wanted…
‘Lily?”
Curled up in his warm embrace, Lily felt safer than she ever had before, and slept deeply through the <b>night</b>.
In the morning, she slowly opened her eyes to the sound of his stunned, uncertain voice.
James wasn’t the type to ck but from drinking.
But <bst </b>night, he’d burned so hot with fever that his brain had turned to mush. He couldn’t tell dreami from reality, and he’dpletely forgotten what he had done.

As the memories started toe back, his eyes filled with guilt and confusion

He lowered his gaze and quickly checked their bodies. Her clothes were still on, and so were his. Only then did he breathe a tiny sigh of relief.
The girl in his arms was impossibly soft, filled with <b>a </b>sweetiess that made him lose control.
He wanted nothing more than to crush her into his bones.
But she hated him. Her heart belonged to Jackson. She’d even gotten rid of their child. How could he keep <b>pushing </b>himself on her?
Noticing his <b>hand </b>was still around her, he flinched like he’d been shocked and pulled b putting some distance between them.
His mind quickly cleared, and he guessed Ashton inust have been the one to call her over.
And he–he’d taken advantage of his strength, ignored her wishes, and clung to her like some kind of brute all night long.
Tm sorry. I
James hated himself more than anything. Face pale, he backed away, trying to find the words to apologize -only to feel a soft, sweet body crash right back into his arms.
Lily<b>, </b>you
He looked up in disbelief–and saw her smiling at him, radiant and bright.
Her eyes were breathtaking.
Like dark gems sinking into ripplingke water, mesmerizing and beautiful.
His heart skipped a beat. For the first <b>time </b>in his brave and stubborn life, he couldn’t bring himself to meet
someone’s gaze…
He hurriedly looked away–only to catch sight of her trembling red lips.
He wanted to kiss them.
But he couldn’t.
So he forced himself to <b>turn </b><b>his </b>head, ignoring the soft warmth right beside him, even keeping his eyes. shut.
“James, why are your eyes closed?”
Lily touched the red tip of his ear, teasing him. “Is the sunlight too bright for you?”
It wasn’t the sunlight.
It was the storm in his heart.

He was afraid that if he looked at her, if he let himself think about her, he would lose control–would go after her, even knowing she wanted to be with Jackson.
Even knowing it wasn’t right.
Lily, spoiled by his affection and fearless because of it, boldly flipped over and halfy on top of him.
James’s mind exploded, his body freezing like a burning–hot statue,
He’d never dared to dream she would willingly lie on top of him.
Still, he didn’t move. Didn’t look. Didn’t even breathe too loudly.
All he could do was let her scent seep
into every
ry corner of his senses, into his soul.
“You said a lot of nonsense while you were burning upst night.”
Lily tilted her head up and poked him in the chest.
The way his body tensed at her touch, like someone desperately fighting temptation, made her eyes curve into a bright smile.
“You said… you knew I was Le. And you said you liked me. James, were you just rambling, or… do you really like me?
So he’d said all thatst night while he was burning up?
