She looked anxious and eager to see her son. When she spotted Arthur, her eyes lit up with pure excitement. “I knew
[Ella’s POV] I felt like I was floating on a cloud. At first, it seemed like I was being torn to pieces. The pain that resonated within me—it was like a fire had been set to burn beneath my skin. Every nerve was spiraling and coiling beyond control. I almost begged them both to stop. But then,

A surprised whimper slipped from my mouth which Arthur gladly stole as he deepened the kiss. My whole body shook when I felt the hot, demanding press of his tongue swept into my mouth. I clutched at his arms to steady myself. My heart slammed against my rib cage while a spark of luscious heat
“Are you sure you’re ready to head back to campus?” Liam said through the phone. “It’s okay if you’re still feeling a bit under the weather.
