Hailey It was no secret that Damien carried magic on his tongue—both the good kind and the dangerous kind. And right now, as he drew me closer and closer to the edge, I couldn't tell which magic this was—but it was magic nonetheless. A magic so potent it made me forget the wounds I carried, the pain I'd endured, the horrors I'd survived. Maybe he was magic himself but when had he ever let me get close enough to understand him fully?  "Damien," I moaned, gripping his head tightly, my other hand brushing against the back of his neck, feeling a shiver ripple through me. And if I weren't wrong—a shiver passed through his spine as well. I felt it, against my skin, in my flesh. With ease, he found my sweet spot and lingered there, taking his time, as if with every stroke of his tongue there he was erasing all the pain I'd known.
