Nick’s POV
Well, kissing her has gotten even better since the last time.
I really wasn’t expecting her to do it. I swear, the more I learn about her, the more I realize how completely and utterly out of my league she is. I mean, think about it. She’s real royalty, on both sides—vamp and wolf. I’ve got no royal blood in me. She’s also got the memories, and possibly the genes, of a legendary and celestial creature who lives forever. I, well... don’t.
It’s more than any of that, though. It’s her spirit. It’s the fact that she’s fierce, kind, good, and brave, through and through. In a way I’ll never begin to compare with.
Anyway, back to the kiss.
It becomes clear within seconds of her jumping on me that we’ve both been thinking about this moment quite a bit since our smaller kiss the oth
