Juniper’s POV The cool, soft mattress under my back wakes me from the slumber that I didn’t know I had succumbed too. The magical energy that sparks on my cheek, tells me that it is Archer’s fingers that are touching me. Goddess, I love this feeling. I can feel the heat of his gaze as it slides over me. He leans over me, hovering above my face before connecting his lips to mine in a tender, chaste kiss. I couldn’t stop the soft moan that escapes me. As tired as I am, I need this. I need him. His elbows come down to rest on either side of my body, as be holds his body above mine and deepens the kiss. I thread my hands in the back of his hair and hold him to me, not wanting the kiss to end. I am desperate for air and yet I don’t want this kiss to end, the equal need of both
