Post conversation. Emma needs more reassurance from Killian when they’re alone that night.
He knows what she needs before she asks it of him, her back
arching against the tangled sheets of their bed, her eyes shadowed and her
hands pressed tight against his bare skin. There are nights when she needs the
silence between them – needs to hear the way his breath stutters and starts
between them as she moves. How it matches her own and falls in time with the
staccato of his heart.But then there are nights when she needs to hear him – needs
his words in her ear just as much as his teeth upon her neck to help her to
forget.
