His lips, soft and parted ever so slightly, were a definite no-go. Her eyes traced down the column of this throat, the sharp edge of his collarbone just below his open collar, the spot over his heart where hours ago, in another life, she'd rested her hand and felt the rhythm of his pulse. <br /><br />"How are we going to get Zephyr out of the dungeon?" she asked his chest.
