" What are you afraid of?” I asked again.
“I thought you said I was afraid of
nothing once,” he threw back.
“I did.”
Aiden shifted slightly and his thumb
caressed the curve of my cheek. “I’m
afraid of something.”
“What?” I whispered.
He drew in a deep, shuddering breath. “I’m afraid of never being allowed
to feel what I do. "
