QUOTE : A passionate thirst unlike any I’d ever known flared in my veins. Without thinking, I ran across the room toward Elias, letting the blanket fall to the floor. His eyes widened at my approach, and I threw my arms around him, bouncing off my toes and wrapping my legs around his waist as I crashed into him. He caught me, his hands splayed across my back as I pressed my lips to his, inhaling sharply and nodding against him.
