He gripped my jaw gently, forcing me to look up into the absolute dark storm raging in his eyes. "Because if I start, I am not stopping this time." "It is," I pleaded, all my pride completely evaporating as my hands tangled desperately into the fabric of his shirt. "Please." FIFTEEN YEARS OF SILENT LOVE.
