Chapter Preview:She found him looking back, smiling back at her with the same starry eyes look he had that first night and by the Gods it did to her now exactly what it had then. Running her hands over his chest she placed them on the sides of his face and began covering every inch of his skin in kisses. It would never be enough, she knew, to truly kiss away all of the evil that this beautiful man had suffered through, to kiss him better, but she would try. He deserved that ten fold.
