"Xade," I whispered his nin a shaky voice, fingers clutching his shoulders, digging into his skin to try to suppress my shudder.
His head is now on my chest, where my heart beat so rapidly. I know for sure he could hear the organ beat for him. I can't help it, as I stare at his head, his messy curls, I can't help but to run my hand through it.
He lets out a sound that seems so similar to a purr and I bit the inside of my cheek to not giggle at how adorable he just sounded just now.
