Angelique loved that slow burn of desire in Kersen's eyes as she undressed. The way he looked at her stoked a heat in her own skin, warming to his touch. "I will," she promised, voice lowering and not as gently modulated now. It was like shedding her skin for him, showing him something true about herself. Angelique supposed Kersen was about to do the same.

"I trust you," she added, unconsciously tilting her head back for him.
