SAGE Killian’s kisses became hotter as his fingers entangled in my hair, and I felt like I was melting in his hands even though it was not physically possible due to his element. Who knew that three words could change him this way. Then again, those were three very important words, and every time he muttered them to me, as he made breaks for us to gulp some air desperately, my heart fluttered. “Love you… Sage,” he glided his tongue freely in my mouth, then bit my lower lip, tugging it softly, “My mate... mine!” “What’s a mate?” I breathed out, and he stopped, looking at me in shock. “You don’t know?” His lips parted as he studied my face with some kind of amusement. “Well, in my previous world, I lived in the United Kingdom, and everyone was calling each other mates,” I chuckled.
