Enchanted Hearts
Belinda Boring
“I wonder what you taste like, sweet Aithne. That question has tortured me.”
A butterfly commotion rose in my stomach as the flittering turned my insides into a riot of nerves. He was going to give me my first-ever kiss. My hands rested on my stomach fortifying my resolve as his hands gripped the side of my arms. His thumbs moved in soft circles and caused a faintness to come over me.
Hadrian was so close, his breath fanning lightly over my skin. I watched his descending mouth—his lips. I was a storm of emotions—sensations—as the anticipation grew.
As he pulled me closer I held onto his shirt front and offered a silent plea that my knees wouldn’t fail me. His lips were a mere fraction from mine. All I needed to do was creep up on my tiptoes, and the moment would be complete.
We lingered there, the sound of our breath mingling as our eyes locked. He shifted slightly, and traced a delicate pattern across my cheekbone. “I shouldn’t.” His other arm encircled my waist. “But how can I not?”

Deena, Stacie, Raine, Angel, Kelsie, Lacey, Melina, Melissa.
I have some amazing cheerleaders. Whether it was listening to me swoon over the characters, offering ideas when I was stumped, or reading chapters to tell me what they thought, I’m so grateful for those I know I can always turn to. Thank you for the support, for your faith, and most of all the much needed “What are you doing on Facebook? GET OFF!” I appreciate you all so much.
A big thank you to my editor, Irene. What can I say . . . I’m the Queen of Prepositions and the Mistress of Gaze. You helped me polish my story and survived! Thanks for your patience and don’t forget . . . you owe me a tiara! Hahaha
And a special thank you to my husband, Mark—for standing in the middle of the store so I could tell you what I’d been writing, taking me on drives to clear my head, and not complaining at 3am when I woke you up to cry over characters. I love you!
