Eisen’s grin turned a little mischievous when Lexie’s voice lowered. Okay, wow. He’d never heard her talk like that before. Chuckling a little bit, he pulled his lower lip into his mouth and pulled her tight against him. “Yes. Breathing is good. Something tells me that no one could come back from not breathing that much,” he grinned, leaning down, yet again, to press his lips to hers.
And when she told him that she’d at least try to help Rory, a beaming smile crossed Eisen’s face as he lifted her into the air and twirled her. “Really?” his smile grew even more and kissed her yet again…deeper this time. “Lexie, you don’t know how much this means to me. For even trying, just…thank you. Thank you so much,” he smoothed a hand through her hair.
