Natalie Niles felt a tickling sensation on her ear from his warm breath, and before she could scratch it, he kissed her.
The itch was gone, replaced by a warmth that spread.
Connor spent a long time wiping her body clean, dressed her in his oversized shirt, and carried her to the balcony to bask in the sun.
He sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her, holding a book in the other hand, reading little stories to her to pass the time.
She couldn't see anything, so he became her eyes.
Connor's voice was deep and calm, carrying a soothing power that made Natalie Niles instinctively lean gently into him.
Without her sight, her sense of hearing and smell became exceptionally sharp.
His voice was very pleasant, and he carried a faint scent of Safeguard soap, a fragrance she found slightly addictive.
She wanted to wrap her arms around his waist again.
