~{EMELDA'S POV}~

My eyes were wide and I remained still as his hold kept tightening around me but it didn't hurt rather it felt…. ok.
The heaviness was still in the air and I didn't like it because it made me feel like I was being suffocated but the moment he held me, that feeling lessened.
His strong hands moved all over my back as he kept pulling me in and inhaling my scent like he couldn't have enough and it became concerning but I still didn't panic.
He may be more powerful than me but he was a man and I, a woman. With that in mind, I carefully lifted my arms and wrapped them around his waist and tightened my hold. In doing so, I felt his body go rigid in shock.
And just like him, I took a deep whiff of his scent and commented on it. "You smell divine."
In doing so, a heavy silence settled between us and that heavy feeling in the air began to lessen and so did his hold around me.
