The sun filtered through the canopy like it didn't know this wasn't paradise. The massive leaves from prehistoric plants providing us with enough privacy that I didn't have to worry about anyone intruding.
The sound of birds echoed from somewhere in the jungle, but it sounded distant—muted. The only thing that felt real was the heat of Tank's body pressed against mine, the way his breath came in short, tight exhales near my temple, and the low growl vibrating from his chest as his hands curled around my waist.
Spinning me around, he slipped away from the moat and into the jungle. My mug clattered to the mossy ground, spilling sweetened coffee into the dirt as I was kidnapped away, but I didn't even care.
"And just what do you have planned for me?" I murmured, but my voice was already breathless. "Taking me into the jungle like this, someone might think you have bad intentions."
