It felt like his tongue had been bitten , and the taste of blood filled his mouth .
â Sienna , are you part dog or something â

Her lipstick was smeared , her lips were a bit red and swollen from the kiss , and they glistened with a thin sheen of moisture under the light .
What are you doing ? Are you crazy ? â
Sheâd never expect Josiah to kiss her.
â What hat did you say ? â Josiah was stunned and squinted his eyes .
He didnât think it was crazy for him to kiss her at all .
