Chapter 27

They stared at the sky some more until Twillow started humming a tune she remembered about stars and gradually it built into quiet singing. As she sang she noticed Kendrick's breathing slowed beneath her. She held a note in the song and suddenly his chest seemed to shudder beneath her.

She stopped singing and glanced at the huge arms draped across his stomach. The distinct raised texture of goose flesh covered them. She'd given him chills with her singing. He'd said her singing was beautiful before, but seeing the physical effect it had on him was the greatest compliment she'd ever received about her singing.

"Please, don't stop yet." He requested in almost a whisper.

Twillow smiled and continued her song, even delving into a second one just for him. When she stopped he gave a contented sigh. The deep motion of his exhale made Twillow slide down off of his chest and into the space between his stomach and ribs. It was actually much more comfortable than the firmer surface of his chest.
