Never fear my touch, Ry,” he said. “I will love you with everything I am.

Dagger smiled down at him and tipped his hips forward, then started to hum softly the melody to the Black Ice classic, “Everything I Am.” He dropped down to his elbows, pressed his chest to Ryan’s, and left a gentle kiss on his lips.
