I snatched the parsley out of her hand and threw it down. “If I want to kiss you, I don’t need some old-fashioned custom to entice me.”
Telling her I’d wanted to kiss her since our time in the dungeon wasn’t going to happen—becausethiswasn’t going to happen.
My ability to resist the darkest temptations was legendary.
“Just a bit of fun,” she whispered.
“I don’t do fun,” I growled.
“Then you should try it.”
“Not sure you can handle me,” I teased.
“I can handle anyone.”
My hands rose up and cupped her face.
God, how I wanted to taste her, press my lips to hers and have her mouth widen in response to mine.
A spark of electricity marked the moment with a secret language, an unknown sensation rippling through me. This woman was a force of nature.
My lust for her felt darker than any truth.
I leaned down and crushed my lips to hers, kissing her hard and fast. It felt like the most natural thing in the world, my tongue searching her mouth and lavishing affection—silently sharing my secrets.
Time left us alone.
Perfect and raw and real, our chemistry was impossible to deny.
No matter how I tried, I couldn’t find an answer or any good reason to stop this from happening.
It was more about what we would do afterwards.
How we would move forward after a kisslike this.
I nipped her lip as I considered my options.
She moaned in response.
Maybe I should kiss her throat and ease back a little, break this spellbinding experience.
Only, it felt so damn good.
I couldn’t recall the last time I’d felt anything quite like this. Our intimacy was equal to that first breath taken after surfacing from a deep dive in the ocean.
Had I been good friends with Lotte before my capture, it would have been so much more bearable, because I sensed her even when we were separated.
Our bodies harmoniously swayed together, my heart oscillating between exhilaration and fulfillment. She moaned against my mouth again, opening hers wider and inviting me to continue this unmatched affinity.
What was I doing?
I headed up one of the most successful businesses in the world.
Yet deep down I knew this was an insatiable desire that was completely unquenchable. This woman was exquisite in every conceivable way.
Breaking away from this, from her, felt impossible.
If it took an earthquake to get us here, it would take a seismic shift to tear us apart.
