• I bit down on his wrist, the taste of salt and skin sharp on my tongue. He hissed, his face contorting, but his grip on me didn't falter. His other hand shot up, fingers digging into my jaw, tilting my head back. Before I could react, his lips were on mine, fierce and unrelenting.
• I fought him, teeth clenched, body stiff as a board. But then his fingers pressed into my side, sharp and sudden, and I gasped. His tongue swept into my mouth, stealing my breath, and leaving me lightheaded and disoriented.
