Chapter 40

• The quiet gasps she was making as his mouth moved over her throat made him harder than he had been before. Reaching under her, he grasped the backs of her thighs, lifting her as he rose up to his knees. Her body brushing against him almost caused him to shake with a need he’d thought he’d never feel again.
• Supporting her shoulders, he leaned her back on the couch and kneeled on one knee to look down at her. The hair she’d tried to secure was falling out and framing her face in gentle black wisps. Her eyes were clouded, lips swollen.
• Reaching up she pulled the clip from her hair. She pushed herself to stretch out on the couch and reached up with a hand to pull on his shirt, bringing him back down to her. When he slowly lowered his body over hers, he could feel her heart beating as fast as his.
