Chapter 44 "Make Me" (2)

But before she could find the right words to explain herself, Lucas silenced her with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Forget it," he said, his tone final. "There's no going back. I already heard it, and I've already made up my mind."
In one swift motion, Lucas pulled Harriet closer, his lips crashing against hers with an intensity that left her weak in the knees. Unlike Harriet's tender kiss, his was wild, untamed. It was a kiss that spoke of longing and pent-up desire, a kiss that left no doubt about the intensity of his emotions.
As their lips danced in a passionate embrace, Harriet couldn't help but moan, her body responding to Lucas's every touch. He nibbled on her lower lip, teasing her tongue with his own, sending shivers down her spine. He explored every inch of her mouth, igniting a fire within her that threatened to consume them both.
