• He took the wine glass gently from her fingers and set it back on the table. As he straightened, he pulled her tight against his chest.
• Maddy sucked in a breath as she came against him. One hard arm was wrapped around her and it kept her snugly against his very well-muscled body—it made her feel feminine and delicate. She searched his dark eyes and felt her own grow heavier in reaction to what she saw.

She expected another gentle kiss, but instead his lips barely touched hers and then he plunged roughly into a kiss that demanded she yield to him. Maddy felt dizzy with the sudden heat crashing through her. Never had a kiss excited her so quickly before. She gasped as his mouth moved urgently down her neck as if he was starving and only she could fill him. She moaned when his lips found a sensitive spot on her throat.
