Ford continued to hold her thighs, gently pushing her back until she was standing over the makeshift bed he had created with their clothes and the hay. She sat gratefully, her legs useless, her lungs tight. He crawled over her, crowding her with his musky skin, his taut muscles, his lips and tongue that tasted of her juices when he claimed her mouth.
