"Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you."
"Hey." He wrapped his arms around her. "No big deal. And it's my pleasure."
He tilted her head and lowered his mouth to hers. The kiss began slowly, just meant to be soothing and reassuring. To ease the tension he could feel running through her body like a high-voltage wire. But the moment she slid her hands up to thread her fingers in his hair and pulled him closer, all gentleness fled and he ground his mouth against hers.
Her breasts pressed to his chest, the nipples such hard points he could feel them even through her sweater and his shirt. The kiss went from tender to greedy to ruthless in less than sixty seconds. He wanted to lick every sweet inch of her, absorb her into his system.
Jesus!
What was happening to him?
