Before he can set me down, I pull his face to mine and kiss him fiercely. The return kiss I receive is just a little bit fiercer. He fights for dominance in the kiss. I break away so I can be set on my feet and the slight realization, of what is going to happen, makes me suddenly shy.

I turn and walk towards the beds but Joseph grabs my left wrist and gently twirls me to face him. He looks as nervous as I feel as he brushes a strand of hair off my face. He slides both hands down the sides of my face as he leans down to kiss me. He touches his lips softly to mine before he moves his lips slowly down my jaw line. His lips trail up to the soft spot behind my ear and my shyness quickly evaporates as a fierce desire fills its place.
