Her closed eyes snapped open, and she was met with his smoldering dark gaze, her eyelids slowly slid closed once more as he continued to devour her.

'Embrace me in your mind, just as you have in your body and heart.'

She shook her head, but his hands pressed against her cheek, limiting her ability to move her neck the way she desired.
