Without Pain!

Stunned words did not do justice with Alric. As if someone had pressed a pause button and he could not think anymore.

He stared at Nora as if he was watching her for the first time. Yet his heart raced. His body started to develop a mind on his own and before he knew it, he leaned to kiss her.

The kiss was hungry and sloppy. He wanted to devour her at once. He bit her lips hard and started to lick the wound he had created. Alric's kiss was raw and demanding, as though he was trying to claim every part of her at that moment. Nora gasped at the intensity, her hands instinctively gripping his damp shoulders. His touch was fire, igniting every nerve in her body as he deepened the kiss, his lips pressing hers harder, hungrier.

"Alric…" she murmured against his lips, her voice trembling, but not with fear.
