"Lilith!" Alexander groaned, his voice hoarse and heavy with restraint. "We can't," he said, his hands firmly gripping her waist as if trying to Control himself.
Lilith raised her brows, her lips curling into a small, amused smile. "Can't or won't?" she challenged, her tone teasing as she leaned forward again, her hair cascading down and brushing against his face.
Before she could make another move, he pulled her close, wrapping his strong arms tightly around her. "Enough," he murmured, pressing her face gently into his chest, holding her so she couldn't move or kiss him again. His heart was pounding hard against her cheek, betraying the storm brewing within him.
"Why are you stopping me now?" Lilith asked, her voice muffled against his chest but filled with curiosity and amusement.
