Cate could only close her eyes and surrender to the kiss that was not from her husband.
Ross's lips moved hungrily against hers, demanding, devouring. His hands roamed over her body, igniting a fire in her veins that she hadn't felt in years.
The heat of his touch, the way his tongue danced with hers—it sent waves of pleasure rolling through her, making her head spin.
"Mmm…" she moaned softly, her body pressing against his as she responded with equal fervor. It felt forbidden, exhilarating, dangerously intoxicating.
Then, just as she was losing herself in the moment, Ross pulled back. Before she could catch her breath, he did something unexpected.
"Hahhh…" Cate gasped as strong arms swept her off her feet. Her body tensed in surprise, but Ross held her effortlessly, carrying her to the bed like a princess.
Her breath hitched as she clung to his shoulders, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
