Desperation*

Soleia didn't have much time to process Ralph's threat before he edged further toward her. She gasped in surprise, and in that moment of shock, her hand slipped out of his pants so that she could brace herself against the bed.

Without his lifeline clutched onto, Ralph moved like a predator with its sights set on its prey. His hand reached for the back of her neck, locking her in place while his tongue pushed past Soleia's lips and sought for her tongue. His other hand worked on the last of her dress before completely stripping it away from her body, leaving her bare and naked in the night, glorious as a goddess rising.
