With an animalistic growl, he pulls me into his arms and kisses me so hard the floor shifts underneath me.

I moan softly as his hands travel up my back until he’s gripping the back of my head.

My stomach flutters as I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him towards me. “Do it again.”

There may be hell to pay if we get caught, but if he keeps kissing me like I’m his, I really don’t give a damn.
