She tightened her grip, toppling him over to lie heavily against her as his mouth roughly covered hers, seeking the smoldering heat he knew waited beneath her surface. His tongue evoked an involuntary response from her, as he ravaged all resistance. Her senses reeled as she was taken by surprise at the intensity of feelings that overwhelmed her.
