Chapter 18

• I tilt my head back and laugh. He was holding me from my lower back, and I allowed my body to press and rest up against him, feeling his chest rise and fall with mine. I tilted my head up to his face and stopped when our noses touched. I smiled briefly from our game of seduction.
• "Kiss me," he orders, low and deep and seductive. He didn't need to tell me twice. I reached up onto my tippy toes to close the last bit of distance between us. The first kiss was light and delicate, just how I wanted it to be, but somehow the air between us shifted and the electricity charged. He began to devour me in his kiss. I opened my mouth up wider allowing his tongue to caress my own, possessing my mouth, body and soul and I craved it. I craved more. The heat in my stomach begins to rise and I hum my appreciation.
• When we pull apart, we are both breathing heavily, trying to catch our breaths.
