Chapter 45 At His Mercy

• Without waiting for a response, Damien's lips captured hers possessively, his hand tangling in her hair as he pulled her closer. His tongue slid against hers, and Meredith's heart hammered in her chest as she melted beneath him.
• Damien's free hand slid down her back, tracing the curve of her spine before gripping her waist. The scorching heat of his skin ignited her senses, and she clung to him, her fingers digging into his shoulders as their kiss deepened.
• He broke the kiss briefly, his lips trailing down her neck. Meredith gasped, her head tilting back to give him better access. Damien growled low in his throat, the sound vibrating against her skin as he bit down gently on her neck, leaving a faint mark.
