““Are you sure that you’re feeling—” he began, but she surged forward and kissed him. She almost knocked him to the floor. But he shot out an arm to the back of the chair and braced himself as his spare arm wrapped around her middle. She let the touch, the taste of him fill the room of her mind with water.
