Excerpt:
Suddenly he’s on his feet again and his hands are in my hair as he crushes his lips on mine.
Holy shit. I can’t breathe. I can’t think. Blazing euphoria shoots from the top of my head to the tip of my toes as I melt into the kiss. The kiss is desperate, I don't know if it's my desperation or his. But it scares the shit out of me; I've never been kissed this hungrily before. This man kissing me isn't the impassive, composed Gabriel I know. This one is a beast of a man, aggressively taking what he wants without asking.
"I want you beneath me. I want you." He enunciates each word between wet possessive kisses as if he is laying his claim on me.
Gabriel’s tongue explores my mouth greedily, his lips covering mine. His fingers prowl my hair, my nape, my neck, then down to my bare shoulders.
He kisses me as if he is a man dying of thirst, and I am water. He nibbles at my earlobe and chin, licking my cheeks, biting my neck. I'm falling, breathless, lost in pleasure I never imagined.
