“And what’s that?”
“You.” She smiled. “Kiss me, Dalton.”

He wanted her and she wanted him, so Bellah opened for him, darting her tongue forward to dance with his. He withdrew and plunged, nibbled and devoured, until they were breathless.
He swept her up in his arms, his muscles bulging as he held her. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her back to his bedroom. He didn’t stop until they were at his bed and he tumbled her onto the mattress, coming down on top of her.
“If you want to change your mind,” he said in a thick, guttural voice, “this is it.”
“I’m not going to change my mind,” she said.
