As his dark head dipped with deliberate slowness, the heat of his breath ghosted across her skin before his stubbled cheek and the bridge of his nose nuzzled against her soft, heated cheeks, which were flushing an even deeper rose under his intimate attention.
The roughness of his jaw created delicious friction as he pressed closer, letting his nose trace the high curve of her cheekbone while his cheek dragged slowly along hers. He lingered there, skin to skin, savoring the way her blush deepened and spread down her throat as she tilted her face into his touch, unconsciously seeking more of the intoxicating contact that sent electric shivers cascading through her entire body.
Then he shifted, bringing his forehead to rest against hers, their breaths mingling in the heated space between them. His nose found hers in a tender, playful nuzzle that made her heart skip, the intimate gesture somehow more devastating than any kiss.
