Her breath hitched, shallow and uneven, as their lips met in a kiss that seared through her like wildfire. She clung to his nape, fingers threading through his hair as he pulled her closer, pressing her body against his. Their tongues tangled in a fierce, hungry rhythm, tasting, claiming, as if they had starved for this moment.
She gasped, letting her fingers dig into his scalp, the sensation sending jolts through her body. Air was scarce, her lungs aching, but she didn't care—she wanted this, craved this, and every heartbeat screamed it.
Their eyes met in the brief pause, and the world around them seemed to dissolve. His hazel gaze held a storm of desire, dangerous and irresistible. Her cheeks flamed red, not just from the kiss, but from the way his eyes seemed to look right through her, unraveling her piece by piece. She tried to look away, but she couldn't. She was trapped in the depth of his stare, drunk on the intensity of it.
