Excerpt:She moaned and arched her back against him, pressing herself into his hand more, granting permission. His breathing grew quite ragged as she urged him to fondle her more, continuing to wriggle against him and sighing encouragingly. They were both consumed in the kiss, which was now more fiery than sweet."If I thought you were strong enough, " he murmured, "I'd throw you on the ground and take you right now."Her eyes popped open.
"Strong enough? What? Do you think I'm weak?" She snapped her head back, cracking her skull sharp against his nose. His grip let up as he yelped loudly.
