@MadisonWoods2 #Page99 Test – Let me see yours: http://wp.me/pj6xM-gZ

His voice lowered to a hoarse whisper. “Whatever your agenda, you have won. I cannot stand the torment any longer. Give me what I ask of you and you may have whatever you want of me in return.”

Ella’s tongue swept across her lower lip. “A…a fair bargain.”

Bennett snatched her against him. His hands plunged into her upswept hair, his mouth crushed on hers. She relaxed his embrace, enfolded her arms around his neck. Her hot, eager mouth opened to him.

He thrust his tongue inside her warmth and trembled when she matched his caress. She tasted of sweet wine and keen desire.

Devour.

Bennett could consume every cell of Ella and still not be satisfied. Once free of its confines, his hunger now roared. Blood surged, blazing and delirious.

He explored the warm margins of her mouth then demanded she discover his. She responded without hesitation, gave to him just as he’d asked. Her tongue delved between his lips and sought a most basic truth.

A truth he could not give.

Bennett swept from her mouth to her neck. He nibbled the silken skin, listened to her throaty whimpers. Large earrings blocked his path, so he gently slipped them off and tucked them in a pocket.

“Ella…” the word rolled off his tongue and into her earlobe. She shivered against him and then gave a most desperate sigh.
