You understand me? I want you. I know there’s plenty of women out there that I could have, and I’m here with you.”Poppy’s lips parted in shock, and before she could say a word, he’d plunged his mouth onto hers, hot and hungry.

She responded by tilting her head back, sucking on him hungrily, her tongue meeting his.She imagined his mouth moving lower, lower…tracing kisses down her body, suckling her breasts, trailing his lips over her stomach…
