He swept the suitcase to the floor with his free arm, sending her clothes flying everywhere."Julian!" "Shannon!"Shannon could only gasp as his strong arms picked her up and threw her bodily across the bed. She rolled to one side but he pinned her shoulders down with his hands. "Julian!""Sorry, you asked for it." He kissed her throat, tickling the base of her neck with his breath.

"That's a good girl," he whispered in her ear.
