I feel as if my heart is about to pound out of my chest as I allow the liquid to lay on my tongue for a moment.

I see sweat clinging to the base of his throat and my mouth waters again, wanting desperately to taste him. I lick my lips and his gaze sweeps to mine as he murmurs seemingly promisingly, “Just one of the many things I’m going to teach you.” If you like raw emotions, sizzling sex scenes, all while being kept on the edge of your seat, then you'll love part one of this erotic romance story of Lucas and Emma by International Bestselling Author Katherine King.
