Kalle's beautiful lips pulled up in a smile. Gahrye was overwhelmed—so full of feeling just at the sight of her. He huffed the mating call, long and low. Her eyes widened and she pulled him into a kiss, her lips hot and seeking, her hands clawing into his back.

Unable to resist, he took her mouth like he wanted her body, his tongue invading the sweetness of her, lips dragging on hers.
