His lips brushed against my skin, the usual sparks igniting between us as the air thickened, making it hard to breathe. We were now breathing heavily, anticipating the connection that was soon to come.

I opened my eyes and stared out the window, refusing to move and cover my revealed neck for him to take. "What are you waiting for?"

He shook his head, resting it against the crook of my neck and letting out a deep sigh. "I can't mark you, Rochelle."
