She squirmed only for his arms to wrap tightly around her, and her shock was overcome by his scent. Her body felt like putty as he pushed her against the kitchen island. His body pressed against hers firmly as he kissed the breath out of her.

"Liam," She moaned softly.

"Ximena?" He frowned when he managed to regain his balance.

A slap landed on his face a heartbeat before she shoved him by his chest.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" She roared, her eyes reddened.

He raised both of his hands in surrender and stepped back so he was against the wall. "Okay."

She calmed down a little and turned to saunter away. He still couldn't figure out what he had done wrong so he grabbed her arm.
