How dare you?

Before even Arwen could react, Aiden's lips captured hers, pushing her back on the mattress. This time there was no hesitation, no restraint. His kisses trailed down her neck, his hands exploring her with reverence that left her trembling beneath him. 

Arwen might have hesitated for a moment, but all her doubts melted away when Aiden's hand slipped around her waist, pulling her closer as his lips found a sensitive spot just below her ear. 

Though his every touch gave her a burning sensation, she couldn't help the shiver she felt down her spine every time she felt his breath near her ears. She hadn't realized the full extent of the power he held over her until now. The way he kissed her, touched her, made her feel —left her completely undone. 

Matching his intensity, she responded to his kisses with equal fervor. Her hands slipped beneath his shirt to feel the warmth of his skin. The sensation sent a thrill through her, once again making her bolder.
