Outside, the city lights flickered through the rain, spilling shards of gold and silver across his sharp cheekbones. Making him look every inch the cruel, yet hauntingly beautiful man that he is. An unforgiving beauty carved by his obsession.
His kiss deepened, mouth crashing against mine with a hungry ferocity, biting and devouring. His hands gripped my jaw hard, tilting my head back, dragging me closer until I was flushed against his chest. Swallowed whole by him.
My fingers clenched weakly at his wrists, trembling beneath his ruthless hold as I surrendered to the electric heat of his touch. He pinned me against the wall by the window, the cracked plaster drawing a gasp out of me, before he continued kissing me again.
His hand slid down my body, slow and deliberate, until it curled possessively over my hips. His fingers dug in, pulling me tighter against him.
