Ruthless Mate

As she sensed his warm tongue tracing the delicate juncture of her neck and shoulder, a soft gasp escaped her lips. Her heart raced, and her entire body reacted with a mixture of tremors, her chin shaking and body quivering. Electric currents coursed through her veins as his gentle kisses trailed along her neck, leaving her feeling vulnerable and nervous within his embrace. "You're so sweet," he murmured, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine. When his nose grazed her jawline and he absorbed her fragrance, her tension escalated. Trapped between his strong, muscular chest, she was enveloped by the intensity of his presence. His large, veined hands, powerful arms around her waist, and those tempting lips left her breathless. "Your scent...it's incredibly captivating," he growled, his voice vibrating deep within his chest. "S...stop, please," she stammered, trying to regain control. "Hush..." His calloused thumb gently brushed her lips, silencing her request.
