“Because I care about you, too.” Before the last word was even off his tongue, she crushed her lips to his. Desperation exploded inside of her, and she threaded her fingers into his hair. He didn’t hold back, swiping his tongue along her crease, begging for more. She simply couldn’t deny him, parting her mouth and letting him deepen the kiss. A hungry need to feel him inside her took control, leaving her dizzy and drunk on desire. She grabbed for his shirt, fumbling with the buttons one by one until he slipped it off his arms and let it pool on the floor. Before she could take advantage and run her hands along the taut muscles of his chest, his fingers dug into the round curves of her a*s and hoisted her onto him. She locked her legs around his waist, her back pressing against the door.
