Dipping my head, I brought my lips down to her ear. “Make no mistake,anima mia. The next time I hear your sweet voice, it’ll be my name on your tongue.”

When a haunting melody erupted through the speakers, I pushed her away, holding onto her hand before she twirled into my arms again. Her back was warm against my chest as we swayed to the rippling sounds of a violin.

Her eyes were closed when I turned her to face me again, her expression mirroring pure bliss as if she were elsewhere.

Feeling her take control of our movements, I let her go and stood back as she danced to the tune of the music. Twirling and twisting, catching the eyes of everyone around.

The dance floor emptied till she was the only one left.

A smile broke out on her face as she swayed to the music, and I found myself capturing it and engraving it in my memory.

The somber beat picked up, as did her feet. Her arms moved above her head as she spun, faster and faster.

The burgundy gown swirled around her enchantingly as her pinned hair loosened its hold, cascading around her in waves.

A steady ache grew between my ribs the more I watched her and my need to claim her in some way, potent.

The beat slowed and ended with her arms spread wide. Her back arched as her smile widened.

An applause broke around the room, startling her and her eyes snapped open. She straightened herself as embarrassment colored her cheeks at the unexpected attention.

Her gaze searched the room before it fell on me and the panic lining her widened eyes had me crossing the dance floor to reach her.

I grabbed her hand, feeling her struggle against me. My grip tightened, walking in the direction of the stairs.

A soft laugh escaped me. Even now, she was too stubborn to speak—to tell me to stop.

Aurora shuffled behind me as she tried to keep up with my long strides.

I took the stairs two at a time before walking down the long hall and opening the door to the library.

Once the door shut, I wasted no time pushing her against it. Her eyes widened a fraction as I held her hands above her head and sealed our lips together, kissing her long and hard.

My tongue swept across the seam of her lips, demanding entry. To my surprise, her tongue darted out, gliding against my own. A hum of approval vibrated between us as heat rushed to my hardening cock, straining painfully against my pants.

Breaking apart, my eyes searched her lust-filled ones, gauging her reaction. With her red lipstick now smeared and her loose curls, she appeared wanton, ready to be tamed.

I grabbed the back of her thighs, lifting her up before wrapping her slender legs around my waist.

Her head tipped up against the door, giving me access to her delicate neck. I sucked on the soft flesh, moving down to the tops of her perky breasts, biting, nipping, and kissing.

She was maddeningly perfect.

A moan escaped her when I ground my hips against her, feeling the heat between her thighs.

“Look at me.” She did and I kissed her, again. Once. Twice. “I want to taste you, baby.”

When she didn’t answer, I thrust against her harder, causing her to cry out.

Her nails dug into my shoulders as I continued grinding myself into her perfect body.

My cock pulsed, hot, and heavy and I knew if I didn’t stop, I’d come like this. Only she was capable of that.

I let go of her right leg, letting it rest on the floor. Using the tips of my fingers, I caressed the top of her thigh in light strokes.

She bit down on her bottom lip at the sensation of my rough fingers taunting her smooth skin.

Her breathing grew uneven as I inched closer to her cunt, her arousal seeping down her legs.
