"No need to be afraid.. I'm not going to hurt you, Eirawen. I couldn't bring myself to do that. But unless you pull away from me, this<i>will</i>continue," Maddox whispered into her ear, breath hot on the delicate shell of flesh and bone. He gave her lobe another nip of his teeth, before he gave the same to her neck, slowly kissing along it, his hand drifting from one of her breasts to take hold of her chin. And assuming she gave no further interruptions, his lips would press against hers. Soft. Gentle. The kiss of a lover.
