“I take it back. You can lick anything you want.” The words rushed from his lips on wings of a a smile just as they found hers. The first time he kissed her, it was soft and caring. It was being adrift on the peaceful sea and never wanting to find the reality of shore again. He’d been honorable and careful of her signals in return, not because of the formality of the ball, but because he pulled every move he had to impress her. This time, all that shit went straight out the window.
His heart was beating so hard she must have felt it when he pulled her in tight. His hands went straight to her back, up her spine, and tangled through her hair. The scarlet of her dress may have well been his heart bleeding out, and if it was, he would go a happy guy. Instead, he ripped at that zipper as fast as he could, and it still wasn’t fast enough. They moved together as one, though he had no idea where he was going. Hell he would pick her up and use the kitchen counter if he had any semblance of awareness left. But all that cool logic evaporated in the heat between them. When she helped tug off his shirt, they locked eyes just a fraction of a second before he swallowed back the last tingle of nerves and wrapped his arms around the only thing he cared about left in the world.

Only darkness shows you the light.
