"You called me a coward earlier, remember?" He asked, his other hand wrapped around my throat and lips torturingly brushing over mine "So let's see how much you can handle if I break the boundaries."

But everything went silent as he pressed his hot lips upon mine just as I had been wanting since the first day I had ever seen him.
