‘It’s gone two in the morning,’ she said breathlessly. ‘You shouldn’t be here.’

‘No, I shouldn’t.’

He bent towards her and she did nothing to avoid him. One hand closed around her wrist, drawing her into him, and the other pressed into the small of her back, urging her still closer. Marianne felt she couldn’t breathe as she waited for him to kiss her.

It cut through any defences like a knife through butter, and she found herself wanting more as she pressed into him in a manner which would have shocked her only seconds before.

‘This is crazy.’ His voice was husky against her mouth, and suddenly the tempo of the kiss changed, his lips becoming more demanding as he sensed her response. ‘Madness…’

She agreed with him—but was powerless to move away.
