Before Effie could react, his lips were already on hers, stealing her breath, swallowing any protest she might have made.

She sank into the soft mattress, trying to sit up, but Lyman was already over her, his gaze sweeping down at her flushed cheeks.

She looked as delicate and radiant as a camellia in early spring, blooming just for him.
