The kiss was sudden and filled with desperation.

Emma's hands shook and clung to Jaden's shirt.

Her lips, soft and broken, pressed against his with an eager need to drown the ache in her heart. She lost herself in the warmth and safety he offered.

His hands cupped her face, pulling her close, wanting more, craving even more.

Her lips trembled, and a low moan escaped her, igniting a fire within him that he could hardly control.

He felt his resolve weakening as his tongue pushed into her mouth.

She tasted like strawberry and alcohol. Her breathing was unrhythmical.

But in an instant, reality crashed onto Jaden. His breath caught, and he suddenly pulled back, his forehead resting against hers while he fought to control himself.
