Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love

Chapter 1 I Am Getting Married

Corynn Harper let out a moan as her nails bit into the skin of Elliot Andrews‘ back. Her body was drenched in sweat, as if she had just got out of a bath.

Her parted lips found the curve of Elliot’s shoulder as the crescendo approached. She bit down, her eyes fluttering as her hips bucked against his. A moment later, she loosened her grip and fell back on the bed, her eyes closed, her breathing slow and deep.
