Nicholas' abrupt change in demeanor startled me. His fierce, aggressive approach left me frozen.

The moment his lips touched mine, a strange dizziness overtook me. My mind buzzed into a blank hum.

He cupped my face in both hands, his forehead resting lightly against mine as he panted softly. "When will finally get you to open that mouth of yours?"
