Jade's heart raced at the implication of his statement. She felt both exhilarated and vulnerable, the weight of his declaration wrapping around her like a warm blanket.
Before she could respond, he reached for her, pulling her close. His lips captured hers in a heated kiss, igniting a spark that surged through her entire being.
The kiss was possessive and consuming, and Jade felt herself melting into him, as if she were a candle being drawn to the flame.
His hands roamed freely over her body, exploring every inch with deliberate intent. Clark's fingers brushed against her skin, igniting sparks wherever they traveled.
He cupped her breast, teasing her nipple, pinching and rolling it between his fingers. The sensation sent waves of pleasure through her, and she couldn't suppress the soft moan that escaped her lips.
