Lucien stayed with his hands on her shoulders. "I want to take my time with you, Lev," his voice was low and husky, amping the need desperately clawing at her skin. "I don't want a one-time kiss in the dark with you."
Lucien sucked in a deep breath and backed away from her. He had exerted more restraint in resisting the charm of Levina's full lips than he ever thought was possible. He had never wanted someone as badly as he wanted her. But he knew he couldn't do any of the things he had in mind for Levina, at least not like this. She deserved better than that.
