"Steffan…" she whispered again in a breathless voice filled with need as she gripped his shoulders and pulled him closer.
She had never wanted Steffan the way she did right now and was ready to give herself to him right here and now.
Steffan's lips returned to hers, the kiss urgent and full of the longing that had built up during their time apart.
His hands caressed her, pulling her even closer, as if he couldn't bear to let her go.
She reached out to Steffan's trousers and just as she was about to unbuckle his belt, a soft knock sounded at the door.
They froze and for a moment, neither of them moved, and their ragged breath was the only sound that could be heard in the room.
They exchanged a glance... they were both caught between the frustration of being interrupted and the amusement of how absurd the timing was.
"Did you hear that?" Lauren whispered.
