Luciana's eyes widened in disbelief when Nicholas's lips crashed onto hers. Her heart drummed in her chest, pounding with the awareness of what was happening. She was caught in a whirlwind of emotions as his cold lips pressed against hers. Nicholas saw her startled expression, and he couldn't resist the urge to tease—he gently bit her lips, seeking entry.
Luciana wanted to call him a dog for biting her, but before she could pry her lips open to tell him her mind, he had already used the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth.
It was a domineering kiss that took her breath away, but at the same time, she felt like it was a punishment. Her lips felt painful, and she wanted to pull away from him, but suddenly his pace changed, and then, as if he wanted to soothe the pain he had initially caused, he began to gently suck on her lips as his tongue danced through her mouth with an intoxicating thrill, causing her to melt against him.
