The heat between us ignited the moment our lips crashed together. I smashed mine into his with desperate hunger—just raw need that had been simmering for too long. Kasteil responded instantly, his large hands sliding up my back, fingers splaying wide as he pulled me flush against him. The solid wall of his chest pressed into mine, stealing what little breath I had left.
God, I had missed this. Missed him. How had I forgotten just how intoxicating kissing this man could be? His mouth moved against mine with practiced confidence—slow at first, then deeper, tongue sliding in to taste me like he was relearning every corner. A low groan rumbled from his throat, vibrating through me, and it sent a fresh wave of heat pooling low in my belly.
