章 383: I don't want to

"Do it. Undress me, touch me, kiss me, then take me. I dare you."

The world seemed to stop as Zoren held his breath, Penny's voice echoing many times in the silence. A shadow cast upon his face as he lowered his head, his hair falling down his thick brows, his eyes dark and dangerous.

"Say less," he breathed out, and without a moment's hesitation, he seized her lips in a kiss. He placed his palm on the door behind her, his other hand circling around her waist. In one swift motion, he lifted her into his arms.

Even Zoren was unsure how or where he got the strength, but he knew this couldn't happen here.

With her legs and arms wrapped around him, their lips tangled and unwilling to let go, he carried her to the nearest couch.

Laying her down slowly, he leaned back slightly while unbuttoning his shirt. One foot stayed firmly on the floor, his other knee between her legs. A sense of urgency rushed through his veins, as if he was running out of time.
