His touch leaves trails of fire burning in her skin, the stinging ache of a thousand knife edges, slicing her open to the bone. It's as much the feel of his fingertips and his palms exploring her skin as it is the hunger in his voice, the savage and now, heart-breaking gentle intensity of his kiss.

This body is younger, more toned, supple skin and strong muscle. But this, this is something she never expected. Her heels curl down the back of his thighs, and she arches off the bed, trying to get next to him. There's air between them, and even with his fingers slipping into her, it's not enough. She echoes that moan back to him, louder, and her hips rise.

Her hands fist in his hair and she breaks the kiss with a strangled gasp. She rests her forehead against his, a shuddering soft cry twisting up from deep inside her chest.

Her voice is a ragged whisper. "Fuck me, Ramon. Fuck me now."
