Excerpt from the book:

Her eyes grew wide with an intoxicating combination of fascination and uncertainty. "I..I..I..don't.."

"Very badly. So badly its unendurable." Pierce brushed Daphne's lips lightly with his. "I need to taste you. Will you let me?"

"Kiss me, Daphne," he whispered. "let me show you how safe you can be."
