Damien’s lips crashed against hers.
The kiss was hard, sudden, and full of everything he had been holding back. Lila’s eyes widened in shock.
She tried to pull away, but his hand was still holding her chin. Her heart slammed against her ribs.

She should have fought him. She should have turned her head away.
But for a second, just a second, her body froze. The kiss wasn’t gentle. It was hungry. Possessive. Like he was claiming something he had been fighting not to take.
Lila made a small, scared sound against his mouth.
Her good hand came up and pushed weakly against his chest. Damien didn’t let go.
His lips moved against hers
