The kiss hit fierce and desperate, burning with barely controlled hunger. Maya had been sleeping peacefully when suffocating pressure jolted her awake. Strange scents filled her nose as her eyes snapped open, locking onto dark red ones. Caleb's eyes. But the usual ice was gone, replaced by wild heat that looked ready to consume her. Maya's mind went blank. Then embarrassment and rage slammed into her. She hauled back and slapped him hard across the face. The c***k echoed through the cave. Caleb's head whipped sideways, a red handprint blooming on his cheek. The pressure on her mouth finally eased. Maya scrambled back, chest heaving. She opened her mouth to let him have it when Caleb slowly turned back. The wildness in his eyes had dimmed, replaced by mortified awareness.
