I desperately wanted her to turn around, to see the woman who had enticed my senses and made my pants suddenly uncomfortable. She was completely oblivious to the struggle I was having behind her. Eli grabbed my arm as I fought the urge to touch her, my eyes snapping to him standing on the other side of her. She had no idea that her world was about to be turned upside down because she would not escape us. No, this woman would be ours whether she likes it or not. My hand moved on its own as I fought the urge to claim her. She yumped when my hand came in contact with her soft, delicate skin. I felt like I was in a trance as | ran my hand up her side, sparks rushing over my palm before she jerked away from my touch, a shriek leaving her plump lips. I know she could feel it.
