"Something in his body altered subtly at my response. It wasn't his pulse, since he didn't have much of a pulse. Instead there was a sound - a catch in his throat that sent a shock of desire through me. The resulting changes in my body were neither slight nore subtle. My bones turned to fire, and my hands crept down his back and slid lower. He floated his hand down to cup my left breast, stroking the fabric over the sensitive skin between my arm and my heart. With is other hand at my waist, he pulled me more tightly against him."
