"I'm going to corrupt your skin. Taste every inch of it." He closed the distance between us. I gasped, heart pounding faster with every breath. "Draco..." I whispered, breathless. He grunted low. "My cock throbs when you say my name like that." His fingertips traced a slow, deliberate line down to my lips. "We shouldn't..." "Shhh..."
