mouth. Maddox grunted against my lips, and his hands
went to my ass.
He hoisted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his
hips, hooking my ankles behind him. His fingers dug into
my ass, and he slammed my back into the elevator wall.
It’s okay, I got you. Feel me.
Our kiss was a battle cry, a crazed desperation, so thick
I almost cried out as his lips brutalized mine. I inhaled him;
yet, he stole the air from my lungs.
He took my soul in the palm of his hand, and I gave him
my life.
The kiss consumed us. We lost all sense of time and
place.
Maddox pushed both hands into my hair and wrapped
his fingers around the long strands. He jerked my head
back, kissing me harder.
Kiss. He was greedy. Kiss. I was angry. Kiss. He was
desperate. Kiss. I had been ravenous. Kiss. Brutal. Kiss.
Frantic.
I hate you, I exhaled into the kiss.
Maddox groaned, and he clutched the back of my neck,
his fingers flexing, as he gripped me hard. I don’t hate you,
I breathed into his lips.

elevator pinged, and the doors slid open, as we reached our
floor. Maddox dropped his forehead to mine, and our lips
parted. His chest heaved, and he inhaled a ragged breath.
My nails dragged across the nape of his neck. “It’s okay.
We’re here.”
He took a slow step out of the elevator with me still
wrapped around him. Maddox turned his back to the wall,
as the doors slid closed once again. His knees weakened,
and he slid to the ground. I was practically straddling him,
as we sat in the empty hallway of the third floor.
His demons had been silenced.
