The two of them were lying close together on the bed, their breaths short and passionate. Keira was kissing Lance, hastily undoing his belt.

Lance responded with equal fervor, but when she softly called his name in his ear, his body suddenly stiffened. The hand that had been gripping Keira's waist loosened, and then he pulled away.
