"I know how much you hurt inside," she tells me. "I see it in your face, your eyes." She places her hand over my heart. "Right now I see the real you, Derek. The one you try to hide."
She doesn't know the half of it. Her words sink in. I've never felt this way, but then again I've never been with a girl like Ashtyn.
I kiss her, the soft fullness of her lips sending bolts of electricity throughout my entire body. Her leg wraps around me and I trace the contour of her hip with the tips of my fingers. When she purrs at my touch and arches her body against mine, I feel myself losing control.

I loved this scene which was both sweet and becomes passionate. Derek tries so hard to be a bad boy character, but deep down he's actually really sweet.

So what's making you swoon this week?

    Nice swoon. Derek sounds like a guy with a sensitive side.
