A scream escaped her lips as her body suddenly lost balance, pitching her backward.
Ryan Gregory quickly reached out, wrapping an arm securely around her waist just in time to catch her, preventing her from hitting the ground hard.
Sofia Hamilton's back arched as her hair fell in soft cascades, her blouse's neckline pulling open slightly from the movement, revealing a glimpse of the beauty concealed within, easily caught by Ryan's gaze.

Ryan only had to glance downward to take in the tantalizing sight peeking from her blouse.
His eyes darkened, and his breaths turned uneven.
