Adrian felt her palms push hard against his chest again.
She was still fighting him, refusing to give in. Her jaw was tight with that stubborn pride he knew so well.
But Adrian had no plan to step back. Instead, he shifted his weight and turned her around, pushing her backward until her lower back meet with the edge of the piano.
A messy, out of tune sound rang through the empty hall. Before she could pull away, he stepped fully into her space, pressing his body against hers and pinning her against the piano.
The sudden, firm pressure of his hips against her thighs made her words stop in her throat. Whatever sharp thing she was about to say again disappeared.
Adrian felt her go completely still under his hands. Her palms rested flat on his chest as she realized exactly what was happening between them. He hadn't meant for his control to break like this, but being this close left no room to hide it.
She didn't look away. Her eyes stayed silently locked on his.
