Samantha had wanted one night, one experiment, one controlled moment she could walk away from unchanged. But Atticus Thorin had just shattered every assumption she carried about pleasure, leaving her raw, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do with the emotions flooding in afterward.
“Samantha, you’re okay. I promise. The orgasmic cocktail of oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin is just messing with your emotions.” He kissed my shoulder. With a soft chuckle, and added, “I knew you just needed the right man to please you. God, you’re so f***ing amazing.”
~Samantha Sheridan, Night Shift
