Romance Cheese Friday

This Friday's romance novel tidbit comes from Marriage, Arranged:

It seemed so right as he took her in his arms. To feel them close around her, fitting their bodies together, was like finding the long lost pieces of an intricate, internal puzzle. She craved him for who he was and also as bulwark and defense against upcoming loss.

He kissed her passionately, wanting to explore her deep femininity as if marveling some hot, tropical flower.

For all you who don't know...a bulwark is a strong support or protection. Yeah, I know that was foremost on your mind.
