I paused to look at him, and his eyes burned with challenge. “Then you will be pleased to know I never do.” I kissed him again, deeply, more passionately than before with my tongue exploring. He burned more too, so hot that I snapped away with a harsher hiss than his. He was growing warmer every second, just like the true sun following us, bringing the dawn. “Isn’t that a lie?” “Diversion and deflection, I would argue, are not lies if the promised end is the truth.” “Hmm…” He seemed to consider that and shifted on the bed to tilt his spread thighs toward mine.
