Beauty was not just an opinion, it was a way of life.”

His hands stayed spread over my ribs, holding me close, reminding me of how intimate we had just been.

“His mouth moved over mine with skill. Caressing, nibbling, sucking until I kissed him back in the same way. His hunger was subtle at first, growing with intensity the longer we stood there. His hands found my waist, tugging me against his hard body. My hands belatedly fluttered to his chest where I clutched his t-shirt with two fists and held on for my life.
