"With the hand that was around her waist, I pulled her towards me and put the other hand around her neck. I kissed her passionately, as if my life depended on it. At first she was stiff and surprised but after I bit her lip, she let me in. She ran her fingers trough my hair and we fought for dominance, juicy and vigorously exploring each other. We parted with heavy sighs and I leaned my forehead against hers. With our eyes closed and our lips silent, we talked about everything that kiss meant to us. She stroked my cheek and her angelic touch made light shine through my cracks. I took her hand and we plunged into the night blue.
