It took every ounce of my willpower not to reciprocate his kiss. Our lips moved in flawless synchrony.
I trembled as I felt his tongue tracing my lower lip. My legs turned feeble, and I clutched his shirt for support. Suddenly, his hands released mine and firmly seized my waist, simultaneously drawing me closer.
I could perceive the fervent heat emanating from his body. His heart throbbed rapidly beneath my hands. I withdrew my hand and exerted a forceful push to separate us.
"Soaf... please," he implored, his azure eyes locked onto mine.
"I... I have to go," I responded, taken aback by the unexpected situation.

"This. Us! What we did last night was reckless and so so perfect at the same time." He got up and walked over to me. "All I could think about was the look on your face. I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about the feel of your skin against mine." He came closer and now he was a breath away.
"What are you saying?" I whispered.
"I don't know."
"I thought you didn't do girlfriends."
"I don't." And just like that our lips met and the fire ignited within me again.
