I don't know what possessed me to do my next action, as I closed the inch of distance between our lips. Perhaps it was floating in the air or rushing through my blood, but just this once before the madness ensued I wanted to kiss him. Maybe I shouldn't have let myself give in for a single moment, but I was only human and he was unlike any man I had met in a long time. Our lips pressed together, eyes closed, arms pressed against his chest as he brought me closer. We moved in sync and this feeling made everything melt away. ________________________________________________ In the middle of editing so two of this symbol ~ . means that a chapter is fully edited minus the few grammar mistakes I'm bound to make, if there's only one ~ then it means that chapter is currently being edited so please don't kill me.
