"A strand of hair was laying over her left eye and he slowly tucked it behind her ear with his index finger. His hand kept going down to the back of her neck and he caressed her blushing cheek with his thumb. She did not seem to be cold anymore. His eyes traveled from her cheek to the expectant hazel eyes, down to her freckles again and lower to her mid open mouth. He leaned in and felt her soft lips closing shut as they met his. He wrapped his arms around her waist, annulling the space between them. After a brief moment he felt the tension leaving her body. Finally, her mouth opened, gasping for air and he locked her upper lip between his and sucked gently. His right hand moved up on her back and the small moan coming out of her made goosebumps explode on his skin. Her hands began to move up on his chest and he wondered if she could feel how fast his heart was beating."
