Unexpected blooms

Duke closed that last fraction of space between us with urgency like he was afraid that I will change my mind if he delays.

A second later, his flavors filled me up as he deepened the kiss, and my soul shivered in pleasure.

Duke's scent, taste, pressure, friction, his presence all around me… it was euphoric.

We were lying on the chaise and embracing each other while kissing like people who were starving.

I never knew that a kiss can be so intense and that someone's proximity can be so invigorating.

It was soothing and tantalizing at the same time and I enjoyed it profusely, but I craved for more. Much more.

Something swelled inside my chest and expanded in waves, with every stroke of his tongue against mine.
