Chapter 34: Kissing the Sun

*** Ariana's POV***

His lips were hot and plump. I felt their vigor against my own lips. I tasted him when he placed his tongue against my own. It was like tasting fire in my mouth, but a passionate, warm fire filled me. I felt the first shock and then a melting sensation as my body sought to fall into rhythm with his.

But, suddenly I realized what had happened. I gasped and pulled my face away from his own. I felt my lips separate from his, and that I secretly desired to become one with him once again and kiss him intensely. When I kissed him, I felt the warmth of fire melting away the harsh coldness of the past few weeks.

I felt as if my soul had become a large chunk of ice and that my body refused to function as a result. Now, I felt only the heat of his embrace and the ice dissolving inside me. My energy seemed to be slowly recuperating in my body.
