Chapter 28: Tempered Passions

*TRAE’S POV*

Permission was all that I needed. Without a second of hesitation, I drew Mira’s body against mine, lifting her small frame off of the ground.

I could feel her breath quickening as I lowered my lips toward hers, our hearts beating in unison at a rapid pace.

When our lips finally met, it was a storm of desire and longing. Mira's soft lips were warm and inviting, and the feel of her tongue melding with mine was intoxicating.

Our mouths moved in perfect harmony, a dance of lust and hunger. Our bodies pressed tightly, yearning for more, craving a connection that was beyond words.

In an effort to temper the animalistic desire coursing through me, I pulled away and stared down into her emerald eyes.

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that...” I confessed, breathlessly.

“Is that all you’ve wanted to do?” she smirked, pulling me in for more.
