FORGET THE RULES

Without a word, he drew Luciano closer, his movements smooth and purposeful. This kiss was unlike any kiss they had shared before. Gone was the feverish urgency, the clashing of teeth and the desperate grasping. Instead, there was a tenderness, a reverence in their lips meeting that left him breathless. The kiss was soft, languid, imbued with an unexplainable emotion that he had never experienced.

Time seemed to slow to a crawl as they remained entwined, their bodies suspended in the tranquil waters. Giovanni brought his hand to the back of his neck, his fingers tangling in his damp hair. When Luciano pulled him towards him, closing the distance between them and moulding his body against his. Their mouths moved in perfect harmony and he could taste the sweetness of his lips, the warmth of his breath mingling with his.
