Chapter 58 Tomatoes

"Is this what a kiss feels like?" Veronica wondered as her lips melted into Riley's.

"It's been so long…" she thought, a shiver coursing through her.

"His kiss… it's so good!" she moaned softly against his mouth. Her hands, trembling slightly, slid up to his shoulders, trying to hold onto something, anything, as the overwhelming sensation threatened to consume her.

She closed her eyes, surrendering fully, letting the kiss pull her into its spell. Riley's lips moved with a commanding yet tender rhythm, and her heart raced in time with it.

For a brief, blissful moment, she forgot everything else—the world, her fears, even herself—until Riley pulled back, breaking the kiss.

"What…" she began to ask, her voice breathy and weak, but the words never came. Before she could gather her thoughts, Riley's lips were on her neck, trailing hot, deliberate kisses along her sensitive skin.
