Riven's heart pounded so loudly it almost drowned out the muffled sound of the water. Soren's mouth moved confidently, claiming Riven's lips with a fierce, almost desperate passion, and Riven couldn't help but melt into it.
There was a tenderness to how Soren cradled Riven's face, his thumbs brushing lightly over his cheeks as he held him close. Riven's hands found their way to Soren's chest, fingers splayed out as if trying to ground himself amid the overwhelming sensation.
Bubbles escaped from his nose as he sighed into the kiss, his mind blissfully blank as Soren poured his emotions into the touch.
The kiss was both possessive and protective, as if Soren was trying to remind Riven that he held his life, his entire being, in his hands.
