He hadn't kissedin what felt like an eternity; we hadn't even locked lips during our monthly intimacy nights
in ages, too focused on simply getting the job done. But now...
A soft, broken sound escaped the back of my throat, something between a gasp and a moan m**ed by the
insistent press of his lips. Thankfully, it was drowned out by the music.
Too much, it was too much. And yet, somehow, it was nowhere near enough all at once.
