“
Oh just kiss me Baethan!” I shouted, frustrated. This was taking too long.
He laughed lightly. “Not yet.”
I rolled my eyes. “Brat.”
“Nay love,” he responded softly. His eyes met mine as he brushed his knuckles along my cheek. “Nothing is ever rushed with you. Every moment, every touch, every kiss…is an art form. Like a painter working on his masterpiece, I must be patient and precise with each and every stroke.”
Oh my.
“Bae, I want to feel your lips upon mine.”
“You will,” he answered, “but this, this right here, is how a real kiss begins.” His hands brushed along my arms and upward, moving slowly as they skimmed passed my chest as light as a feather. Rising higher, his fingers brushed along my neck and tilted my head back, his thumbs anchored on either side of the bottom of my chin. “Close your eyes,” he whispered and I realized he was lowering his head, pausing just an inch from my lips. They parted, my breath accelerated as I awaited the tender touch of moist warmth that would follow.
My eyes closed and I breathed, several seconds passing us by as if hours, until his mouth closed over mine. His lips parted as his tongue gently pushed through, briefly, and then he pulled away slightly as his teeth nibbled my bottom lip. He held my face in his hands, and pressed multiple light kisses all over my mouth until I moaned.
