“Are you sure?” I nodded silently, and as he wrapped his arms around me, our lips came together in a long, passionate kiss. I needed him, wanted him, and I wasn’t about to let him walk away again. Standing in the foyer, holding on for dear life, I shed my inhibitions and invited him to bed with me. I’d longed for Alex for longer than I can say, and in this moment I intended to make him mine. No words were spoken, and as he took my hand, together we walked down the hallway. I turned to look at my new lover, and as he pulled me into his arms, we shared a knowing kiss. We’d been doing and saying things we couldn’t take back. Alex pulled back and looked at me, his hand coming up to my face. Tracing my lips, he gazed into my eyes and whispered that he loved me. I melted at his touch, and suckled the tip of one of his fingers that teased my lips. As his mouth came to my own, I parted my lips and welcomed him back into my life. Our kisses grew more heated and as his mouth moved away from my own, he followed my jawline down to my neck and layered sweet, soft kisses on me.
