Annie’s hands shook as she unbuttoned his shirt. Her entire body quivered in anticipation. An expectation of hope like she never felt before coursed through her soul. She knew that her life would never be the same again. It did not matter that it was one of the briefest courtships in history. Annie knew instinctively that she had found her soul mate and she was confident that Thomas felt the same way.Their kissing resumed as they lay on the bed, Thomas stretching his tall body next to her. Their joined lips grew hungrier, as they kissed deeper, with the hardness of unmitigated passion. He pulled back, his eyes searching her face. Annie looked at his flushed appearance recognizing the shared desire to join in carnal delight. Thomas kissed her again, this time softer, almost reverent. He touched the side of her face so delicately, as if he were touching a glass figurine. “You are my heart’s true desire. My kindred soul.”His words caressed her as did his touches, making it feel as if he was worshipping her.
