Honestly and truly here. And that I wasn’t just imagining it. The hand that was caressing me told me that she was real and that if I didn’t slow her down, I was going to embarrass myself. And fast.Reaching down, I put my hand on top of hers to still it. A little sound of protest escaped her lips. I silenced it with my mouth as I kissed her. Slow. Deep. Sweet. God, I could kiss her forever, and it still wouldn’t feel like enough. I was never one that really found kissing to be more than a way to get to the good stuff, but right now, I was finding that kissing Ali was essential.Her lips were so soft, and her sighs and little sounds that she was making were so erotic that I could easily lose my mind. Unable to help myself, I raised my head and just looked at her. Her eyes were a bit dazed, her skin was flushed, and I had an overwhelming need to just cradle her in my arms and cherish her.It was so out of character for me that I hoped she couldn’t see the confusion on my face. Just in case she could, I went back to kissing her, and I could feel her smile against my lips.
