In a moment of weakness, our eyes met and locked. Suddenly his mouth was on mine. This small taste of his sweet lips wasn’t nearly enough for me. I needed more and found myself returning the kiss with all the pent-up passion I felt. Then reality stepped in and I pulled away, breathless. We can’t do this.
