“Did you say something?” Jia whispered.

“Out loud, you mean?” Tiler breathed, in as soft a voice. Did I? I thought I was only imagining our kiss? You mean you heard that?

“Where was I? Oh, yeah. The kiss.  After sliding my lips over the soft skin over your clavicle, I’ll nibble-kiss my way up your neck, skim over your chin. Pause. Eager. Anxious. But I wait. Wait for your sigh. The sigh that’ll tell me … now you may kiss me.”

I melt because, just like I expected, you’ll taste ….unnhnnn… unforgettable, sweet and irresistible. You’ll whimper for more when I try to draw back. I moan ‘coz we’re just getting started, and there’s no telling where this’ll end up…”

A stampede of slim heels clacking on the cement floor and heavy-footed feet pounding the pavement interrupted the intense silence. There were also howls of concern that soon drowned out whatever else Rian was trying to say to continue to soothe Jia.
