Her lips tasted like the very cure he needed. There was a shimmering sheen of sweat on his temple, the pain in his shoulder was still evidently sharp, but the moment his lips touched hers, it felt like all of his discomfort had slowly evaporated.
It somehow felt like he'd never kissed her before, because this time his mind wasn't trying to shove up resistance to hide his feelings behind a veil, this time he felt it in his chest, all the deliciously fluttering sensations that only she could awaken in his body.
He slightly nipped her lower lip, subtly tasting the petal softness of her mouth and her breath hitched.
He could feel how stiff she'd gone and his mouth which had trapped her lips in a kiss slowly released, retracting lingeringly.
Her eyes were wide and shocked, but that light pink color he liked seeing on her had trailed up her cheeks it made him chuckle slightly before pulling away.
