She fell solidly half on top of him, but he didn't seem to notice; he was too busy kissing her everywhere. He whimpered against her mouth and something tightened low in her belly. She kissed back, squeezing his hands once before gently releasing them, moving them to rest lightly on his sides.

She didn't want this to be over too soon.
