Author's note: this is from Serina's point of view

I was enveloped in the scent of Duke while his flavors coursed through my system, lost in the kiss and his presence as all of my nerve endings came alive.
A soft groan rumbled in his chest a moment before his arms circled around me, pulling me closer until the smallest gaps between us disappeared.
I fisted his shirt, holding him tightly as our tongues caressed each other, a little bit deeper and with less reservation every time.
I melted into him willingly, hoping that we will never be apart again.
I became aware of how the lack of Duke's presence in my life drove me to the point of insanity. Why would I choose to live in dreams and imagination when reality can be this wonderful?
I needed him.
