Helanie:
His lips were soft and comforting. I could have pulled away, but in that moment, I just couldn't. I enjoyed how good they tasted— a hint of cherry with a subtle touch of honey. His lips felt like a journey to heaven. I smiled against his lips as he pressed his mouth harder on mine, deepening the kiss.
However, I didn't participate much, which made him slowly pull back. He lingered close, his breath warm on my face, until a snapping twig interrupted his next attempt to kiss me.
I got so scared that I instinctively pulled away, breaking the cozy blanket circle and looking in the direction of the noise.
"Hey, easy! Maybe it was just a squirrel," he laughed, raising his arm to reassure me.
"Maybe we should check. What if someone saw us?" I asked, still shaken, dismissing the comfort of his warm embrace.
