I moan in anticipation as he leans down and sets a kiss onto kiss you Very, very slow Because when you ooh and ahh all over Air Force One, and all over Élysée Palace e arrive, I want you to have my taste in your mouth, and I want every ooh and ahh to taste like me," he rasps, and his lips slide, ever so slowly, torturously slowly, down my nose My breath catches, and Matt inhales deeply, as if breathingmy torture and his own, before he whispers, "Now kiss me back, C, like you mean it Like you miss me," as he presses his lips directly tocloser to hi as his kiss

It’s not just drugging It’s soul-shattering, chest-i Wet and hard My hands are on his shoulders His ar our upper halves flush Our lips are fusing, ue around mine, then suckles me into his mouth

To try to chase it, even if itfor reat first lady; I want to be a great woreat man The man I love
