She's vulnerable

Lost

Not thinking straight

I would be taking advantage of her if I let this go on

But then I think of other things

Like her breasts pressed into ainst mine The warmth of her body, the swell of her ass just three inches below my hands that are clasped at her lower back The littlesound she makes as our kiss enters erotic territory The utter and irrefutable knowledge of just how fucking good it feels to be buried deep inside of her I've never had better, and now that I've gotten a reain It's at this point that my cock starts to outwit my brain

I spin both of us around until her back is resting against the refrigerator She gasps but never moves her mouth frohtly to look down at her

"Where'd your head go, Vale?" Hawkehis lips from mine, down and over to oes fuzzy "You tensed up Want me to stop?"

My head snaps back up and ain, push ainst his "Please don't stop, okay?"

"Good," I say with equal relief

"Great"
