Innocence that had nothing to do with virginity but was, instead, a part of her, a sweetness of soul like the petals of a flower

Caleb kissed her breasts Suckled at her nipples Heard her soft cries of pleasure as he kissed his way down the length of her, nuzzled her thighs apart, sought and found the ineffable sweetness that awaited him

Her cries came faster

Her hands dug into his hair

He kissed Nipped Licked

She screaainst his mouth

He gave hiasm Then he rose, moved up her body, took her led passion on his tongue

She moaned

Raised her hips

Arched against him

He kissed her again Then he knelt between her thighs …

And went still as stone

No, he thought, no …

“What is it?” she whispered

He wanted to laugh Or cry Maybe just do whichever came first
