"I know we don't belong
Everyone says it's wrong
We come from different ways
So I tried to erase everything that I felt
That I felt
Then you kiss me and suddenly I don't care any more
Something in me tells me you're the one I'm looking for
Then you kiss me and suddenly I don't care any more
Something in me tells me you're the one I'm looking for…
…Palm to palm
Let lips do what hands do
They pray
Is it a sin
To do what we want to?
Don't care where we've been
Give me my sin again"
- Karmina ("The Kiss")
He is pleasantly surprised that she does not pull away immediately like he expects. He has not felt her lips against his since he found her in the locker room a month ago. He wants to give her time. He wants her to be sure. He has been waiting for her to give him a signal, a sign. He is not sure if this kiss is what he has been looking for, so he hedges his bets as he deepens the kiss.
He is in ecstasy when her lips part to allow his tongue entry. He savors the delicious taste of her. He inhales her sweet scent. His need and desire for her pushes out all reasonable and rational thoughts from his mind. He could not stop now if he wanted to, and he is pretty confident that she feels the same.
He squeezes her hand while his free hand grazes her hip as it travels up to her face. Her hand on his cheek snaking its way to his neck to play with his short hair. Their tongues tangle and tease, probing, searching each other's mouths, getting reacquainted. He strokes her cheek lovingly, wiping away a stray tear of joy before becoming entangled in her hair.
She releases his hand to lightly graze his well toned stomach and strong chest before wrapping both arms around his neck, pulling nearer, hungrily deepening the kiss further, his jacket falling to the pavement with a quiet thud. Instinctively, he pulls her hips closer to him, their bodies molding together. She moans softly, the intensity of the kiss making her dizzy with bliss.
He wonders how he could ever let this go. This thing of grace. This thing of beauty. The world is falling away from them. The raucous noise of New York City fades into the background. There is only them in this perfect world.

And no, the angst isn't over... yet.
