She blushed profusely as he leaned forward and softly brushed his lips against her neck, just beneath her ear. He heard her breath catch in her throat as he inhaled the sweet scent of her perfume.
She turned her face to kiss the heel of his hand and left her most vulnerable part of her body to his desire. He was hungry and she could feel his warm breath on her neck she turned her head again searching for his lips, longing to taste his kiss.

Soon, her fingers found tip and she lightly pinched and squeezed, sending micro-bolts coursing through her body. Her other hand slipped beneath the hem of her panties and she blushed again as they caressed the baby-smooth skin left by the hot wax earlier that morning.

As the morning light washed the remnants of her slumber from her mind, a tear fell from her eye and slowly trailed down her cheek. Where was he? Why was she alone? When would she feel his touch again?
