Bab 46: Hickey

The kiss was nothing like the novels Rubiella had read for "research." It made her feel heady. Like her head was full of clouds and her mouth was being consumed by heat.

She did not move at first. She couldn't. She was shocked that Hansel was actually kissing her. Then she stopped thinking altogether and closed her eyes, and started to tentatively move her lips against his. 

Like this, right? 

She just had to copy him. 

She kissed his lips. They were so soft. 

She was starting to get the hang of it when Hansel suddenly licked her lips. 

Her mouth opened in surprise.

He inserted his tongue and it blew her mind. He was tasting her now and she could taste him back.

He had drawn her body closer to his. Rubiella could feel his hard chest. She looped her arms around his neck. She was starting to feel weak. 

Air.

She needed air.

She cut off the kiss and inhaled a big gulp of air.

She had forgotten to breathe.
