** Eli **
When he emptied himself into her — for the second time — Eli couldn't help but feel that his entire sex life up till today had been a lie.
Everything that happened in this portion of the past hour was completely new to him. This sublime intimacy of entangling deep into each other, truly skin to skin and soul to soul. This desperate yearning that made him want to fold her closer and closer into him, until she became a part of himself and until their heartbeats became one. This insatiable need that didn't ease the slightest even as they went limp in each other's arms, gasping yet refusing to let go of their tight embrace.
If this was what sex was supposed to feel like … then what had he been doing all those years before?
Or maybe, this had stopped being simply sex to him long ago already. Maybe this was what people call … making love? And in that regard, he was indeed just as new to the scene as the girl in his arms.
