I gently caught her lower lip between my teeth before drawing it into a soft kiss. She placed a hand against my chest, but it wasn't to push me away. Instead, her slender fingers curled around the lapel of my coat as I brushed my lips against hers, treating her as delicately as a rose petal kissed by morning dew. My hand settled at her waist, feeling the gentle curve of her body. A soft moan escaped Luana before her lips moved eagerly against mine, catching me completely off guard. She wanted this too. Drake practically howled with delight inside me. At last, we were getting somewhere, and her silent response encouraged me to take control. I deepened the kiss, savoring her sweetness. The taste of blueberries lingered on her lips, and the sensation sent a surge of excitement through me.
