His temperature climbed steadily, his skin feverish to the touch, as though his veins were filled with liquid
fire.
The bump in his throat moved dramatically, the blood vessel on his neck pulsing visibly in an alluring way.
I shifted my head, my delicate mouth grazing the prominent vein.
Eventually reaching his throat, I nipped it gently.
It was as if a dam had suddenly burst.
Also reminiscent of a long–dormant volcano finally unleashing its power.
In a flash, Simon flipped our positions, pinning me to the mattress.
His kisses were intense, deep and passionate

I struggled to match his pace.
I felt like I might be overwhelmed by his fervor.
“Lola…”
He repeated my name endlessly, without tiring.
Just before the final moment, he kissed me tenderly once more, saying, “If it’s painful, you can bite me.”
I shut my eyes and murmured a soft “Mm” in agreement.
My fingernails raked his back as I sank my teeth into his shoulder.
Yet it still caused me pain.
The discomfort was so intense that tears sprang to my
eyes.
“Simon.”
I gazed at him through watery eyes, feeling somewhat wronged.
His expression was intimidating at that moment.

I instinctively thought he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.
But Simon halted all movement and embraced me.
I wrapped my arms around his middle, suddenly recalling our encounter at the airport.
I couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you say that day that even if I pleaded or wept, it wouldn’t make a difference?”
The longing in his eyes remained intense and undiminished.
His face revealed how conflicted he felt, and how much he was restraining himself.
Simon held me close and spoke in a rough voice, “I can’t bring myself to hurt you.”
“Simon…”
“Mm.”
“When did your feelings for me begin?”
But he remained silent, just holding me tighter.

“You won’t tell me?” I looked up at him with a smile, “Then I won’t confess my feelings for you either.”
Simon’s gaze suddenly met mine.
In his eyes, beneath the raging desire, there was also an infinite tenderness swirling.
After a pause, he finally whispered.
“From the moment I first saw you.”
“Lola, I thought I’d never have the chance to tell you in this lifetime.”
My heart ached intensely at his words, “It’s alright, Simon. We have the rest of our lives together now.”
“Yes, we have a lifetime ahead of us.”
Our fingers had unconsciously become tightly interlaced.
As I raised my face to kiss him, he lowered his head to meet me in a gentle kiss.
“Simon, I think the pain has subsided…”

“Do you… want to continue?”
Soon, intimate sounds filled the room.
They persisted for quite some time.
This night would stretch on.
And even longer would be the lifetime we’d share.
In the midst of passion’s tide.
We’ll express our profound love, away from prying
eyes.
