Paul lifted his hand and brushed his thumb across Leigh’s…
““Paul lifted his hand and brushed his thumb across Leigh’s lips. Then he leaned forward and kissed him. Leigh groaned with release, as though something deep within him had been unlocked. The kiss became urgent, a tangle of lips and tongues, and Paul closed his eyes, aware of the darkness like a wave and of the two of them swimming in it, spinning around and around endlessly, as though the world itself was turning. Paul grasped helplessly, found the neck of Leigh’s suit and tore it, ripping it the length of his spine. Leigh laughed and pulled away and Paul opened his eyes to find Leigh naked, tearing the suit from his shoulders and thighs, a rag soon crumpled on the floor.””
