Coming together Quote by Sarah Wilkins

“He said nothing but his lips licked against mine again. Over and over. Coming together. Parting. Perfect. I was kissing him back with all the strength and desire I had, like I was running out of time, desperately grasping to sand slipping through an hourglass and kissing him was the only way to hold on. There would never be enough time. Not if I had a million years there would never be enough time to trace, to paint, to own every muscle, every freckle of him.”
