But their mom didn’t appear, and I finally closed in, and our tongues touched. Just a little tap, then a tentative lick. She returned each touch of ...he tongue with a muffled snicker. Finally, she opened her mouth, inviting me in, so I pressed my lips against hers and our tongues tangled. I think I came in my pants right then.Eddie and I met when they moved in just down the street from us. We lived in a suburban neighborhood with hills and woods and streams. Back then, houses actually had yards. I could just make out Conleth and Turlough kneeling at her feet through the crowd. I grimaced. Those two were flighty, always glomming onto the new, the exciting. And a mortal who could dance and make love like Kora would enchant them for days.Before something new and shiny caught their eye.I suspected Kora wouldn’t be at all sucked in by their flattery. She had a suspicious mind, after all she didn’t trust me at first. And if Kora was seduced, Zanyia would still have her cunning. The lamia. This is my br, boyfriend Michael," she replied, correcting herself midsentence. I smiled at this introduction."Boyfriend? Girl, when were you planning to tell me about this? How long have you two been going out?" Not very long actually, but it feels like I've known him my whole life," Kate said, winking at me as she said it. "I see Dean is the same as ever," Kate said, gesturing at the man swimming in the pool. "Yep, he sticks to his workout schedule like a religion. Hardly leaves any time for. Hours later, there was a knock on the door.“Shahid, it’s time for dinner, come fast,” said mom. I opened the door and walked past by her to the dining table.During the whole dinner, I kept silent and finished my dinner. Mom came near me to tell something, but I walked past her, ignoring her. I walked into my bedroom to sleep. I knew what I did was rude. But I’m not sure how’s she feeling now about our last night encounter.After 10, everyone went to sleep in their rooms as all the lights turned.
