I held her face gently in my hands and began to kiss her on the forehead, cheeks and finally her mouth...again her silver hair almost glowed in the se...i-darkend room making her appear as a pleasant apparition. “I really love that you like to kiss me too, it's been so long since I have been appreciated like that,” she said. “Truth be known, I've probably wanted to kiss you for many years,' I intimated. “Don't stop,” she admonished.
