The heat from her nearly naked body quickly penetrated my shocked state, and I responded to her kiss in kind. My head swirled with emotion, as I clea...ly decided I was the luckiest man to have ever lived.After several minutes of hot lips and tongue dancing, Ella finally pulled back and let out an audible sigh.
