Analysis of Kisses



He kissed me and I let out an

almost inaudible moan.

Hmm?  was all he could say between

I didn't answer him.

This time, I kissed him

More intensely than before.

This time, he moaned, and

I broke away.

What was that? I asked softly,

my breath coming

in short rasps.

He chuckled gently and before

I could kiss him again,

he whispered, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Then he smashed

his mouth to mine before

any more words could escape it.
