"I want you too," you say before crashing your lips against ${lex_hrs}, intending to show just how much.

There's no tenderness or sweetness—nothing you'd dream of from a first kiss with ${lex_name}.

Instead, it's desperate, passionate, filled with deep desire building with each fiery meeting of your lips, each stroke as ${lex_his} hands begin to roam over your body.

Each possessive caress leaves an imprint, igniting a fire that streaks through your veins, and a breathless moan escapes ${lex_him} as your fingers tangle in ${lex_his} soft hair, 
tugging ${lex_his} head slightly backward.

${lex_name} exhales sharply as you bite down on ${lex_his} lower lip possessively, only to soften the mark moments later with a slow, deliberate lick—a silent apology, 
but also a wordless plea, urging you to let you in.

And ${lex_she} does.

The kiss deepens, your tongue brushing against ${lex_hrs}, coaxing ${lex_him} to meet your intensity, to match the fire ${lex_she}'s igniting within you.

Every sound ${lex_his} body gives in response to your touch sends a dizzying wave through you, heightening a deep-seated need that pulses with intoxicating urgency against

As soon as the last piece of clothing falls away, the warmth of your bodies collides again, and your lips find each other once more—this time with full, undivided focus.

The sensation of ${lex_his} bare skin against yours drawing a groan from your lips, but there's no trace of insecurity or shame in the way ${lex_his} body presses against yours—only a raw, 
undeniable connection.

Every breath, every touch, every kiss feels so right that it almost feels wrong—wrong in a way that's deeper than it already is.

${lex_name} senses your hesitation—${lex_she} always does—and pulls back just enough to meet your gaze.

Your ragged breaths interweave as you finally take in the sight before you: ${lex_his} disheveled face, ${lex_his} tousled hair, 
the half-lidded eyes staring back at you with such desire and clarity that, for a moment, you almost believe ${lex_she}'s sober, that ${lex_she} can—

frustration at yourself for letting this happen, for wanting it—wanting ${lex_him}—so badly, for not acting sooner, and for being unable to stop.

Just like a moment before, as if ${lex_she} can feel everything with you through mere physical touch, ${lex_name} suddenly pulls away.

You don't listen, capturing ${lex_his} lips again, still overwhelmed by the rush of your emotions. 

$!{lex_she} pulls back, though, as far as your hands allow while you still hold ${lex_him} tightly, refusing to let go.

"Why are you hesitating?" ${lex_name} asks quietly, searching your gaze. "Do I…" $!{lex_she} pauses, biting ${lex_his} swollen lip. "Do you want me to show you… just how much I want this?"
