“Do not do this. Not again, please. Do not offer me your lips when you know I cannot have the rest of you.”

“I am not drunk,” her reply was a whisper. “Kiss me, Eli.”

He pressed his forehead against hers. “It is not only your lips I desire, Donna.”

“I know,” her blue eyes were filled with… longing?
