She relished the feel of a man's arms around her... His arms. It was like being enveloped in a warm blanket, such was his embrace. Karen clutched at him for a time, her senses swirling around and making her dizzy. Her mouth eventually sought his again, but only briefly and softly that time. "i shouldn't want this, but I do. I don't want to be lonely anymore." Her words were a ragged whisper, raw with some emotion she tried not to name right then. Her eyes met his, hands lifting to cup his dear face.
