My palm was slick with sweat and my heart was jumping like it was trying to get out of my ribcage.

He pulled my legs open, his eyes fervent.

“What are you doing?”

“You promised to let me eat you when I catch you.”

I knew this wasn’t what he wanted to tell me now, but I decided this was for the best as he caressed my breasts, his fingers temptingly gentle.
