Summary
When forty year old Colin meets a vibrant twenty three year old Penelope at a restaurant bar, he tries to avoid her advances, before giving in entirely.
--
When she pulls back, he mourns the loss, but then she asks, “do you want to kiss me?”
And in that moment, he remembers how young she is. He looks down into her eyes, and sees the uncertainty. The bravado, confidence, it teeters on a knife's edge, a balancing act of substantial proportions. She needs him to take over.
The first brush of their lips together sends a shiver down his spine. It’s soft, sweet, tentative, and when she moans against his mouth, something inside of him snaps. He grabs her face between his hands, holding it steady while he devours her. Their tongues become embroiled with one another, and the sounds she’s making—god—he wants to eat her alive, all of a sudden. When he feels her body pressed into his, her soft breasts rubbing against his torso, his arousal spikes. But this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s not twenty three.
