Sam clearly felt his own body shaking—and it was not only him, as Quinn was trembling beneath him too.
He was really at the limit of his self-restraint and would have let loose before.
He gently approached her even as she stiffened from head to toe, her fingers clenching nervously on the sheets and afraid to release it.
She did not even realize how she ended up beneath Sam, only that his breathing was ragged and his heart pounding heavily like thunder.
She was actually afraid to touch him, since she felt that he was dangerous just then.
Nonetheless, he pressed his lips against hers, his heart thumping even more violently while she clenched harder on the sheets.
Their minds went blank when their lips met.
Unable to think, the tender sensation between them seemed to plunge straight into their buoyed spirits.
So that was what a real kiss felt like.
Quinn suddenly remembered the time Sam took her in the car, which was more like mating between base animals.
On that occasion, she felt humiliation instead of joy, but now, she actually took the lead—while Sam was careful to not hurt her, her lips parted invitingly…
Sam certainly could not resist the temptation and plunged within.
The world seemed to turn quiet around them just then, with only the sound of their heartbeats intertwining.
A long while passed—neither knew how long they were kissing each other, as if it could be just as brief as a minute or as long as a century.
