A Graduation Gift

As the night grew freezing cold, Cassandra and Rufus shared a kiss that burned passionately.

Cassandra blanked out by the overwhelming passion she felt. She could feel nothing but the burning desire of the ardent man. With her eyes wide open, she gave him no resistance and just let him do whatever he wished.

His mouth covered the fullness of hers and they were biting and exploring each other's lips. Cassandra didn't want that to stop. Rufus, however, let her go for he could no longer catch his breath. He looked at her so intensely that he was still biting his lips savoring the taste of the lady. The woman was left bewildered. The kiss felt so long and so pleasing up to the point that she couldn't remember what she was doing.

"We're here,"

the man whispered in her ears. Their bodies were pressed against each other. They were so intimate that when the man spoke with a low and charismatic voice, the woman felt totally elated. Looking at her eyes, he couldn't hide the mirth and pleasure he felt deep inside.

It was then that Cassandra realized what had just happened. Feeling the intense heat and the intimate position they were in, she gave him a gentle push and cursed in a cute voice, "Bastard!"

Her voice was mixed with anger and shame. Even though she was cursing him, deep inside she knew she enjoyed the feeling. Despite the fact that it was too embarrassing for her to admit, she loved the way Rufus kissed her. She hated the idea that she liked the kiss and wanted more of it.

'Why did I even let the kiss happen?' she asked herself.

Escaping from the strange thoughts, she quickly got off the car and rushed into the hotel, totally ignoring him who was just following her closely. Her lips were quivering as an aftermath of the torrid kiss.

'Cassandra, what have you done?' The question kept on bugling her mind.

Rufus who was just walking behind Cassandra, casually with his hand inside his pockets. He couldn't help smiling at the sight of her murmuring to herself.

For him, the night became more charming and interesting because of this woman.

Inside the deluxe room of the hotel, sprinkles of hot water from the shower trickled down onto the floor.

Cassandra immersed herself in the hot water, letting the water flow from her head, to her face, down to her breasts, her waist, and her legs. The water was way hotter than the normal bathing temperature but she didn't seem to mind. She felt numb and careless.

She was merely standing there staring blankly at the floor. Her mind was preoccupied with the earlier kiss and the emotions she felt associated with that kiss.
