Lost in the moment, Elissa watched as Raphael drew closer step by step.

He tenderly supported her back, and then leaned in to kiss her.

His lips carried a faint scent of tobacco.

Their kiss lingered for quite some time. Afterwards, Raphael wrapped her in a bath towel... He gently dried her off, and then led her back to the bedroom where they made love.
