"What do you think?" Janet asked timidly.
If she had to be honest, she wasn't really confident about the painting. The last time she had painted with nature as the subject was when she was still a student. She had been drawing fashion designs so much that she had started to feel the rest of her drawing repertoire slipping. As for what she had just made, she'd just pulled it mostly out of her imagination. Janet wasn't sure if Ethan would like it; it certainly looked flat to her.
Ethan's face was unreadable as he reached out to run his fingers across the drawing board. For one long moment, he said nothing and just stared at it.
Janet grew flustered soon enough. She tugged at his sleeve, her lips pursed. "Ethan, is everything okay?"
Instead of answering her, he just bent down and kissed her again.
Janet was so nervous that her palms were sticky with sweat, but she still grabbed his shirt and pulled him close. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to fall into his passionate assault, even as her heart thundered inside her chest.
Their kiss deepened, their tongues dancing wildly against each other. The sound of the crashing waves faded into the background, and all they could hear was their labored breathing and the occasional moan of pleasure.
"Wait, Ethan," Janet panted as she pulled back and turned her head sideways to avoid another kiss. "You haven't said anything about my painting yet." Her face was flushed, and her lips were swollen.
Undeterred, Ethan pressed a soft kiss on her cheek and pressed her slender waist against his body. He gave the drawing board a short, tender glance before trailing more kisses down her throat.
His lips wandered to the back of her ear. "It's good, babe," he whispered, his voice tight. "It looks really good. There, can I do it now?" Ethan was burning with desire.
Janet finally looked up at him, only to lower her eyes again. Her mind was slowly turning into mush. She didn't even know what to say. The truth was that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her, if not more.
Ethan's eyes darkened. Before she could utter a word, he swooped down and mischievously licked her lips, nipping and sucking the soft flesh between her teeth.
Soon enough, neither could contain their raging lust any longer.
