Renee's heart immediately starting beating faster, and her trembling breath left her at the touch of Scarlett's lips against hers. She closed her eyes, falling into the love of the kiss. Her fingers moved into Scarlett's hair, her other hand holding the other woman close. Renee returned the kiss, passionate but unhurried. It had been so long since they could do this in such perfection. Renee kissed slowly, enjoying and preserving every moment as it flowed into the next.
