He gasps in a bid to pull away from her , she was not in the right frame of mind instead Isabella pulls him close to herself and locks his tongue with hers. Her lips was soft and tongue warm , she bites his lower lip gently as if taking care of a fragile object and takes it into hers . Slowly, Joseph opens his lips fully dominating the kiss , he holds her smooth silk cheek with both palms and kisses her sweetly . She lets out a moan.
