Kissing her is like reliving my best childhood memory.My hand slides down from her waist to cup her butt which earns a squeal from her.We finally part away from each other to take some air, her pink lips are swollen from all the kissing but I can't get enough of her. Pulling her out of the washroom, I lead her towards the bed and I don't feel any hesitation from her. I won't do anything she doesn't want, "Lia, please let me pleasure you. Nothing more" I stare at her face for confirmation. She gives an affirmative nod and I don't waste a moment and kiss her senselessly.Breaking the kiss I take off my suit jacket "lay on the bed" she immediately lays down like an obedient lover.

Dai's POVDahlia slept off some minutes after we entered Okayama and watching her chest rise and fall as she sleeps soundly has me in a daze. Stopping at a red light I turn to position her head so her neck doesn't hurt when we arrive.Taking a few minutes to admire her beauty under the street lights of the city, even without foundations of cosmetic products she'll still look so beautiful. She's got that innocent glow which is so inviting like a seductive spell.Following the GPS directions I make a U-turn and round the block which I assume to be the apartment area when Lia lives. Driving through I count the luxurious apartments until I arrive at Gated apartment 6.Turning to Lia which takes me another two minutes to admire her beauty, "Lia........wake up, we're here" I whisper.
