Never in my life had there been a kiss like that.\nShe stood against me, amorous and willing. Little by little my knee rose between her warm thighs, which spread as though receptive to a lover.\nMy wandering hand upon her gown sought her secret body, which alternately swayed in undulation, or arching, stiffened with tremblings of the skin.\nWith maddened eyes she looked upon the bed; but we had no right to love before the wedding, and we separated hastily at last.","title":"The Songs of Bilitis: II.
