Embers of Desire

Valoric's lips parted instinctively as Scorch's mouth claimed his, the world around them dissolving into a sea of sensation. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer as their kiss deepened, the heat between them growing almost unbearable. Scorch's small, lithe body melted into his, her curves fitting perfectly against his lean, muscular frame. As they kissed, their hands began to roam, exploring the contours of each other's bodies. Valoric's palms drifted over Scorch's rounded hips, tracing the smooth lines of her thighs, and cupping her breasts. She gasped softly, her nails digging into his chest as he teased her nipples, sending shivers coursing through her. Scorch's hands, meanwhile, wandered over Valoric's torso, her fingers tracing the ridges of his abdominal muscles, and the broad expanse of his shoulders. She marveled at the definition of his body, honed from years of combat and training, and the way his muscles rippled beneath his skin as he moved. As they explored each other, their kiss grew more urgent, their breathing faster. Valoric's mouth slid down Scorch's neck, nipping at the sensitive skin, and sending her into a shiver. She arched into his touch, her body responding to his every caress. Scorch, in turn, blazed a trail of fire along Valoric's jawline, her lips and tongue sending sparks of pleasure dancing across his skin. Her hands roamed lower, tracing the lines of his hips, and the contours of his thighs, her touch igniting a wildfire of desire within him. The room around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the swirling vortex of their passion. The crackling fire, the soft murmur of the inn's patrons, and the distant sounds of the night all faded into insignificance as they surrendered to the all-consuming flames of their desire. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Valoric knew that he had never felt this way about anyone before. He had never been this way with anyone before. The realization sent a thrill coursing through him, and he deepened the kiss, his heart pounding in his chest. Scorch's response was immediate, her body molding to his, her lips and tongue dancing with his in a sensual ballet of give and take. The world around them was a blur, a kaleidoscope of color and sound, but all that mattered was the two of them, lost in the infinite expanse of their desire.
