I quickly added, "But it's fine. You can do that later, okay?" There was a pause. Then, slowly, he exhaled.

The kiss was deep. Slow. Like he was trying to drag something out of me.
I kissed him back half-heartedly, not wanting this to go beyond the kiss. Not with what he had just done to that poor girl.
