I lay on my side and that helped relieve some of the pressure from my lungs.
Still, I gasped.
Egara lay beside me and took me in his arms.
I liked the warmth his body gave off as the night chill was already beginning to seep deep into my bones.
He edged closer and pecked me on the cheek.
It felt nice, but as he pressed further and nibbled on my ear, I knew he wanted more.
I gasped like I’d been smoking forty a day for the past fifty years.
I didn’t think I could survive another one of his marathon sex sessions.
“I’m not sure I can do it tonight. I can barely breathe.”
“This will make it better,” he said, nibbling the base of my neck.
Maybe it would, but right then, I couldn’t take the risk.
I felt like an asthmatic without a pump.
I needed to be careful.
He pressed his lips to mine, gently, and without passion.
When he pulled back, my breathing ease.
It was like I’d been injected with medicine that expanded the airways.
“It is a little better,” I said.
He leaned forward and kissed me again.
Once more, the breathing cleared up, becoming almost perfectly smooth.
I relished in the feeling of a perfectly operating body.
The kisses became more passionate, and this time, I responded.
The more we kissed, the easier breathing became.
Finally, I pulled back, putting a hand to his chest.
“How is this possible?” I said. “One minute I’m gasping like a fish out of water, and the next, you kissed me, and I’m breathing fine.”
“This is my habitat. This is how I grew up, where my ancestors evolved. We developed systems to survive in such harsh environments.”
“I understand that but why am I able to breathe easier after you kiss me?”
“Because I am passing my strength onto you.”
He said it as if he was telling me the sky was blue.
“Passing on your strengths?” I said. “What does that even mean?”
“It means if I can breathe in this atmosphere, now, so can you.”
