Quote by Jenna Levine

“Peter kissed me the way a man on the cusp of drowning breathes. Gasping and desperate. His mouth tasted of the meal he'd drunk before finding me in the bar, of the breath mints he'd probably chewed to cover it up, yet I burned for this. For him.”

“When someone’s sole reason for being close to your face is to help with your makeup, it is not the done thing to hook your arm around their neck, latch your legs around their hips, and slide your tongue into their mouth as thanks for their assistance. And I did not do so! But out of nowhere, I wanted to. Sweet Spirit, how I wanted to. Welcome to Leo Has Bad Ideas, a one-act play by a dumbass.”

“Jesus, I’ve Suffered in Silents These years I was lonely, but it’s clear I want her only. This love is getting the best of me, all of me, baby, can’t you see? the touch of her skin. Where do I begin? This love’s a place I’ve never known. Dear Lord, thank you, for this mountain I could climb. Lost in a haze of doubt, feeling without, now, love has filled my heart. I found my way, out of the storm. {CHORUS} Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve took away my pain. I come running back to you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her, then what can I do? The tastes of her lips still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands, wrap them around her heart, let her see any promises I made; she won’t live without. Lord, you’ve answered my prayers so many times, through heart break, broken pieces that fell astray, you’ve dried my tears, put them together, again. Oh, my Lord. I’ve prayed for her, now’s she’s here can you wash away my fears? There’s been so many times, my hearts left empty, no matter how much of me I give. The weight on my heart is lifted with the touch of her hand, only you dear Lord, can understand. Thinking of this love brings me to my knees. Yet, this blanket of my past won’t keep my mind at ease. {CHORUS} Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve took away my pain. I come running back to you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her, then what can I do? The tastes of her lips still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands, wrap them around her heart, let her see any promises I made; she won’t live without. There’s strength on top of this mountain you gave me to climb; I won’t be torn up anymore. I watch her eyes follow me wherever I go. So clear, and kind, Lord, I’m letting you know. This love’s getting the best of me. What a wonderful feeling when she said, my eyes are a different kind of blue, oh baby. When she looks at me that way, it feels like a love I always knew. A dream come true! {Instrumental} The stains of my tattered past, kept to myself, while the weight of my life bears down. I’ve crossed a thousand miles, fell along the way, everything I’ve learned brought me to this day. There’s no questions no doubt. Lord, there’s times It’s me who stands in my way. The reflection of scars still healing, dear Jesus you’ll find me knelling. While the darkness on the walls fade away. Again, I lift my arms, and reach up to pray. {CHORUS} Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve took away my pain. I come running back to you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her, then what can I do? The tastes of her lips still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands, wrap them around her heart, let her see any promises I made; she won’t live without. Oh, if I can’t kiss her then what will I do? Baby! if I can’t kiss you then what will I do? Ron Baratono (written 6-27-25)”

“And when I snagged his lip again, he groaned and held on to me tighter, breaking apart just long enough to growl, "Gentle, sweetheart," before he kissed me again. And fuck, I didn't know if it was his main character magic, or the fact that I'd never been called sweetheart with such hunger, but it burned deep in my middle, below where the butterflies had burrowed and lain dead for years. His heroine could have him tomorrow. I wanted to have him now, this second, in my m---”

“Their bodies coupled. Her breasts pressed against his chest and their hip bones rubbed. He curved his arms about her shoulders. She settled her hands at his waist. The man was solid. His muscles taut. She shifted between his legs, flush with his groin. A groin that stirred. Arousal struck hard. He bent to kiss her. Just as she stretched up to him. Time slowed with the exchange of breath. The heat of his slightly parted lips blew across her mouth. His unshaved jaw brushed the softer skin of her chin. Seconds were magnified as each memorized the impact of the moment. It was startling. Unsettling. And unforgettable. He moved on her without reservation. The pull between them was inescapable. He slanted his mouth over hers, flicked his tongue along her upper lip, and nipped the bottom one. Then sucked both hard. She nearly came out of her skin. He penetrated her mouth with his tongue. A seductive pulse of slow, then fast. Raking the roof of her mouth, then thrusting deep. He was skilled in kissing. She lost herself in the mating rhythm.”
