When she removed my hand from her chest for the one hundred thousandth time. Attack and defense, invasion and repulsion... it was as if breasts were little pieces of property that had been unlawfully annexed by the opposite sex - they were rightfully ours and we wanted them back.

About This Quote

To be kissed by a woman is one of the greatest feelings in the world. When we kiss we feel like we are two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Kissing a woman is as good as sex, only people don’t often admit this. But is there anything better than sharing your love with a woman? When she removes my hand from her chest for the hundred thousandth time I am overcome with emotion.

I feel as if she knows me so well and I know that she loves me just as much as I love her. The way she kisses passionately and gently shows that she’s not just a person but a piece of property that has been unlawfully annexed by the opposite sex. The way she captures my lips with hers is as if breasts were little pieces of property that had been unlawfully annexed by the opposite sex – they were rightfully ours and we wanted them back.
