It wasn't like kissing Lily. It'd felt so innocent and so pure when that had happened. This appealed to baser instincts. Severus felt a rush of warmth invade his body, his hands moving to grip firmly at Alecto's arms and mouth working awkwardly against her's to deepen the kiss. He let his tongue touch her lips and breach them, licking softly at what it found behind her teeth.
Was this why they said you never forgot your first? The weird need to compare feelings and sensations, even needs? His eyes closed and he kissed her harder, his hands moving up to the girl's shoulders, thumbs tugging slightly at the collar of her feminine blouse.
He wasn't saving himself for Lily anymore. There was no such thing as perfect love, if love at all, but this was plenty acceptable. Alecto felt so warm and she tasted... sweet, but earthy, and he was sure he liked the difference now, because Lily was suddenly the last thing on his mind.
