A Night Of Empty Intimacy

I met Sarah at a gallery opening last month, and we've been seeing each other casually ever since. Tonight was different though. I wanted more than casual. We started with gentle kisses in my apartment. Then she took off her clothes and so did I. Her breasts were soft against mine as our tongues explored. But the deeper touch never came. She held back, pulling away before things went too far. In the end, we just cuddled naked, unsatisfied. It felt hollow and lonely.
