Her lips feel bruised and swollen. The passionate kisses from her lover returning from battle are both punishing and exalting. His lips rough from days marching home in the sun, salty and chapped from the sea wind.
Too soon he is gone, leaving an empty ache in her heart. But he will return in time. Time enough to prepare her tender lips.

2 tbsp cocoa butter
2 tbsp calendula-infused oil
1 tbsp jojoba oil
2 drops mandarin essential oil
