it’s paradise when your mouth grazes my skin. when your voice whispers my name. when your eyes say what words cannot. your fingers trace my back, slowly moving from the nape of my neck to the top lacy edge of my dress. there is a zipper that follows my spine, and I feel you thinking about it yet restraining yourself. your long lashes flutter as I put a hand against your chest, nothing but the thin fabric of you suit between us. your eyes are locked on mine, waiting for approval to go just a bit further. if I was uncomfortable you would stop instantly, and it’s because of that I give you a gentle nod. I want you. and I know there isn’t a single part of you that doesn’t want me, I can see it in your eyes, in the soft smile which appears on your face when you catch a glimpse of me. carefully, your fingertips caress my skin, my heart beating faster and my breaths getting heavier. my knees are weak and I will myself to stop shaking as you take the zipper, pulling it lower and lower without breaking your gaze. I didn’t think this would be the day you’d finally confess you want me. I thought it would happen sometime in the future, elsewhere, not so soon, not here and now. the zipper goes as far as it can go, and I feel your shaky breath on my skin and your right hand touches my icy skin. lower. go lower. I inch closer, just barely, as your hand reaches the end of my back, just above my tailbone. your eyes are no longer locked on mine, but on my lips. my mouth is watering for a taste of you. you pull me closer and closer just a tiny bit at a time until I could blink and my eyelashes would graze your nose. the clock ticking is the only sound I hear, besides your deep breaths and the thump my own heartbeat. you’re so close to me. I wish we could stay like this forever. your knee presses into me as you lean me back, your eyes never once leaving my thirsty lips. I close my eyes, the butterflies filling my stomach as you pull me in, agressively yet gently at the same time, pressing your lips on mine and holding me tight. you taste good, sweet like chocolate with a hint of fresh mint. I let your sweet lips consume me, wash over me like a wave washing away the footprints left by past souls. I give you my everything, and you take it without a fuss. I let you take it, because I know you’d give it right back if I only asked. but I won’t ask. I want to sink deeper and deeper into you. deeper and deeper until there is no me, there is no you, there is only us. and we are perfect.
