I place my first, gentle kiss just below your cheek, and then immediately place another one an inch down. The soft, warm skin on your sensitive neck has been calling to me for months now, begging just these kinds of kisses. I think even you are surprised how immediately your own body reacts to it. My hands are on your hips, and with my face nuzzled against your neck as the trail of gentle kisses leads down toward your shoulder, a part of you is grateful that I can't see your expression. When my little kisses reach the collar of your shirt, I shift direction and give three longer kisses right where my lips can feel the pulse in your neck.
At that, I stop and simply enjoy the contact of my body with yours for a few seconds, and then I pull away. You see that my eyes are closed, but my left hand stays on your hip and with my right hand, I find your left. Then I open my eyes to you and my expression is one of insecurity mixed with happiness. It is that former emotion which causes me to only glance at your eyes, clearly afraid of what I might read in them, but with my hands, I start to draw you further into the room.
With murmured conversation, I ask to take your coat and invite you to leave your shoes next to mine. I don't think you know how much I regret just that short time in which I am not touching you. But soon after, I again have my hands on your hips, and now your hands are on my shoulders. I bend my head and you raise yours for a kiss which is soft but much too short. I try again and am rewarded with a deeper, more intense version of the previous one. With that small encouragement, my arms move around you, bringing your whole body against mine. Again I am rewarded, as your arms curl around my neck, signalling your desire to kiss me longer and more firmly.
As though like seconds, minutes pass in this way, our embraces becoming more ardent and our mouths mutually opening to deeper, tongue-twirling kisses. Neither of us is initiating these advances, for they naturally blossom from us whenever we have let them.
Now, however, one of us needs to take the initiative, and this has typically been my role. At some point in the last several minutes, my hand has found it's way under the back of your shirt. You can't possibly know how every single molecule of my skin screams for contact with any part of yours, and just that contact of my hand on your back brings a festival of pleasure to me. But the desire for more than this is, I think, as strong from you as from me. And so I begin to push your shirt up your body.
Again, I blush with something like gratitude by your helpful response, raising your arms so that I can remove the shirt entirely from you, though ceasing our passionate kisses for that moment produces a pang of something like loneliness. But it also affords me the opportunity to enjoy with my eyes the curves of your breasts and waist, which I have missed so profoundly since we were last together. Nevertheless, my lips come back to yours in strong magnetic fashion at the first opportunity.
At some stage of this process, your hands have begun the same path as mine, and now that process is mirrored by you helping me pull my shirt over my head. The surge of pleasure, joy somehow steps up higher than before, as our bare hands, arms, and now shoulders and stomach come into contact again.
Somehow, in a very far corner of my mind, I know that there are MUCH greater pleasures on the way, but already my heart feels full to bursting with delight, and also relief! What fear I had that we would never be together again, that you did not want me anymore! I would not feel surprised or ashamed if I felt my face wet with tears at this moment.
The next step is obvious and happens almost without thought, and it would have seemed almost as if your bra had simply vanished from your body and, as it turns out, reappeared on the floor with our discarded shirts, except for that breath-catching moment when your outstretched nipples brush, and then are pressed firmly against my chest. By this time, in bursts like this one, our tongues are intertwined without our passionate kisses.
Again, athough it seems like seconds, minutes pass, with each of us enjoying the feel of the other's skin over as much of our own as is possible. Even so, we are moving toward yet higher pleasures that we both know. And to that end, I walk us toward the bed in the next room. Without removing my lips from yours, I sit you on the side, and then lean us both so that you lie mostly on it with me over you, still kissing and enjoying the touch of our chests together.
