Evening, on the third day. You have been free with your smile: sunning the lives of innocent passers-by: irradiating children, and bringing a glow to men and women alike. I love your smile. And, I love when you are free with it. We are walking, now, closer to the spillway. The torrent thunders on, heedless, and the sound insulates us. There is a kind of peace there, in the shared separations. You look out to the thundering cataract, and then back at me.
I can see your arousal, and can know it. You are biting your bottom lip, and not speaking. You smile at me, your dark eyes lighting. I feel struck by a million candlepower; transfixed, I, in the lights of an onrushing locomotive.
You cock your head, and I am seized, and follow, as you lead. You buttocks swim on the current; my mouth watering, as I follow. I quick march, and waylay you, kissing your cheek, nearer the park than the spillway. Looping my arm round your waist, and you, looping yours around my waist… and we sway along the path like drunken sailors.
I stroke your cheek, and smile, you smile back.
You lean in, I follow. And our lips touch; ever-so slight... the touch is electric. Your mouth opens to me, my tongue finds yours: a connection.
mmm
Inquisitive meets tentative. I hug you close, and bend you back as the kiss deepens.
And tentative hazards a question.
Capturing you upper lip and then your lower… teeth (mine) skating on the plush, and then, my tongue separating… exploring.
A high, sharp, moan... like a squeak from you.
Then, I pull away, control slipping with each millimeter of distance. Control owned by you.
You know what they say about squeaky wheels, eh?
You look at me, your brown eyes big and dark, and, "kiss me, again, like that…"
And I... I comply. And yet… this steepling, climbing, never 'again'. Better. Grander. My love growing. My cock.
And I feel your body, tight against me. There is a fracture. And our gazes. You avert your eyes, and I'm holding your hand.
We walk on, as the sun marches lower in the sky.
"Beautiful." Your verdict.
"I emphatically agree." Yet, I am looking straight at you, and, fuck the water.
Your cheeks are peach with reflected light. The peach deepens.
We stop there. Mute witnesses to the receding light and the purple-dark, once-white, river.
My hand lacing fingers with your fingers.
Your fingers… my fingers… our fingers: I kiss each knuckle in turn, and watch you.
You are stalwart. You resist reaction; even as electricity jerks up your arm. And, especially when I kiss your neck… just a tiny flutter on an eyelid to betray you.
I'm holding you now: my hands on your back, my mouth claiming sanctuary in yours.
And the sunlight forgotten.
mmm
This dusk, this dusk...
When I pull back, seeing the sun's death in your eyes. It is so beautiful. Prisoned light, and pools of deep water: there, in your eyes. And there I fall, catching on the lips.
Searing heat, and bracing cold, your body molding to mine.
Yeah!
Do you feel your soft breasts, against my chest and hear, also, two heartbeats? Yours n mine… yours n mine…
Ours.
And hours, we stand there, kissing.
Drinking. Tasting, feeling, flying…
mmm
My hands on your spine, my fingers describing the ridges of vertebra: down, down compass needle. Progression, my hands are firmly gripping your ass.
My lips firmly on yours. You know I want you. I'm with ya, innit. Right beside you. The growl tells it, and the fire down below, fire even the sun could not match… or the rising moon.
Elsewhere, water from the spillway blunders on and Quiet Night sounds indolent; you break from me a little. You look around, blushing, "someone might see… (?)"
"Let them look." My grin impish, my eyes alight, "if they aren't blinded by your beauty, then they deserve to see all that they can."
You favor me with an exasperated expression, shifting from frown to smile.
And then it doesn't matter. Your lips are mine, my hands roving, seeking a home…
And you say, 'touch me,' or you send it psychically. Your body is a convincer… even if I am easily convinced.
My palm trembling on the curve of your ass.
And now the moon, high above.
