We had spoken in hushed, sorrowful tones on the phone. The bitterness that had torn us apart these last few days had ripped our hearts asunder. Last night, we had said our sorries. We said "I love you." We cried, having lost the last two days to hurtful, spiteful pride. When we hung up, it was decided you were coming to see me. My new apartment I had told you was sparse. But both of us knew we needed to be together. We cleared our schedules for the next week, and you set out on Sunday for my apartment.
You arrive and I am sitting on the curb, waiting for you. I come to you, you slide out of your car, and we meet, hugging, holding onto each other. I whisper in your ear "I love you, I am so sorry." You shake your head, eyes closed, not wanting to let the last two days come into your mind. I help you remove your things from the trunk and we go up to my humble apartment. As soon as we get in the door, I drop your bag and turn to you, wanting you in my arms again. You have the same thought and we hug again, both of our eyes brimming with tears. I kiss your cheek softly; you rub your skin on mine. I take your hand and draw you into the room. You see I've done the best with what I could.
Since I have no fireplace, I laid out some candles burning close together and laid a blanket in front of them. I draw you with me to the blanket and we sit, embracing one another. I reach into a basket, more like a bucket, beside the blanket. I pull out a bottle, not champagne, but a nice white wine. I pour us each a goblet and slowly we drink, and then kiss softly. The love between us is felt in our lips, passion and hunger for each other. We set the wine down, and I face you, hugging you so closely, feeling you against me. Slowly, I rise to my feet, and take your hand. I hold you close to me, and some soft music starts, piano. Slowly, I begin to move, you with me. We dance, feeling one another in our arms. I look at you and gaze into your eyes. They flicker in the candlelight. You close your eyes, and lean against me. I reach for you.
My lips brush the flesh of yours. My arms go around your waist, pulling you closer to me. We hold one another, kissing and hugging, feeling each other, being with one another. We kiss again, slowly exploring each otherβs mouth, our tongue caressing each other. I look into your eyes again, our desire growing, we squeeze one another tighter. You reach for my shirt, untucking and pulling it in one swift motion, over my head. You trace your fingernails over my chest, and I breathe heavily. We sink to the blanket together. I slowly put my hand on your leg, caressing it, taking the zipper to your pants in my hand, but not pulling it down. You see my love for you in my eyes as I see it mirrored in yours. Your hand guides my movements as I slowly unzip your pants and help you remove them, along with your shoes.
Our lips make contact again, as I reach for your shirt, pulling your green sweater over your head. I pull away, caressing your face with two fingers. I lower my head, kiss you through your bra, then return to your face, placing small gentle kisses on your cheeks, lips, and neck, sucking gently. I kiss my way to your breasts and you undo the clasp at the back and the bra falls away. You run your fingers through my hair as I kiss your delicate flesh. Slowly, I take your nipples into my mouth, sucking and nibbling on them gently. Your breaths become more and more labored, as do mine. Your hands fall to my belt, loosening it, and unbuttoning my pants. I bring my head up to kiss you, caressing your body. You help me in removing my pants and shoes; I push you down gently so you are lying on the soft blanket.
