The candle on the table flickers, and the light catches your wedding ring. Just enough of a sparkle to break my concentration and remind me how illicit this is.
The bar is cool. Underground. It looks like the sort of place you might find live music on a busier night and a drag cabaret once a month. Long banks of soft half-booths around the wall, and a cocktail list too long for them all to be made with expertise. It's quiet and private now though. My only issue is it's too dark to properly enjoy your eyes.
Watching you walk to the bathroom before was a treat. I wanted so badly to follow you, throw you up against the wall and make out hard with you. And your smile back at me as you crossed floor hinted you may have been thinking the same.
Conversation flows as easily as the wine and your laugh is just as intoxicating. I live for the gentle touches of my hand, arm or leg that punctuate it.
We both know that pause. It's not as much awkward as anticipatory. We know what's coming and meet each other halfway. Your lips are so soft and full against mine, matching each other's movements in unspoken dance. My hand snakes under your hair, cupping the side of your head as we kiss more deeply. Time seemingly stands still. Lost in each other and the moment.
You break our connection but only slightly; our faces still close enough to feel each other's warmth. Half-lit by the candle, you are a masterpiece. A sculpture carved from marble made human. We smile at each other and both let out a soft, nervous giggle.
I feel you against my lips once more, though this time it's the soft skin when your neck and jaw meet. A soft gasp tells me I've found my mark as my hand slips from your knee past the hem of your dress. Your thigh is radiating heat;Β your skin almost creamy. My hand traces further along, matching my lips moving down your neck. I stop to drag the back of my nails against your opposite thigh which sends shudders through your body.
My mouth returns to yours as my fingertips find the lace of your underwear. I lightly run them across the material, trying to divine how they might look. I feel the warmth emanating from you as I press my hand more firmly against you through your underwear. Your mouth becomes hungrier and more urgent as you shuffle your legs slightly wider, welcoming me to explore you.
