It was chilly for mid-September and I was glad that I had packed lots of blankets. While you were getting dinner from the ice chest in the car, I went to work arranging pillows and sheets and blankets in the small tent we had just finished setting up. You came back and we decided to collect wood for a fire together.
We headed down a narrow trail and began to look for dry stick that would easily ignite. As I walked behind you, I caught the scent of the cologne you had worn to work that day. It was such a contrast to smell you the way you smell in a shirt and tie and see you in t-shirt and hiking boots. I felt a tingle at the base of my neck and I wondered which of the two was affecting me more.
You suddenly looked at me and must have seen something in my eyes because you gave me that slow smile that tells me you know what I'm thinking. You walked over and took the sticks I was carrying. You laid them with yours on the ground and put your hand on either side of my face, pulling me towards you for a kiss. The feeling of your warm lips on mine and your tongue filling my mouth still had a way of making my knees weak.
