Hesitated seconds of breath with lips barely touching. Breathing in as they collide with passionate exchange. Tongues explore and articulate wordless desire. Fingertips trace from behind the ear, down the neck...one finger added at a time as they run along supple flesh to the collarbone, hand making full contact to the chest, finding the beat of pounding heart. Another hand crawls from waist to shoulder, up along carotid with synchronizing beats of the heart, up into hair where fingers spread and grasp with intentioned pull. And so it the challenge shall begin... Though it seems we both win.
