She gripped the window frame fiercely and stared blindly out the large window. Her eyes moved without focus to the brilliant summer day before her. Her thoughts swelled through her memory and she bit her lip to prevent the tears that were edging to the surface. Her breathing shallow, she closed her eyes and let a single tear glide down her pale cheek.
Her eyes fluttered open to the hand that slowly rested onto her slacked shoulder. The warm body moved close behind her, hindering her ability to turn to face him. The hand ran up and down her shoulder, not sexual but reassuring. A second hand reached the opposite shoulder and continued in its partner's fashion, and slowly massaged her neck.
She felt his breath against her neck as he softly kissed her shoulder and rested there. She closed her eyes and bit back more tears, as if the touch was torture. His lips moved to her ear and whispered gently, "Please don't cry love. I'm here. I always am."
She kept her face away from the soft lips. A hand caressed her cheek and he held her chin gently, forcing her eyes to rest upon his face. He saw the deep wet eyes and kissed her lips softly, asking for an invitation. She raised an arm around his neck and laid her forehead between his collarbones. He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her close to him.
"I'm here now. Don't you love me?"
She looked up sharply into his eyes, saddened by his question. He looked at her desperately.
"Of course I do. But you..."
He placed a finger to her lips and quieted her.
"It doesn't matter. Not now."
He kissed her again, softer still. She returned his embrace and opened her mouth slightly. He quickly took advantage of her invitation and let his tongue explore. He was met by her tongue and slowly let a smile escape his lips.
When they parted she was smiling and massaging his neck with her fingers.
He quickly kissed her neck and shoulder, his desire obvious by their close embrace. She let her head roll to the side while he kissed. She moaned softly enjoying this act of seduction, which he knew, excited her. He bit her and listened to her gasp, then licked quickly to wash away the pain. She smiled deviously aware of what was to come and he nibbled down across her chest.
She stopped him as he bit through her dress to her hardened nipple. He raised his eyes to her and met her smirk with his own. She held his chin and kissed him deeply, biting his lower lip as she moved away. She kept eye contact and slowly led him to their room.
