I look at her intently. My words fail. they're too imprecise, I don't like them. I don't have enough of them or the right ones to tell her what I'm feeling. So I decide no words for tonight. She starts to ask what's wrong, I brush fingers over her lips to silence her. She cocks her head and looks at me to ask what's wrong, but I just shake my head a little and lace my fingers with hers, palm to palm. My brain quickly flashes back to grade school games of 'mercy' and for a moment I wonder if all this will make me beg for a mercy in one form or another. She swings her arms a little and shrugs, confused, unsure what I want or need, what I'm trying to tell her. I draw her in close, slowly backing her towards a wall, lightly squeezing her hands with mine, thumbs gliding up and down palms and lightly over wrists. she closes her eyes as I step in close, leaving less than an inch between us, lifting and bending her arms to move her hands up and behind her head so I can brush fingers through her hair and catch her scent. her perfume and shampoo, my cologne mix together, complimenting and contrasting. I breathe warmly against her neck, she murmurs softly for me.
I glide thumbs softly on the back of her neck as I lean in and lift my face to brush my lips delicately over her forehead, down to her cheek; phantoms of kisses that don't quite fully form. I nuzzle her cheek softly, pausing a few moments to to just stand with her, breathing slowly and and lightly squeezing hands, alternating between left and right with my heartbeat. She shivers just a little and flutters her thumbs against my hands as I glide lightly down her neck, brushing lips and the stubble of my chin against her neck. I bite very softly just above her collar bone. She shivers a moment, then squeezes my hands and gives a slight push. I step back to look her in the eyes and find her with a smoldering look.
She gives me a devilish smile, then licks and lightly bites her lower lip, turning our hands out and around, bringing our fingers to the lowest button of her blouse. we fumble with attempts to unbutton a few moments before I break the lowest button. She gasps softly and squeezes my hands firmly, chastising about her shirt. she moves close again and stands on her toes to softly kiss my lower lip and removes the rest of the buttons with her nimble fingers, my hands pulled back to leave just fingertips between the base of her fingers and me distracted with her mouth on my lip.
The shoulder of her blouse slips down one shoulder and she's got the disheveled look down perfect. I gaze for a few moments, entranced by her cleavage revealed and framed by her open shirt and satiny bra. she squeezes my fingers sharply and rolls her eyes a little; the message is clear:
yes, I know they're fantastic, but you should really focus right now
.
I pull her close, raise my left arm, lower my right and loosen my hold on her hands to spin her into my arms so I'm facing her back, then pull her arms a little, keeping them crossed under her breasts to squeeze her body just a little. she starts to giggle, but I brush beard stubble of my cheek down her ear, cheek and the side of her neck grumbling softly. She rewards my efforts with tight squeeze and hold on my hands and a very subtle shiver.
I slip my hands up her forearms towards her elbows as we nuzzle back and forth against one another. she mews softly as I press myself against her so she can feel my need.
I reluctantly release her arms/hands and move to face her. We try to watch one each others eyes as fumble with anticipation, clumsily removing clothes. I'm not quite sure how she manages to be so much faster with getting naked but she watches me with a crooked smile as I manage to step out of the messy pile of fabrics I've created on the floor. She moves close again and takes my hands with hers the same way we started, apparently enjoying the game. she squeezes firmly and rocks her wrists forward to bend mine back just a little, pushing me back towards the recliner.
you. are. mine
. she says with her hands.
