The morning air in the mountains hangs heavy with dew, causing it to flow out to sea. But in order to get there, some of it has to pass over our bed first. Your impossibly smooth black hair is being tossed by that breeze. Flitting and skittering across my skin. Just on the good side of tickling. The sun just rose. The morning is still cool. The waves are still rhythmically dancing down the shoreline.
I can't see the beach from where I'm laying so I try to slide up the headboard a bit for a view. You stir. Your arch your neck and bring your face to mine. Your chin and lips smell like the pussy of the guest who shared our bed last night. My lips smell like both of yours. She had an engagement this morning so she left just after midnight. This particular moment is a blessing of her having plans. Your head lays heavy on my shoulder. Your hand lays heavy across my ribs. Your leg lays heavy across mine. My fingers are tracing race tracks along the line of the muscle of your thigh. Yours is a body that isn't as much given as built. Not built for vanity, but for the love of movement. I adore it. I'm already anticipating the glistening of the sweat on your neck when you get back from your beach run in an hour. I'm already anticipating kissing that neck and the smell of your hair.
You open your eyes and gaze into mine. The sweetest calm I've seen in you since we got here. You lean up on one hand and stare out at the ocean. It's enchanted, this place. We've talked and fantasized about being here for years. Even when our lives made this seem impossible. I smooth your hair with my fingers and take you in like art. You escape the bed and disappear to the kitchen. I sit up higher in the bed and really soak in the view. The curls of the waves seem to crash in about the same place each time leaving a misty haze just above the sand. Where does it go in the midday?
