Stepping into our gently lit bedroom I take a deep breath slowly, it smells of vanilla and roses, and the remnants of you. I sip my wine from the heavy crystal glass; bitter tonight, but still sweet. Deep satin covers line the mattress on the back wall, untouched from daybreak and your impression; pillows lay scattered near a mahogany headboard that holds our secrets and whispers of the night. I look around slowly taking everything in, your belongings so untouched. A tear slips from my from my poignant blue eye, down a porcelain cheek and onto hardwood floors that graced your feet. Nearly sensing your hands on my shoulders I hold my breath, moments pass and I finally let the air from my lungs escape, it hurts, as my chest grows heavy.
Walking to my dresser, I put my hands on it and lean forward, strawberry blonde hair falls loosely on my flushed features, looking up I barely notice as a distorted vision of myself stares back, and I never see the tears but feel my eyes burn and that's enough. I smear them from my face and drink the last of the wine hastily. Pulling open a drawer, I pick up a silk nightgown; pink with ivory lace, you loved this one.
I slowly unfasten my cream blouse, it falls gingerly to the floor and gray dress pants soon follow. My hands, gracefully remove a white lace bra, I slowly begin to pull down the edges of the corresponding panties. I gaze at myself now, an image of Eden, admiring what your hands have loved. Slipping the pink silk over my head and closing my eyes I imagine you standing at the back of me smiling in content, for a brief moment I am relieved. Only, I open them to the reflection of an empty room behind me.
My finger traces the mauve walls as I saunter to the bed; "I have loved you here," I sigh to myself softly. Reaching the bed before long, I stare at it intently, before disturbing the past. Crawling to my place, laying on my side I rest one hand where you would have been. Curling my other arm under my head and bringing my legs to my chest I feel much like a child, so incapable and mystified. My arm stretches out for you, but finds your pillow instead and pulls it into me; it's soft, your musky smells linger on it and my heart breaks again.
The wine has dulled the hurt slightly and I sense I drank too much; its aroma hangs on my lips now swollen due to tears. I drift gradually, slipping into sleep, my head falters as I try and resist letting today go to the abandoned night. Eyelids struggle to stay open, except they now begin close against my will, letting go of the light.
I welcome every moment as my figure lays motionless on the duvet, a stature of torment. My thoughts are filled with you and fall into dreams, or perhaps you've just come to ease my soul.
Abruptly I'm lying beneath your weight, and I look up into your auburn eyes; chills run down my arms, seeing your desire. Your strong features look nearly angelic tonight; thick, dark hair cradles a tanned face, high cheekbones and a prominent jaw line clench in anticipation, my finger runs along smooth lips then slips behind your neck and gently pulls you down to me.
Your tongue carefully traces my mouth, parting my lips to explore me. A moan escapes me and you respond, kissing me harder and deeper. I hold you, afraid to let go but you pull your lips from mine softly kissing my neck leaving a trail of chills at every inch. Your tongue swirls on tingling flesh and I sigh with a smile. Your kisses continue to my collarbone, you gently bite there knowing what affects it will have. Dropping your head down to my breast and you kiss is affectionately, avoiding the already protruding buds. Your tongue again starts sending chills through me as it caresses under my breast and leisurely works its way up to my nipple.
Your mouth encases it and you begin to suckle. Groaning, my back arches to meet your wanting mouth and you begin to flick my sensitive bud with your tongue, softly biting and then slowly releasing it. I look down to see you smile and move over to my other awaiting flesh. As you work your mouth over it, your hands lightly touch me, running along my abdomen, pressing me harder into the soft blankets; you know how to make me want you.
