She stood leaning against the doorframe, her eyes moving slowly from the window to the bed... Her eyes resting on the rumpled sheets, the rose petals strewn about... Slowly, and with a soft sigh, she turned and slid down to the floor... Pulling her knees up to her chest and leaning her head back against the wood... Closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around herself, she gets lost in her thoughts... Remembering just hours before...
Standing at the window, she watched him walk up to the house... She loved the way he moved... The confident strides... The straight shoulders... Those beautiful eyes taking in all around him... There was no sound as he came in and made his way to her... Knowing the exact moment he stepped into the bedroom, she felt herself tense slightly... He stood by the door watching her for a moment before moving to stand behind her... Looking down on her bent head, he reached out and ran his hands slowly down her arms... The soft, warm touch of his hands causing a sharp intake of breath
As he stood behind her, his eyes never wavering from her bent head, he placed his hands over hers... Entwining their fingers, he brought her arms up across her chest and pulled her back against him... She melted back into his body, laying her head against his shoulder... Closing her eyes, she loses herself in him... The way his arms hold her, the way his body feels pressing into hers, the feel of his heartbeat against her back... She loosened her hands from his and turned in his arms... As she looked up into the green depths of his eyes, she felt his arms tightening around her... They stood like that for countless minutes... Content to hold, to be held and merely look into the depths of each otherβs eyes
He kept his eyes on hers as he slowly lowered his head... She slid her arms up around his neck, her eyes moving down to his mouth... As his lips brushed softly against hers, his hands moved down over her and lifted her up into his arms... She sighed against his lips as her body was cradled lovingly to his... She turned her head and nuzzled her face into the warm contour of his neck as he turned from the window... As his eyes came to rest on the bed, a slow smile formed on his lips... He leaned his head softly against hers and whispered a very soft "beautiful" into her ear... Knowing of what he spoke, and glad the rose petals on the bed pleased him, she smiled
