He is warm behind me, and there is something beautiful in the warmth. A sense of comfort and trust that I haven't known in a lover before. We aren't touching, our bodies are separated by the smallest of spaces. But that space is where the excitement lives, and it is alive with some energy that I can't quite describe. A calm, patient desire for each other. It feels easy, almost inevitable.
I feel his breath, warm on the back of my neck. In and out. And I feel the energy between us shift as he gently places his hand on my upper arm, warm and anticipatory, but maintaining still that comfort and ease. My eyes are closed but I can feel the golden light that spills from the lamps in my apartment, can almost see it dancing through my eyelids. The rug under my bare feet is soft, and my toes push just the slightest bit more firmly to the ground as he plants a kiss on my neck, just under my ear. I lean back, closing the space between our bodies, and his chin grazes the top of my head as I find his hands with mine. His skin is soft against mine where our hands meet, his body is warm against me through the fabric of our clothes. We are so simple like this, without words.
I guide his hands to my button-down shirt and he quietly begins to unbutton it. He moves slowly, with calm, easy breaths. I can feel him growing hard against me, and I press myself closer to him. His exhale catches his voice, a sound of contentment at the closeness stirring in him as his hands undo the last button of my shirt. He wraps his arms around me, finding my hands with his and slowly presses his lips to my neck, and again. His breath is on my skin and his hands let go of mine, gently pulling my shirt by the collar over my shoulders and down my arms until it falls to the ground. I feel his hands move from my wrists where they linger for a moment, to my hips, pulling me gently into him.
His hands move up the bare skin of my sides, and pause at the clasp of my bra, which falls to the floor. And then his hands slide around to cup my breasts as he continues softly kissing my neck. I feel him against me, around me, his warm hands move over my nipples gently, arousing a wanting ache in the rest of my body. We stay that way for a while, him exploring my breasts and kissing my neck, until I turn to face him, look him in the eye, and then press my lips to his. His hands fall to my waist, and I place mine against his chest. I can feel his breathing quicken as I run my hands down to his waist band, unbutton his pants, and catch his hand in mine as I pull away from the kiss and lead him toward the bed.
We are both breathing heavily as we draw our bodies close together again, both half way undressed. I make quick work of my own pants, tossing them to the side, and pulling his soft cotton tee shirt over his head. I sit on the edge of the bed and he comes and sits next to me. We are kissing again, his hands both holding my face, and mine pulling my underwear off. We are holding each other, and my blood is pounding in my ears as his fingers brush the inside of my thigh, and keep searching. He finds the lips of my pussy, caresses it. And when his fingers brush my clit, I am flooded with the delirious wash of endorphins that accompany his touch of my most sensitive place.
