Even though you've been waiting for me to arrive the sound of the doorbell startles you. The memories of our late night telephone calls and the promise of what could be to come have distracted you and the doorbell triggers a surge of anticipation deep in your gut.
I'm standing on the other side of the door feeling my belly tighten. I've been in an insane state of arousal for days. Now that we are only seconds away for meeting face to face a flush rises to my neck and cheeks.
The door opens and there you stand, smiling at me. I only have a hazy sense of the rest of you; I'm lost in your eyes, locked on mine.
You reach out and take my hand; the first touch sends a little electric thrill through you. You pull me into your home. My hand is warm in yours.
I reach up and place my palm on your cheek. We haven't spoken yet but there's no rush; we've said all that needs to be already.
It's too much. You lean down and gather me into you with your other arm, not willing to let go of my hand. My palm leaves your face and circles your neck as you pull me towards you. We hold each other close, sharing air, still locked on each other's eyes.
I can't breathe. I close my eyes first and tilt my mouth up to yours, knowing already that your lips will be soft. The first kiss makes me sigh; the second makes me moan. Your lips change shape and I can feel you smiling.
You release me long enough to pull me further into the room and close the door behind me.

We've been talking for what seems like a few minutes but has already been hours. We've shifted position on the couch many times. Sometimes we sit facing each other and holding hands or I've leaned back against you and you've held me from behind. We touch constantly, hands, fingers, lips, stroking, caressing, kissing. Once, when you leaned over to pick something up and your hand brushed my breast I lost my train of thought and you chuckled. Your rich, sexy chuckle; it made it even harder to remember what I had been saying.
It doesn't matter what I was saying now; I reach over, take your coffee cup and set it down. It's time. I pull you to your feet. And step back.
