"Let's go."
It was all he'd said as he took her hand, grabbed her purse and took her out the door. They both climbed into the car, the grin on his face made her wonder what in the world he was up to this time. He'd had this weird habit lately of surprising her with car trips that took them to odd destinations. It was all cloak and dagger until they'd arrive at the destination he had in mind for them. She'd learned quickly not to ask where they were going as he would never answer her anyway. He would just turn to her and give her that annoying "I know something you don't know" grin.
He was a hopeful romantic. Hopeful sounds so much better than hopeless, as his recent antics were his way of keeping the romance alive in their relationship. Between kids, work, family and other obligations it often seemed near to impossible to keep the romance alive. This was his new ritual to keep it alive and to focus only on their relationship. It wasn't unusual, at this point, for him to do these little romantic trips, but she sensed something was a little different this time. He was more giddy than usual, almost full of himself.
Angel studied his features as he drove. She'd memorized every line and every scar on his face. The crystal blue of his eyes seemed lighter than normal during the summers, when his face was tan. His tan arms, the softness of his skin. With his job one would have expected him to have coarse skin, rough to the touch, contrary to what one would expect, his skin was soft. She loved watching him, seeing his focus. It was one of the many areas of personality that they did not dovetail. He could easily focus, her brain was like a plinko machine, random, at best. She studied him much more often than he was aware of.
Their natures were very different, probably the defining reasons behind their ability to maintain an excellent balance in their relationship. He was spiritual, emotional, she had the tendency to be scientific, analytical and often times, cold and unemotional. Combined they were the perfect mix of fire and ice, science and faith, peace and war. Physically, when they came together the passion was unbearable. Both losing self control, their passion spiraling into places she never knew existed!
She realized she's lost herself in her own thoughts again and realized they were driving up a slight incline in a wooded area. She didn't recognize the area at all, though that was not unusual for her. She hadn't done much exploring of the area since she's moved there, but in recent months, his antics included showing her the beauty and majesty that was the prairie and the mountains around her. He slowed their car, pulling up to a clearing and stepped from the vehicle. She watched him come around the front of the car and meet her as she opened her door.
Her heart raced when his hand reached for hers. Even after the amount of time they'd been together, her heart still raced when he touched her, when he kissed her her knees still went weak. She'd never believed it when people told her that after years in a relationship the sparks could still fly. It had never happened to her before so at times, she lost herself in the thought that this was the first real relationship she'd ever had. And, that alone made her very self conscious about her past failings.
His arms slid around her waist as she turned to close the door. Her heart always raced when he came up behind her. His warm breath on the back of her neck, the feeling of his warm hands encircling her body. Instinctively, she leaned back against him, her head laying back against his chest to hear his heart beat.
She felt his hardness against her ass and couldn't resist the urge to press her ass harder against him. His teeth suddenly bit ever so slightly into the back of her neck causing a slight moan to escape her lips. With that, he turned her around quickly and pushed her hard against the car, his hands grasping hers and holding them behind her as his lips pressed to hers. The Universe exploded with life as their tongues met in a fiery passion she felt in every cell of her body.
Her mind racing with a million thoughts, from why in the world this man was with her, to why she'd never felt like this with anyone else. As if he could sense her mind racing, he pulled away and studied her. Brushing her bangs from her face to look into her eyes. He looked deep into her eyes as if seeing her soul laid out for him, like he could read every thought, every fear. His eyes twinkled as he smiled, mischief screaming from behind his eyes.
