You know that feeling when someone kisses you and the world stops?
I'm talking about a fairytale, rom com level kiss. Where you only get to see the good hot parts and then the movie ends and you don't actually know whether everything ended up in a dumpster fire of resentment and bad decision. Or not.
Last night, I got a kiss like that, on the street after we parked our cars before going into my apartment.
I wish my fingers could properly expel the words to express the sensations my whole being felt during that kiss, and after when the kiss turned into so much more...
I'll try anyway.

The street lamp's glow filters through the palm tree fronds, bathing our faces in lines and angles as he assuredly steps up to me and pulls me to him. Grabbing the back of my head, he clenches a fistfull of my hair at the base of my skull and pulls my head back, hard enough that I let out a gasp, then almost a whimper as his mouth meets mine with the same level of intensity as the fingers kneading themselves into my skull.
That is when the world stops.
As his hands control my head and neck, my mind becomes so calm it would make any zen buddhist proud. His tongue flicks against my lips and then his teeth join in. I wrap my arms around his waist, and snake my hands under his shirt and sweater and down just below his belt line so I can grasp his hips and pull him closer. Hips close, he is leaning over me, still devouring my mouth; my body arching to meet the angle.
With one more passionate press of our lips and bodies he releases me.
"Hey," he says through his upturned mouth.
"Well, hi there," I say with a woozy smile, straightening up, head angled still to look into his grinning eyes.
"Where are we? What's happening?" I joke as we start to walk up the hill to my apartment, hand in hand, swaying slightly with a drunkenness that comes only from a passionate kiss.
Through the gate and up the stairs, we cross the desert jungle of plants to enter my house. My roommate is sleeping, I explain, as we quietly enter and I give him a very quick tour in a whisper.
Once in my room we both start taking off our shoes as I awkwardly make excuses for my clean laundry piled up on the chair in the corner, and the boxes from my recent and upcoming move piled in front of my desk. I realize I'm nervously talking. But then his hands are on my body again and I forget all about the clothes and the boxes. He grasps the back of my skull, this time with both hands, engulfing my head with his hands to bring my face to his. I stand on my tippy toes because the wedge boots I had on have come off, and the pressure of his mouth and the feeling of his body pressing against mine is turning down the dial on the activity in my brain.
My legs hit the side of the bed and with a push I'm on my back. I lean back and stretch, thinking to myself how my breasts look better, perkier, when I'm extended. Before my self-conscious brain can take these thoughts any further he's back in my vision, kneeling on the bed to the side of me, this time with his hands on the buttons of my jeans.
"May I?" he asks.
"You may" I say, stomach fluttering with the way he asked for consent with such ease even though I know he knows I want him to ravish me. I'm sure he can see the desire in my eyes, smell it through my pores.
My black jeans and black lace thong are stripped off of me in an instant. My brain starts developing a stupid joke about how he wasn't wasting any time by taking them both off at once but thankfully his mouth saves me from myself. I am once again devoured by him, this time with expert level flickers of his tongue on my clit that make my eyes roll in the back of my head, and my back arch. My legs are up in the air, his hands pushing back on my hamstrings, exposing every bit of me as he feasts while I let out another groan/whimper combination.
I'm in my head tonight. It's hard for me to fully let go quickly even though the sensations feel amazing. I need more to get me out of my head and fully into my body. Thankfully he has no plans to stop there.
When he comes up for air, I sit up on my knees and lean forward to quickly take his face in my hands, catching some of his dreads in the process. I kiss his wet mouth, tasting me on him. Groans escape both our lips.
"I forgot to ask you to bring a condom," I say as we pull away. "Because the ones I have might not fit you."
