The house is very quiet when you come through the front door. But you know I am there.
The scent of my skin is still on your hands from this morning, as you pass your cool fingers under your nose and breathe deeply. You smile to yourself for a moment, remembering the sleepy smile I gave you as you kissed me awake.
As you walk down the hall towards our bedroom there is a moment of doubt in your mind as you wonder to yourself if you have made as big an impression on me as I have on you. Your doubts, however, are immediately put to rest as you glimpse me from behind our partially closed bedroom door. Instantly you freeze when you realise I am not aware of your presence.
The dying rays of the setting sun filter through the window, capturing the auburn of my hair as it falls in soft curls down my back, the whiteness of my skin, the curve of my hips, the swell of my breasts. I am completely naked and you see me in profile facing our bed. You wonder what has captured my focus and as I reach for your gray T-shirt so carelessly discarded by you this morning and left at the foot of our bed, your question is answered. As I bring it to my face and breathe deeply your scent, your doubts are erased.
I slip your shirt over my head instantly surrounded by you. You spy the smile that comes to my lips as I playfully fall back on our bed bouncing back up twice before lying still. Our bed is freshly made and our duvet only seconds ago perfectly smooth now bares witness to my T-shirt encased body and the indentation it left behind me. You laugh quietly to yourself (not wanting to alert me to your presence) as a pillow tumbles down over my head, moved no doubt from your side of the bed after my fall. Your laughter, however, dies in your throat when I take your pillow and hold it against my cheek. In that one small gesture you see the depth of feeling I have for you, the need in me to be close to you, always.
I roll over onto my stomach, my head still resting on your pillow. As I do this the hem of your shirt works it's way up and you are given a glimpse of my buttocks. You have the pleasure/curse of knowing how they feel under the caress of your fingers. Your tongue, your lips, your hands, know every inch of my body oh so well. All your senses have experienced me as indeed mine have you.
I rise from our bed then and cross my hands over the hem of your T-shirt drawing it back over my head before tossing it into the clothes hamper just inside the en suite. Naked once again I walk to your dresser. You are surprised when I reach for the cologne you were wearing when we made love last night, I spray some between my breasts before returning the bottle to its place on your dresser. Your eyes follow the curve of my spine then dart to my face, reflected in the mirror. My eyes do not give away what I am feeling but you know now that within my heart there exists love for you, within my soul there is a concern for you, a strong desire to see you reach your place to be.
I reach for a clip and pin my hair up off my neck. Our eyes meet in the mirror and lock. Not a word is exchanged as I make my way over to you and plant the softest kiss on your moist lips. You start to say something but I kiss your words away. Holding you by your hands I draw you into our bedroom raining a continuous stream of loving kisses all over your face and neck as I pull you towards me. I remove your coat and shirt first and then kneel down at your feet and remove your shoes and socks. You look somewhat bemused when I do not reach for your belt buckle and instead push you down into the arm chair we have by our window. When I move away from you, you make as if to rise but I move forward again and gently push you back down. With a smile for your warm cheek and a kiss for your naked shoulder I whisper "Wait, My Darling!" before slowly backing away.
