"Sh, sh, sh!" She whispers harshly through a bubble of laughter. Her nerves make her giddy, they make her fingers tremble against my back as she rushes me to finish picking the lock.
I give a small smile, which she can't see and return my attention and frustration to the task before me. My fingers would much rather be working away the buttons of her loose-fitting pink blouse. Instead they clash against cold, rusty metal.
My impatience grows with each passing second. Suddenly I feel her body press against mine. "Hurry baby," she purrs into my ear. Heat rises over me in a rolling wave, with my hips following, and then subsides as quickly as it had come on. If I had any hopes of reigniting that fire it came at the cost of busting this lock.
"God." I breathe out.
"Hurry Jess, I need you to touch me."
I bite my lower lip. Fuck.
By some divine miracle, or as if my will itself has manifested, the lock pops open. Hastily I slip it from its place and push open the gate. Relief floods through me, and Abby laughs as we hurry onto the field.
The air is crisp and cool now that our body heat isn't dancing on top of each other. My head seems clearer and I wish for that dizzying feeling that her closeness always brings.
Even though this area of the park is smaller than the rest, the field seems giant when it's deserted. My heart starts to pound against my chest. Here we are. I take a moment to calm myself, inhaling deeply and letting my eyes relax at the sight of stars, my shoulder length hair tickling my back as I look up.
Abby's hand laces with mine and my heart beat quickens again. So much for calm. I dare a glance over at her. She's smiling. Her lips are gently curved upward, her face angelic, but there's the slightest hint of expectance in her eyes and I feel myself drawn in. Her eyes are so dilated that you can see the difference between her pupil and her dark brown irises. An almost full moon is reflected in them. Her lips part and a small cloud of her breath hangs between us. For the briefest moment everything is still. Everything is serene.
Suddenly as if all of life has snapped back into existence, I am surrounded by warmth. Her warmth. Her tongue a sharp contrast to the ice of my lips. But my body responds. Slowly I heat up. Slowly I melt. Even though every movement feels like it's paced out by the millisecond.
