as i walk over to the bed, i know that it's your smile that always gets to me, your smile that reels me in every time. you've turned off the overhead, and the only light is that of the lamp, which casts a gentle play of shadows on everything in the room. this creates a warmth that makes me take off my sweater before laying down on the bed beside you. you ask me about my day, and we chat for a few minutes. we talk with an ease that is rare; no frills, no second thoughts. something catches your eye on the tv, and you grab the remote to turn up the volume. i move over and lay my head on your shoulder. i close my eyes for a moment because i'm tired and it feels so good to just...be. i listen to your breathing as you take your arm and put it around me. you pull me closer and i take several deep breaths. i open my eyes and begin to trace the pattern on your shirt with my fingers. you smell so good, that i can't help but want something more. i unbutton your shirt just a little...enough to get my hand inside. your chest is firm and i can feel your heart beating. i move my head to look up at you, and i'm not sure we know where this is going. you lean down to kiss me and it's gentle. soft. no sense of urgency as we adjust to each other. my hand is still on your chest, but your hand moves down to my lower back. you caress me as we kiss, applying just enough pressure. you taste sweet, but that doesn't surprise me. you are a big fan of chocolate, always with some readily at hand. i like that you take your time to explore my mouth. i deepen the kiss, wondering how far we will take this. you answer my question as you pull me on top of you.
