First Kiss

It was an incredibly hot and humid day in August, the two of us standing there in the front room of her apartment. The air was stagnant and the room was stifling. The sweet aroma of her perfume was subtle but enticing, like an aphrodisiac drawing me nearer to her. The glow of the sunlight made every curve of her face glisten. I was captivated by the depths of passion I could see in her emerald eyes.

The room grew hotter as we ran out of words to say. I became even more nervous with each bead of sweat that ran down my face and neck. We stood there within the awkward silence between us. We both knew what we wanted to happen, but would it?

Standing there staring at her and wondering if she wanted me as much as I wanted her. I could see the excitement in her eyes as I placed my arms at her sides and pulled her to me. She looked up at me with anticipation as I leaned into her. I panicked, turned my head and hugged her instead, and felt her body go limp with disappointment. I knew at that moment that if I let go, her and I would never be.

I took a deep breath and leaned my head back just enough to look into her eyes. For that brief moment I felt as if I was staring into the eyes of an angel sent to show me what love could be like. I closed my eyes and kissed her. Our hearts are now forged into one love that will make our souls complete.

Placing my hand behind her head I pulled her towards me as I kissed her again. She winced for a moment when I closed my hand within her hair, pulling on it firmly. She moaned with acceptance as our passion became wild and torrid as we dug our nails into each other. Was it pain that we felt or the rush of our love out of control. I embrace her so tightly I worried as if I might hurt her. I relaxed just slightly and felt her pull me closer.

Her kisses were like the first bite of an over ripe peach. As your lips first touch you begin to feel the tenderness of the soft supple skin. Pushing deeper your senses are enthralled with a sweetness that fills your mouth. The warmth and depth of that first taste drives your mind to heights unimaginable. Your heart races and you need to breath but you refuse to pull away, not wanting to waste a single drop. You push in again for another and then another, feeling as if you could never get your fill of her kisses.

Only her kiss could quench this thirsty heart and fill my soul with love.
