"Tease"

A single candle glows by the bedside.

A slight breeze from the open window fills the room with an elusive fragrance.

The bed is made up with freshly laundered red satin sheets.

Raven hair lays fanned out against the pillow.

Her almond shaped eyes are closed.

Her lips in a slight pout.

One hand is tucked under her pillow above her head.

The other hand resting comfortably across her abdomen.

One leg is stretched, toes pointed toward the end of the bed.

The other leg, knee crooked slightly.

A soft sigh causes the flame to flicker.

Shadows shift slowly, as if caressing her naked form.

She shifts slightly as a weight moves onto the mattress beside her.

Eyes flutter for a moment, showing a glimpse of honey.

He holds his breath, not wanting to wake her just yet.

She whispers his name sleepily as her eyes close again.

He smiles as he watches her.

His eyes slide along her curves.

Carefully he stands again, moving to the far side of the room.

A soft rustle of fabric as his clothes fall to the ground.

He stands above her for a long moment, hesitant.

She is peaceful in sleep, serene.

The essence that is her lurks just beneath the surface.

He smiles, stretching out beside her.

Their bodies are inches apart.

Lightly he runs his fingertips along the curve of her hip.

Gently he brushes the hair away from her face.

He leans forward, pressing his lips against hers.

His hand cups her breast possessively.

She sighs, arching into him, lips parting.

Her eyes flutter again.

A hand touches his arm, moves up to his shoulder.

The kiss deepens, tongues caressing.

Her fingertips move across the back of his neck, then up along his stubbly scalp.

He purrs, a soft rumble in the depths of his chest.

She squirms, pressing herself against him.

Her pale skin glows against his darker tone.

His lips move to her breast, closing over nipple.

His hand slowly travels downward to cup her mons.

Her legs part slightly, hips shift and twist encouragingly.

His soft laugh against her breast.

Her breathless whimper.

His fingers explore, teasing along the edge of her opening.

Thumb moving in tiny circles without ever touching that sensitive bit of flesh.

Her tongue slides along his scalp.

He shivers.

His fingers slip inside.

His thumb presses.

She moans.

Her hand trails down his back to his hip, then forward.

Her fingers cup his sac.

His lips trace her collar bone, moving along her throat.

Her hand wraps around his length, squeezing lightly.

Her voice, breathless with need. "Please..."

He nuzzles the place behind her ear. "Please?"

She squeezes again. "Don't tease...

His hand pulls away.

Wet fingers are placed against her lips.

Her tongue swirls around his fingertip before it is taken away.

He licks the taste of her from his own fingers, then kisses her.

"I need you..." Her hand tugs at him lightly.

He raises up on one elbow.

Pushes her back against the pillows.

Moves between her thighs.

Eyes gleam in the darkness as he looks down at her.

"What do you need?" He smiles.

He catches her hands, holding them above her head.

He presses himself against her, waiting.

She whimpers.

He watches the flush rise in her cheeks.

He smiles.

"I need..."

His head tilts to the side slightly.

"I need your love..."

He blinks.

He enters her slowly, drawing the moment into eternity.

Her hips rise against him.

He releases her hands.

Her arms move to encircle his shoulders.

Their eyes meet and hold.

He is buried fully within her.

They stay completely still.

His lips brush across hers.

His whisper is soft. "You have it."

Their lips meet.

The candle flickers, and goes out.
