Just For Now

Shana x Dart

Her lips were soft, considering the long weeks spent exposed to the elements. It was nice kissing her but he thought if he really should be kissing her perhaps his thoughts would be something more romantic than un-chapped lips.

She pulled away and looked at him from an arms length away, gazing at him with her rich brown eyes. It felt like she was searching the very depths of his soul. He stared back unabashed half hoping, half wondering if she would find what she was looking for. Tears welled at the corners of her eyes, threatening to spill down her cheeks. Suddenly she sprang toward him wrapping her arms around him as if she were afraid he'd slip away, again.

He rested his chin on her hair breathing in the scent. She started shaking and he knew that the tears had broken free of their prison. He pushed her away so that she could face him. Smiling softly he wiped the tears from her face. She looked up with longing in her eyes. Then he pushed his lips towards hers again, this time his hands began to wander. No thoughts of forever invaded his mind, no complex emotions or sudden need to mention the words always or evermore, but a feeling of comfort came over him. This was okay, it was more than okay, it was sensual and real, it was here and now. It just was and for now that was all he could give her. For now it was all that they had.
