It happened every time .
Every single time.
Her head would star spinning, her heart would beat an erratic tattoo against her ribs and she would stop breathing.
But given the fact that she was standing next to perfection, maybe her body's reaction could be excused.
I can't breathe because of you! Can't you see that?
"When will you be getting back?" She stuttered out, her voice shaking pathetically.
He turned to her in surprise.
"In less than three weeks. Why do you sound like that?" He asked , concern etching his voice.
Your voice drives me crazy. I hear it even when I'm alone. When I hear you speak , your voice echoes not only in my ears and my heart but deep down into my soul. I can't breathe when I hear you speak .
"Ah... nothing.. I must've been out in the cold last night . I think I'm coming down with a cold. "She cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Are you sure its nothing? Should I get you some medicine before I leave?" He asked with a frown, reaching forward to touch her forehead.
When you touch me, my breath just leaves my lungs in a hurry. Every inch in contact with your soft hand is burning hot.
"You do feel a little hot. Maybe I should-"
Before he could finish , she was moving her face, letting her lips brush the inside of his palm, rubbing herself against it in an absentminded caress.
Both of them froze at the intimate move.
She felt her face flame in embarrassment.
"I.. I'm sorry I shouldn't have-"
Soft lips closed over hers, firm and insistent, gentle yet passionate. She felt herself hit the wall of her bedroom with a soft thud.
"What was that about?"HE whispered against her lips. She tried to gather her chaotic thoughts.
"I'll miss you."
He smiled against her cheek, kissing her lightly again before tracing the path to her ears. She froze as he lightly bit her earlobe, sending a plethora of sensations across her body.
"How about I give you a memory to keep you warm for the next three weeks?" He whispered .
"Me-Memory?" She panted, her hands hanging limp at her side.
He pulled back, an innocent smile on his perfect face. She couldn't help it.
She smiled back.
"I take it that's an yes." HE pressed a gentle open mouthed kiss on her lips before carrying her over to the bed.
Everything was magical. The open frantic searching as they tried to take everything off at once. The shock of feeling each other, skin to skin, man to woman. The sharp incredible pain deep down , the odd feeling of incredible pleasure mingling with excruciating pain. The confusion in her thoughts as her brain tried to differentiate the hurt from the pleasure. The look of feral possession on his face as he drove himself into her.
And the sweet aftermath of having him right by her side.
In the coming weeks, she relived those moments over and over again.
Each time she did, her breathe caught.
You're the only reason I breathe.
