Love's Touch

"I.. I was just seeking help, answers. Marcus had approached me before about my past. I needed to know the truth." I stood in silence as my words began to sink into his mind.

"Then, why not ask me? You know you can always come to me, my love." I locked onto his eyes. "That is just it... love. I was afraid you did not love me after my earlier outburst."

His cold expression instantly turned warm and caring again as he walked to face me and placed his hands on my shoulders.

I cautiously looked up to meet his eyes. "My darling, some things are eternal. The sun, the moon... and my love for you. Nothing can take that away."

A single tear slid down my shamefull face. I fell into his chest and held him tightly. I inhaled his intoxicating scent as he gently stroked my hair.

I finally felt safe. Then, he held me by my shoulders in front of him and gazed down into my eyes, and I,into his. Before I could think, he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.

All of my emotions raced. My senses hightened to the point of pain.The sounds of the world around us clouded out and left nothing but the beating of our hearts.

This was the first actuall kiss we had shared. My body screamed for his touch and my limbs turned weak. It was all I could do to keep from falling to the floor.

Johnathan sensed this in me and held me close to him. I finally caught up with my thoughts and kissed him back, harder.

Slowly, I ran my hands up his arms and then to his chest. I griped his shirt and bunched the loose fabric up in my hands.

I felt as his gentle hands moved over my back and through the dark locks of hair that cascaded down my spine.

My hands found their way to his neck, then up to his cheeks. I held his face with care as our kiss deepened.

He then broke away, only to move down to my neck. He kissed and sucked at my soft, pale skin as I gasped in pleasure.

With one final kiss to my neck, he held himself back and looked into my eyes, smiling with love. No words were spoken, but I knew just what he had planned next.

Johnathan slowly bent down and placed one arm under my knees, with the other under my back and lifted me into his grasp.

I bit my lip and held onto his shoulders as we began to move. He placed a kiss on my forehead and walked towards the large bed in the room that joined the one we were in.

He layed me down and crawled on top of me carefully. He leaned down took my mouth with his as he began to untie the front straps of my dress.

Each second seemed like a lifetime. When he untied the last one, he placed his hand on my bare stomach and slid it up to my ribs.

I held him closer to me and placed one leg around his waist. Just as he began to remove more, he suddenly stopped. I looked at him confused and he sat up. "I... I can not do this... I am sorry..."
