'Cause if you wanna go
Baby, let's go
If you wanna rock,
I'm ready to roll
And if you wanna slow down,
We can slow down together
Of The Heart
It's his first night back and she's soaking in the tub, a glass of red wine in hand and an impish grin on her face.
The electricity in the room is unsettling, months of want and undying emotions running through their veins and making it harder to breath.
He's sitting on the edge of the seat watching her, memorizing the curves of her body, the lines on her face.
He wants nothing more than to take her in his arms and prove how much he's missed her but she likes to make him wait.
When she finally stands, beads of water running down her body he can't help it.
She's in his embrace, they're both soaked now but he doesn't care.
He finds her lips and they're soft and taste bitter like wine yet it's so intoxicating he can't get enough.
In the bedroom they collapse onto the bed, he wants to take it slow, rediscover her.
She has other plans though and she kisses him, nimble fingers removing his shirt and nails raking across his back in a rush that has him gasping for breath.
He should've known it would go this way; she's not a patient person after all.
When they're finished they lie side by side and her head is on his chest, memorizing the way his heart beat sounds.
It's a few hours later and they're lazily sprawled out in bed when she looks at him with wide eyes and asks if he'll stay this time.
It's not an easy decision but he feels it's for the best so he presses a kiss to her forehead and he promises he'll stay as long as she does too.
