Caress.......

There’s the sunny corner on my bed, cool white cotton sheets draped lazily. I hold her by the waist and plant a kiss on her ear.

Laugh.

The fragrance of her lithe body suffuses with the fruity scent as i bury my face in her thick hair. Peppermint… i think. My bare warm chest against the cold skin of her bare back. Cheeks against one another.

Nuzzle. Caress. Whisper.

Love you, i murmur.

She smiles. She looks at me. Inky black staring knowingly.

Only the slight lilt of head and shining eyes acknowledge that she’s heard me.

I reach out and flick a stray strand from her face. Trace her facial contours with my fingertips. Upturned nose, softly rounded cheeks, thick lashes, arched eyebrows and mellifluous lips that hold a demure questioning glance that always makes me want to answer …not necessarily with words.

A Goddess.
