The night was warm and I could feel a light breeze hugging us. Even though the sky was completely dark without the moon I wasn't scared. He was here and I could feel the firmness of his muscles as he hugged me tightly. "You came," I said, pulling away from his embrace a little. "Of course I would come," he replied pulling me closer like he feared losing me at any moment. "How did you manage to get out without anyone noticing?" he asked as he kissed the top of my head. "Sleep tea," I said, nuzzling my nose into his neck. He smelled like musk wood and citrus, that familiar scent so rich in promises... He broke our embrace but kept our hands entwined as he guided me into the alley small shocks ran through my body starting where his fingers touched my skin. As always, the lightest of his touches made my skin crawl, and little shocks coursed through my entire body. "This way," he said, interrupting my thoughts. As soon as we reached the center of the alley he led me to a blanket spread on the ground surrounded by candlelights. "Alone at last," he said through a smile as he pulled me in for a kiss.I could feel the softness of his lips against mine. His initially shy kiss became more and more overpowering as I opened my lips to let his tongue pass. "I missed you," he said between kisses. I dug my fingers into his hair, pulling him closer in response.Gently he laid me down on the blanket, my back touching the softness of the fabric. I felt every muscle tense as he descended his wet kisses in a diabolical itinerary across my neck. His trained lips seemed to be in no hurry to reach their destination. He seemed to relish the torture being imposed on me. That torturous, wicked path he drew with his lips. My skin burned with every touch and I craved more.He pulled away enough to untie my nightgown, exposing my bare breasts. It wasn't the first time he had seen them, but even so, he took his time admiring them as if he wanted to engrave every detail in his memory. After what appeared to be an eternity he took me in his arms again, splitting his attention between my breasts and neck. My excitement grew with each kiss and every touch was torment. As if waging an internal war, he decided to get rid of the last barrier that kept us from being one.His hands slinked my entire body, which reacted to every touch as if we were rehearsing the steps of a dance. So, lulled by the sound of the night breeze against the leaves, we found our rhythm until everything was silent again. And there, hearing his panting breath I snuggled into his embrace, thinking there was nowhere else I wanted to be.
...
The morning light danced over my skin like tender touches. The recollections of the night before were still vivid in my memory and I struggled with the act of waking up. I snuggled deeper into the warmth of his embrace, trying to perpetuate every waking sensation beside him.Suddenly I felt his whole body stiffen and a shiver ran down my spine. Even before I opened my eyes I knew what had happened. She had found us, there was no denying it anymore and I knew at that moment that I was doomed.
