Never

Chapter 9: Burning Passion Within....


I listened to her every word, hanging on to every consonant and the stress of every syllable. I felt their meanings, as they poured from her heart to mine. I kept my eyes locked with hers. My hands entwined with her small ones. I could take it no more. The need to pull her close to me was far too great to push away.

So I did they only thing I could....

I gently jerked her arms toward me, causing her to glide to my open arms. I held her, at first in my arms. The attraction, need to feel her lips pressed to mine, and the heat of her body next to me was so strong it was almost painful. I could no longer deny my body, my yearning for her. I had to surrpress the need and hunger she produced. I pulled away slowly, my eyes never leaving hers. I just gazed into her soul.

Even inwardly she was beautiful.

I leaned toward her and kissed her passionately. A soft, low sigh escaped her lips as I pressed mine more firmly to hers. My hands began to roam her back, remembering ever unique curve of her body. I pressed her more to me. I was relieved there was no protest or pull from her end. I knew, as she slowly gave in, that she wanted it just as much as I did, to make our union one. I guess it's right what they say...

Your dreams really can come true.

I stood, taking her up with me. I lifted her and cradled her in the nook of my arms. I carried her to the room neither of us occupied and placed her gently on the bed. She had the look of insecurity planted on her delicate features. Shit, would you listen to me....delicate....passion. Fuck, I am getting soft and...weird. Heh. Anyway...I kneeled down in front of her and touched her cream colored face. I whispered to her words of comfort.

And then the love was evident....

I leaned in for another kiss, as she pulled me to her. The passion began, as the love within us blossomed. It's funny. I never thought love was what was meant for me. I never thought Jack was someone who would turn my stomach in knots and spin my emotions like a tornado on a hot Kansas day. Shit, there I go with the analogies again. I never thought that sex and love could be this passionate, this meaningful.

Women do have the power to change men's minds....

I am the first to tell you that. As we made love the whole night through, all I could do was repeat the words that I never once murmured to anyone. I love you. It was at that moment that I decided she was always and forever going to be a part of me. That no matter where she went, I would follow. No matter what life threw at her, I would be the one to serve as her shield. I was determined to be her rock, as she was made my heart.

She was the purpose I breathed each day.....
