Music played softly in the dimly lit ballroom. He guided her around the dance floor in step with the soft sounds of a smooth voiced crooner. The evening’s event was coming to a close and they were the last pair on the hardwood. His strong arms held her close, as she rested her head on his shoulder. Her eyes closed. They were oblivious to the servers clearing the tables and disassembling the party around them. The song stopped and the band said their thanks. He stopped abruptly when he realized the music was no longer playing.
“Come with me,” he said She opened her eyes and smiled at him. “Where are we going?” she questioned. “Shhhh. Just come with me.” He took her by her hand and led her to the door. They left the remains of the party behind, walked through the long dark hallway to the exit doors. The warmth of the evening greeted them as they stepped outside. It was a short walk to the beach. He paused briefly and reminded her of how beautiful she looked tonight. Her dress accentuated her curvy frame without revealing too much. The crimson color contrasted her bronze skin and the silky fabric shimmied over her body as she moved. She was a sight to behold. She thanked him with a shy smile. He kissed her nose gently before they continued to the sandy shore before them. “Stop,” she said as she pulled on his hand. “What’s wrong baby girl?” “Nothing’s wrong, I just need to take my heels off.” He smiled at her and watched as she bent over to undo the ankle straps of her velvety black heels. He admired the way the shoes enhanced the look of her legs. “I’d break a leg trying to walk in the sand in these,” she said as she held up the heels. “I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.” They continued onto the warm sand. He held her hand as she chatted about whatever popped into her head. He loved the way she could ramble on. They walked a little further down the shoreline. He drew her into his arms and kissed her. “If you wanted me to shut up, that’s all you had to say,” she said with a wry smile. He laughed lightly. “You know, shutting you up was not my intention. I craved your sweet lips.” She giggled and set off running. She turned and said playfully over her shoulder, “If you want another, you’re gonna have to catch me first.” He let her run for a few moments then ran after her. He caught up with her easily. She wasn’t trying to run too far and he was a better runner than she. He scooped her up in his arms and twirled her in the sand. She leaned into him and kissed him on his forehead, inhaling the scent of his hair. He set her down. “Dance with me.” “But there’s no music.” “Baby girl, we don’t need music, just bring that body over her and hold it against me.” They whirled in the warm sand under the glow of the full moon to the song of the waves splashing on the shore. Once again they had become unaware of the world beyond them. The two lovers danced under the night sky for hours. “I’m getting sleepy,” she said with a tiny yawn as she looked up into his bright eyes. “Well let’s go back to our room and get some rest. It’s been a long wonderful day,” he said as he became lost in her eyes. “Mmmmm,” she moaned her approval. They walked hand-in-hand back to the luxurious hotel and up to their room. He opened the door to their private suite. “How about a bath?” he asked with a gleam in his eye. “You know exactly what I like,” she responded. “I’ll get the water ready and you go get undressed..” He walked into the bathroom, turned on the warm water, and poured sweet rose scented bubble bath into the cascading flow. She walked up behind him, wrapped her arms around him and hugged him with all her strength revealing the contents of her heart. He twisted in her arms so he was facing her. His lips found hers... His strong hands slipped her silky robe off her shoulders. The shimmery pink fabric fell to the floor. His eyes traced the outline of her body as she stepped into the warmth of the water. She enveloped herself in the bubbles. He knelt down next to her. She laid back and closed her eyes; she was humming the tune from their last dance at the party. He smiled at her. “What are you thinking about?” It was her favorite question for him. She always wanted to know what was going on in his mind. He usually replied the same way. “You.” She smiled and continued to hum. He picked up the body wash and squirted some in his hand. He started to wash her. He massaged her sexy legs; moving his hands from her toes to the heat between her thighs. Running the length of her smooth skin, his fingers spread the fragrant soap. She let out a quiet moan. His hands moved farther up her body to her stomach and breasts. He cleanses her, inch by inch. “Damn, baby, your fingers are amazing.” She whispered. He rinsed the soapy lather from her flesh. He stood up and grabbed the fluffy towel off the rack. He walked back over to the tub. She stood up. He wrapped her in the plush cotton; slowly patting the water off her skin. “Come on baby girl lets go to bed..” They walked into the next room where the large king sized bed awaited them; the soft sheets inviting them. He picked her up, placed her on the bed and covered her with the comforter to keep her warm. He undressed and slipped under the covers beside her and pulled her closer to him. She curled up next to him her body intertwined with his; the heat of his flesh comforting her. She sighed. “Thank you for today baby, I had so much fun,” she said sleepily. “You are so very welcome my love, anything for you.” He didn’t finish his sentence before he heard her breathing pattern change and she fell asleep. Her head rested on his chest as he laid there and listened to her sleep. “Sleep sweet.” He mumbled as he drifted off to sleep. Copyright 2008 Tessa |
