December 18, 2006

quite taken

Your back arches to catch the glow of the candlelight: skin glistens gold with sweat.

My hands follow the curve of your waist. Your shoulder blade rises, protrudes, points straight back at me.

You know our rule: don't stick it out unless you want my mouth on it.

The salt taste of skin between my teeth. A shudder of response, a moan hints at more. Your sounds drive me crazy. A nibble teases and hardens into a bite.

I know you love to wear the mark of my mouth. You want to feel as though you've earned it. Your back, your shoulders, the curve of your neck.

With a handful of hair I pull your head back. My cheek presses against yours. Now those shoulder blades dig back into my chest. My lungs breathe deep against a hot bruise.

Tell me again... you know I could never forget, but tell me again.
