They had both arrived at an emotional epiphany together – about their love. And that sensation had swept them up into a moments passion that would not soon die away.
“I want you …. NOW!” she said like a hungry tiger. All he could do was let out a purring growl in response.
She paused a moment and was struck with a thought. “But… one is not supposed to think such things about one’s self. It’s unflattering.”
“According to whom?” he asked pausing to look at her inquisitively. “By what sense of reasoning? By who’s creed? By what ‘moral right’?” He waited again to let the questions sink in.
The beams of sun were almost solid lines pouring down through the narrow opening in the trees and the glow from where they struck the ground lit up every little droplet with bright reds and yellows. They looked like little crystalline jewels everywhere they precariously hung.
“Why do you love me?”
I knew she was not the type to be insecure, and all of us can probably use some reminders from time to time, but wow! What a trap question! She wasn’t the sort to set traps for me either, so she must have been amidst some heady thoughts to lay that one at my feet.
“OK,” he said lowering the cup, quickly following with “but keep your eyes closed.” His voice contained a small hint of urgency, but before she could ponder it further she felt his body move closer to hers. Cupping her check with his hand, she felt his warm lips slowly press against hers.
