I am sleepless this night, haunted by thoughts of you. But haunted is the wrong word, blessed, gifted, mesmerized, these are all better words. In my thoughts it is a warm summer's day.

We have just arrived at a hotel after a short trip from the airport where you picked me up. We smile at each other and chit chat nervously about the weather and the details of our trips to this oasis in the desert. Our hearts are pounding out the rhythm of our anxiety and our desire as the two emotions get mixed and shuffled in our heads.

You brush against me briefly as I take my bags from the car, and the moment is electric. You lead me inside as I watch the captivating movement of your body, the glistening beauty of your hair, and my mind swims in a hint of your perfume. We walk wordlessly to the door to your room. You fumble for a moment with the key to the room and I can see your hand shaking. We step inside and let the door close behind us. I place my bags on the floor and before a word can be exchanged I take you in my arms and kiss you long and deep. A lifetime of missed opportunities disappears in that timeless kiss. I hold you to me tightly, my hands caressing your back and shoulders as our mouths become the center of our existence. Our bodies come alive in the intensity of that long desired kiss.

Reluctantly our lips part, and I move back slightly. I hold my finger to your lips before you can say anything, I gaze deeply and longingly into your breathtaking eyes, and wordlessly I begin to unbutton your blouse. With the last button released, I slowly brush it off your shoulders and let it fall to the floor. You tremble slightly as my hands caress your arms, your shoulders, and finally find their way to your breasts, slowly, methodically, exploring the exquisite curves tantalizingly hidden beneath your provocative bra. Your body responds to my touch, and a slight gasp escapes you as my hands move your bra aside to reveal the treasures beneath. My fingers trace soft sensuous swirls as our lips meet once again and we taste the fire of desire once again. The feel of your skin beneath my hands is paradise to me, and the taste of your lips in my mouth is all the sustenance I will ever need. As your bra falls to the floor, your fingers move, as if with a will of their own, and begin to unbutton my shirt. Our kiss intensifies as the skin of our bodies touches in ways we've only dreamed of.

I release your belt and slide your skirt to the floor, and the sight of your beauty takes my breath away. The love I have for you overwhelms me, and releases the final shackles on my desires. I take you in my arms, and as we kiss even more deeply I slowly lower you onto the bed.

You can feel the desire that fills me as our bodies ignite with the fire of our shared passion. The last of our clothing is removed, and as I slide into the bed next to you our bodies and souls are truly joined. My hands move unhindered across your body, as yours explore newly discovered territories as well.

We kiss the kiss of passion, the kiss of love, the kiss of desire, the kiss of ultimate intimacy.

My kisses move from your lips, down your neck, across your shoulder and down to find the keys to your whispers and moans of pleasure. Our bodies can wait no longer, and the ecstasy that we have waited so long to share takes us as I enter you for the first time.

We move as one, slowly at first, but slowly building in intensity. The power of the passion takes over, and our bodies strain to find the depths of pleasure. We reach a fever pitch, the rhythmic melody of love moving us to ever higher sensations.

With a force we have never known, the crescendo of love washes over us again and again.

Breathing heavily, and completely at peace we settle into each others arms, letting the waves of receding passion warm our hearts. Our bodies intertwined, we lay with each other forever, gazing, caressing, kissing, and loving.
