His hand fell slowly downward.
Index finger grazing her arm, tickling it.
Sitting, facing forward,
Heart pounding like tingles could thicken blood.
He had waited a long time for this,
And she had always seemed so far away.
There was only silence.
He laced his fingers into hers,
And she squeezed back.
Unspoken agreements kept them from facing each other.
The sand moved under their bare feet.
The lighthouse so far away glared every so often.
Sea breeze blew chills through their lips,
Through their neck, and through their legs,
One after the other.
The wind spoke softly.
A deep breath to build confidence,
He let his head fall upon hers sweetly.
His eyes found her and he kissed,
Her temple. Her cheek. Her lips.
And finally their eyes met.
Something in them neither had seen before.
Their bodies relaxed as they laid down.
The reeds rustled loudly.
There was no difference between her lips and her neck,
And neither had yet made a noise.
Hands moved across each other fervently.
The tingles turned to breathlessness,
For neither wanted to take their lips from the other.
The warmth of her breasts against his body,
The sand falling from her hair with every movement.
And you know exactly what we did that night.
Do not ask me my fantasy, my dear.
For I already had it with you,
Oh so long ago.

I read this one.
And I am glad I did.
