The Kiss

I wrap my arms tightly around you
Your eyes are closed
Anticipating

I lean forward
Soft kisses against the eyelids
A whisper of a kiss on the tip of your nose
Gentle caresses on each cheek

I brush your lips with mine
Feather-light
And again
And again
Never quite making solid contact

I reach up and run my fingertips ever so slightly across your forehead
Each hand moving across to the sides
And then down to the temples

Across each brow ridge
Softly
Down along the sides of your nose
Across your cheeks
Along your jawbone

Across your lips
Once
Twice
So softly

I lean forward again and lightly touch my lips to yours
Allowing nothing but the slightest of contact

My fingers trail down along your cheek
Caressing the jawbone
Down the side of your neck
Just barely brushing the skin
Back up to your jaw
Then your cheek

The tip of one finger whispers across your mouth
Allowing one brief moment of pressure
Then back across

I lean forward and place a soft kiss on your neck
Just below your ear
And another
So soft

I let my mouth trail along the flesh of your neck
Down to the Adam’s apple
And place a soft kiss there
And again, adding a slight flick of the tongue

Another kiss
Another slight flick of the tongue

I lower my head slightly
Kissing the hollow of your throat

The tip of my tongue traces a warm, wet line back up to your Adam’s apple
And draws a slow soft circle around it

I nibble my way back up
And along your jaw
Light little tongue flicks across your cheek
To your mouth

A soft brush of my lips against yours in one direction
A small pause
Hovering
Then another quick brush of my lips against yours in the other direction
A touch so slight that you can hardly feel it
But you know it happened

I lean forward
Nibble gently on your pouting lower lip

My tongue traces another warm, wet line across your lips
Down one cheek
Down your neck, to your Adam’s apple
I pause here
Nuzzle the skin
Place soft little kisses all around it

My tongue flickers over it, teasing

I nuzzle my way to one ear
A flick of the tongue to the earlobe
Then away
Trailing kisses back to your Adam’s apple
Across to your other ear
And back to your Adam’s apple

I’m moving back up now
Working light kisses up the side of your neck
Making my way to your mouth

I trace your lips with the very tip of my tongue
Let it slide over your lips

I nibble my way back across again
Pausing to flick the tip of my tongue at the corners of your mouth

My hands rise up to the sides of your face
Tracing light circles on your cheeks with my fingertips
Move slowing towards your ears

Soft
Caressing
Moving down along the rims
Down, to the earlobe
Then back up
Tracing the outline
And back down to the base
A soft swirl along the skin just below each ear
And back up again

My mouth has been playing with your lower lip
Barely sucking on it
Flicking my tongue at it

Without warning, my mouth finds yours
Fast
Hard

My tongue slips inside
Eager to explore
To taste you
Devour you
Before pulling away

A pause
Then your eyes open
Slowly
Eyelids heavy

You look at me
Eyes dark with passion
Lips trembling

You look at me
And I smile
