A Moment in Time

I just stared at him...

It was all I could do really.

My mind was blown.

Blown to smithereens. Lacking anything other than unintelligible sounds so I pressed my quivering lips together.

I stared into his eyes. Searching for any motives behind his words.

His words...

Strong.

No other way to describe them.

Strong as our gravitational pull towards one another.

Strong as the emotion in his face.

I continued to gaze into his eyes and welcomed the time to slow as it always did when we had our moments. This was our little game. We'd stare into one another's eyes for what feels like a lifetime until our minds completely synced. Right on cue, time froze. I could feel myself exiting my own body. I was now able to see the shocked expression my face held. The disbelief in my eyes. I was also able to see the passion in his. I chuckled silently at myself in this trancelike state. I never was capable of seeing the obvious. And it was clear that this man was sincere.

I was able to drift back into my own mind but still lacked my mobile abilities.

I wanted to touch his face.

His face...

Sculpted by angels under the precise command of God. I don't think I had ever seen a man so physically perfect. Even his imperfections were perfection.

Talk about flawless.

My longing to touch his face was getting worse but I couldn't move. Hell, I couldn't even feel mine.

Our mind syncing game continued.

I realized once again that he was serious. He meant everything he had said to me. His face held no regret. No remorse. His chin was slightly elevated. He was proud of his words. He usually was. I admired that about him.

As time resumed, I felt my jaw move but no sound escaped. Damnit! This was not the time for cat to have my tongue. I was aware that he was awaiting my response and I could tell he wasn't used to seeing me in a speechless state.

He stared intently into my eyes. I was so thankful that he knew my mind. That he could know exactly what I was thinking or feeling just by looking into my eyes.

He took a step towards me. His eyes never leaving mine. He continued to saunter towards me.

My body was definitely reacting. I felt my heart speed up. I felt my palms begin to sweat. I felt my spine tingle. I felt my knees weaken beneath me.

What did this man have over me? How dare he control me this way!

He finally made his way to me, resting his large palms on my waist and pulling me into him. He bent down connecting our foreheads and I knew he had found the response he was looking for.

He smirked slightly after inhaling and exhaling deeply. His eyes looked relaxed.

He used his thumb to wipe a falling tear from my eye. I had no idea I was crying. Like clockwork, I felt my eyes burn causing a few more silent tears to fall.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me into a hug. It was such a warm hug. So genuine. He rocked me slightly. His warmth melted my stupefied state and I was then able to move my body again. I wrapped my arms around him and began to squeeze him like it was the last time I will ever see him.

He chuckled lightly.

"You don't know your own strength ma" he whispered in my ear. "I think you lowkey tryna kill me."

I froze and released my grip on him, looking up at him with a smile.

He looked rather amused which caused me to smile wider. I knew I looked a cheesy mess, but I didn't care.

He laughed and shook his head,

"I live for that smile, baby."

He leaned down to place a gentle peck on my lips. And that's all it took to send white hot electric pulses through my entire being.

I found myself wondering if he could feel it. Did he too have electric pulses rage through his veins and blood vessels when our lips touched?

He pecked my lips a few more times before kissing me passionately. My soul was ablaze. I deepened the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. I entangled my fingers in his hair. He grabbed my waist tightly and pulled me into him.

I could live this way. With his warm hands on me and our lips moving in sync. This was my definition of Heaven. I refuse to believe it gets better than this.

He pulled away slowly causing me to whimper softly. I pouted slightly.

"Big baby." He said with a smirk.

I looked up at him to see a seductive look in his eyes. He loosened his grip on my waist only to slide his hands down to my behind, squeezing it lightly before allowing his hands to rest there.

He was staring in my eyes again. Searching for something. I didn't know what but he knows me so well I'm sure he'll find his answer.

I broke the silence.

"I love you too."

He smiled widely causing me to blush and giggle.

"I know." He stated.

I honestly knew he already knew. How could I possibly hide it from him? But I knew he needed to hear it.

Without thought, I grabbed his hand from my backside and slowly lead him up the stairs to the bedroom. I had plans for him.

Plans for us.

I had longed for this moment for quite some time. And I knew my excitement was evident no matter how hard I tried to contain it. The closer we got to the door, the harder my heart pounded. His palm in mine only intensified this sensation.

We reached the bedroom, walking in closing the door behind us. I locked the door. There really was no need, we were the only two in the house. But something about hearing the click of that lock made me feel some type of way. 😏

I turned to him and returned the look of seduction he was giving me.

"I guess it could get a little better than this." I thought to myself biting into my bottom lip.

No sleep tonight...
