Gently turning aside the cotton
blanket and flat sheet at once he
exposed her shoulders
and a single breast
her nipple swelled
but she lay there still motionless
keeping her eyes shut tight
quiet
tension working slight creases on her eyelids quiverings
tossing
light aside as off a fresh serving of tangerine
Jell-O in a cut glass trifle
emboldened
in his mind he wrestled with what
he wanted and what she wanted and what he thought she might want him to do
and
what he thought he wanted to do sparring
deliciously
his hand trembled the blanket and sheet he held sinuous antennae
she exhaled turned slightly elegantly towards him shifting
her shoulders and legs
then
he thought what did he care what she
thought
he
cared
and then slowly
he began to undrape her
body her other breast swollen tense
counted her ribs to the swale of her belly
she
slipped a bit more her eyes shut
tight her eyes moving under their
lids not panicked not comfortable perhaps seeing herself as he saw her exposed through his eyes
round hipbones her cauldron pubis thighs knees shins she turned towards him slightly more aw her ankles
she slipped her lower body her body onto her hip crossed her knees her calf foot toes
her eyes shut tight
her eyes shut tight
he dropped the blanket and sheet
to the hardwood floor
he looked he admired
she exhaled
and his hand still warm from holding the blanket and sheet he placed on her upraised hip
his thumb inside her hipbone
she
sucked a breath in through her mouth
he ran the fingernails of his
other hand on her buttock down to her cleft
clenched it in his hand
she
moaned
then releasing her buttock he ran
his hand s l o w l y to the edge of her waist the flat of her belly
to her larger breast and captured her upturned nipple between where his thumb and
index finger joined the rest of his hand
enjoying her swell his fingertips
feeling her heart beat
he roughly pushed his hand passed
her breast gentle at her arched sculpted collarbone to her throat
his hand around her throat
her eyes shut
tight
holding her so firming his hold he leaned over smelled the hair at her temple kissed the bridge of her nose her eyes
her cheek then sought her mouth as her head began to move
so her mouth could find his
kissing her he felt her hand
brush him then hold him
he shut his eyes
tight
to join her in that dark where
they saw what their eyes cant see
