    smiled a slight smile enough to part her lips taking a cokespoon divot of what could become wonderfullydeep dimples

Not since Heaven.

No.

      We wanted our time.

I thought it was deftif it was . . .

                                   her green eyes glinted

Hmmhmmin Maria  if I asked her

                                       he walked towards where she sat at the dresser

she watched

                in the mirror

And our bodies very similar.

                                her chemise   implicit

standing directly behind her did not once shift her body  he looked over her shoulderdown into her sugarbrown cleavage

    her chemise   explicit

Who was who

her terrific smile blossomed like suddenredrose

he put a hand on one shoulder

                              ran his thumb from the nape of her neck to her jaw her cheek  her dimple

I love these

    Who was whowho did what?

                                      I don’t think so.

I could imagine ways to make you  confess

We agreed.  No.

No means no

    Yes it does.

slowly

           they watched in the mirror

gently

          watching in the mirror  he ran his thumb to her chin  beneath  to her throat

sloowly acrosscaressing her collarbone to hollowhappening where it met her shoulderwhere  deftly  he slipped it underhooked the thin chemise strap

he watched her in the mirror

                                You wouldnt have to say

    You woudnt have to say a wordI coud know

                                                    A word other than  yes  or no

he leaned against her back

                                 to encourage her
