Winter Rain and Salt Air
It was eight o’clock on a freezing winter evening. I stepped outside to lower the security shutters, the air biting and a light drizzle beginning to fall. As I crouched down to secure the locks, I felt a sudden, warm breath against the nape of my neck. A low, familiar whisper grazed my ear: “Do not fear, I’ve got you.”
A shiver raced down my spine, but it wasn’t from the cold. I turned quickly, finding his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made my breath hitch. He reached out, tilting my chin up before claiming my lips in a slow, sweet kiss. It had been far too long since we were last together, and the suddenness of his return ignited a fire in my veins.
His hands wandered with urgent memory, tracing the curve of my waist and the line of my spine. As the kiss deepened, our tongues danced in a frantic rhythm of longing. He pressed me against the cold brick wall, the contrast of the freezing night and his searing skin making me gasp. Every touch was a reclamation, a silent promise that he would never leave again.
We stumbled inside, the door slamming shut behind us, shutting out the world. In the dim light of the hallway, clothes were discarded in a trail of desperation. When he finally entered me, it wasn’t just a physical union, but a collision of two souls who had been starving for one another. We moved together in a feverish cadence, the rain drumming a rhythmic beat against the glass, mirroring the pounding of our hearts.
