We stroll quietly, hand in hand, along the side of the creek enjoying the sounds of the woods around us. Walt and Gatsby are accustomed to our evening walks, noses to the ground exploring everything, but never straying too far.
I steal a side eyed glance at the man beside me, my protector, my love… just a glimpse of his face and my heart beat increases. I’m already glistening with sweat from the hot sun but suddenly I feel 20 degrees hotter. I quickly look away but I’m sure he has heard the change in my breath, he knows what he does to me.
Without hesitation he pins me against a nearby tree and kisses me deeply. The kiss consumes me. The air is stolen from my lungs and I’m lightheaded but I don’t care. I just want more of him. I need more of him. It doesn’t last nearly long enough and before I know what’s happening, he breaks the kiss and pulls away from me. I let out a slight whine. “Boooooo,” I say, with a pouty face.
