Tango One

First night,
so enwrapt in the way our words
seemed to ebb and flow
that I did not feel foolish
when you whispered
"Dance with me?"
Went easy into those arms
my hair suddenly swept up
Grace Kelly perfect,
and somewhere you found
the midnight blue spangle gown
that would have done Bob Mackie proud.

You look beautiful, you said
as one hand touched my bare back---
just that.
The warm imprint of fingers
against skin
and we were
intimate in a heart beat.

I could not meet your eye---
you had not even caressed me.
Just a touch,
and that fast I wanted to feel
my lips under yours.
The pressure of your touch
insistent, gentle
but brooking no argument.
until we were so close
that it was impossible not to kiss.

You took my mouth
softly---
one swirl of tongue
and I spun
breathing became effort
and you seized one lip,
bit down
and sucked my soul
between your teeth.

It almost hurt---
and I pulled back
tried to laugh off the sudden longing
the instant high sear,
tried to deny the honey pulse
inside shaking achy thighs.
Are you trying to seduce me?
I asked lightly---
face saved on all sides
if I was wrong.

Am I succeeding? You asked,
staring in my eyes
and using the other hand
to pull me flush against your body.
Throbbing.
Oh God, I felt you
and the last gate melted away.

You said later
that you were terrified
and yet the hands that made their way
to my hair,
pulling loose the pins
hungry fingers buried in chestnut strands
wrapping them as if my hair
was something you never wanted to be free of.

You pulled me closer,
breathed in my scent,
then spun me for another kiss,
the question offered softly by your tongue
but demanding an answer.

And how it was that the gown
puddled to my feet,
and your lips blazed my neck,
my throat,
and made the hollow between my breasts
the perfect place for your tongue to rasp
I will never know.

I only know that when my thighs parted,
you were there, leaning me back
parting me like lush velvet petals
and when your fingers
touched the glistening
you moaned
and the hunger of that sound
near pushed me into bliss.

You heard my whimper,
felt me arch,
and knew how ready I was---
but you did not take me.
Instead, you touched one finger
to something white hot,
and when I threw back my head
to shriek
bent foward and kissed me
your tongue against my apex
greedy
insistent.

I was beyond speaking,
shaking
and you stopped long enough
to tell me to look in your eyes,
then bent again,
locking my gaze
as the world slid away.
And when I quaked hard,
you waited for the last
sweet clench,
and then rose
and came into my body
with such tenderness
and consummate ease
that I felt not invasion-
but completion.

And I felt it inside you---
felt the longing,
the need
the quaking hunger
as it built
and grew
and climbed
until the only recourse
was to spill into my soul---
and carry you with it
with the strains of a tango
still ringing in my ears.
