Tango Two

The sun had it's way with this skin of mine,
burning stripes into my shoulders
and I suppose I knew I was baking,
but it felt so fine to lie there
and soak in that warmth
and feel by day as you have made me feel by night.

So that night, I came to you,
skin too tender to touch
dressed in a red velvet gown
my hair piled high,
a bottle of aloe gel in my hand.
You smiled the small smile,
slipped the thin straps
from my arms
and began to thickly coat my skin
with the soothing stuff,
grinning when i jumped
at the cooling touch.

You pushed the gown to my waist,
your touch caring and competent
and with my singed hide,
who would have thought
that heat could happen?
But once you quenched
the tight burn of the sun,
you laid me down
and covered my back,
your hands light---but sure.

I purred,
whimpering a bit,
and burn or no
oh how I longed to feel you
flush against me,
snug tight and comforting
and more.
And unbidden one light finger
traced the pale skin
just shy of the burn
touching only where I was unharmed
and creating a new sort of heat.

i turned to look in your eyes
and you lowered your mouth
to capture one breast
suckled softly
until my breath came in tiny stitches,
pushed the velvet lower---
off,
and cupped me tenderly
until I quite forgot my burned skin,
wanting you so abruptly
that we were both taken aback.

You leaned against me,
eyes asking if this was wise,
caution born of love,
that melted me twice as quick
and I answered you with grey green fire,
touched by amber
that dared you to stop
even for an instant.

Oh...and I could feel it,
taking my shape and measure
a hungry bit of you too long dormant
craving my touch,
thirsty to swim in my waters again,
Oh my darling man,
the time for questions
and doubts
and waiting
is past.
And while you are taking me
deep
hard
and fast,
biting my lip softly,
touching me to distraction
my heart might find it's way
from my mouth to yours,
creep in,
slip past your tongue
and wrap itself around yours
for good.

So if you dance with me again,
prepare yourself my love.
This time, it's for keeps.
