He fought to hide his nerves as he guided her, her hand locked in his, steering her gently up the steps and now nearer to the curtain. No matter how many times he had avid passion before, there was always a moment of butterflies, of raw adrenaline that pumped through his soul. She felt the same nervousness, but attraction had brought the two of them together thus far, and the risk of love was too great to stop now.
However this time she followed blindly, her eyes wide with curiosity underneath a wrinkled neck tie serving as an impromptu blindfold, her skin tingling with anticipation for what would happen next. Surprised by every sound, she was startled when he pulled aside the curtain and turned the faucet so water began to pour into the naked basin of the shower.
She laughed playfully without wanting to, her expression giving away her bewilderment, trying to question if his wild intent was indeed as genuine as his craving. He was receptive to her response, but was simply beside himself looking at her as she wore the most perfect smile. It was enough to make his heart race out of control. So as steam began to cloud the tension between them, finally unable to contain his hunger any longer, he grabbed her underneath her shoulders and hoisted her into the path of the falling stream. Blindsided, her natural reaction was to object and resist, but before she had a chance of speaking he matched her fervor, and underneath water raining down onto them he kissed her.
And in that kiss he stole the breath out of her lungs.
Suddenly nothing else mattered.
Not the clothes now soaking against their skin. Not the steps that led them to this enchanted scene. Not the problems of the past nor the uncertainty of the future. In that moment, as their lips were sealed together, her thoughts, her fears, her ambitions, even her very heartbeat, everything simply flat-lined. In that moment with their skin pressed tightly against each other under the descending droplets, their bodies and souls were freed; unchained from their cages, they melted into each other. In that moment, there was nothing else in their lives but that perfectly blissful kiss.
It was as if they could live their entire lives in that single kiss, and every need and desire would have been forever satisfied.
