The cool, ocean breeze blew the curtain gently as she slowly got up from her bed walking toward the open balcony door. The wind was blew coolly against her warm skin as she wrapped the dark green silk robe closer around her body. The thought of that last night was still etched in her mind. The scent of his body next to hers, the gentle sounds of his voice whispering softly into her ear. As she stared at the brightly shining stars, she said the first words that popped into her mind.
"Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have this first wish, I wish tonight," she gently whispered before continuing. "If you are there, please tell me if these are dreams or are all of my dreams reality and all of this reality, a dream. Are these memories what I have to live with for the rest of my life, if they are, then you have taken my world, my love, and my life."
The stars twinkled away, not answering her plea, but her plea would soon be answered. Without any further words, she left the room, her home, and walked down to the beach, where they had first met, where they had first kissed, and where they had first made love. The light of the moon threw a shimmering glow against the dark ocean surface as she sat down on the cool sand, she remembered the night that he had left, left her in pain and sorrow. The night that her dreams were shattered.
She remembered the pleading in those strong, beautiful eyes that made her forget all the rest of the world and focus on just him and her. As she sat there watching the waves crash against the beach, the memories of that last night with the man she loved flooded her as her mind replayed that night once again.
**************
The room glowed with candlelight as he slowly took her hand in his leading her into the bedroom that they had shared as she looked at him with pleading, yet questioning eyes. As they stood in the middle of the room, she breathed the one word that he wanted to hear against his lips. "Yes," she told him as she softly pressed her lips against his. His lips began to play against hers in a sweet, yet sexual motion she could feel one of his arms slowly run down one of her legs as the other wrapped around her back hoisting her up into his arms. Their lips continued to be pressed together as the fluid motion of him doing that motion caused a slight moan to escape the back of her throat. She opened her eyes and gazed into his eyes finding the love and passion there as he slowly laid her down on the bed. The softness of the bed became a new feeling to her; everything in this man's arms became a new feeling for her. She lifted her hand and stroked his cheek as he looked into her soft blue eyes, before slowly leaning forward and brushing his soft, cool lips against hers in another kiss.
He slowly pulled back, breaking the kiss as he gazed into her eyes. A softly whispered, “I love you,” came from her lips as his hands slipped down her body until they reached her hips. Tears began to form in her eyes as he softly pulled back and said the words that she wanted to hear, "I love you, too." As the tears now streaming down her face fogged her vision, he pulled her closer to him and wiped the tears away with the pad of his thumb before our mouths met in another heated, passionate kiss. He slowly and carefully slid his body over hers, as he slid his tongue into her mouth caressing her tongue in long, sensual strokes once again. His soft, strong hands slowly undid the ties of the robe that she had been wearing and threw it off the bed, before taking her silk nightgown, sliding it over her head. He slowly broke their kiss as he trailed sweet little kisses down her neck and onto her chest. He smiled at her sexily as he slowly set his lips over her bra-covered nipple on her left breast. He softly kissed it before moving over to the right one and doing the same thing. He softly kissed her lips as he took one of his fingers and undid the hooks of her bra, which connected in the front. He slowly pulled her bra off before kissing her bare breasts.
After softly kissing each breast, he slid slowly down her body kissing every inch of it before stopping at her belly softly kissing every inch of it. She softly laughed until she felt his finger slid down into the pair of shorts and panties that she had on. She gasped as he slid one of his fingers into her wet center, feeling and see how wet she already was for him. Her gasps became moans as he slowly slid another finger in before he began to pull them out and in, in long, sensual strokes. Her breathing became ragged as she felt herself coming but he pulled his fingers all the way out before he quickly slid off her shorts and panties with one hand as he licked the other hand off.
He found his way back to her mouth and kissing her passionately letting her taste herself from his lips as she slid her arms up and around his back. Their tongues started an intimate dance as she slid her arms down his back until she felt the soft silk material of his pajama. She slowly slid them off, leaving him in his boxers. The moment where he threw his pants to the side, she could see that he was very much in a state of arousal and he saw her eyes staring at him. He softly smiled to himself before saying, "Don't worry. I will be very gentle. I promise you."
She couldn't speak to him, but just simply nodded and watched as he lay back down on top of her. As he kissed her once again, he guided her hands to the bottom of his pajama shirt. She followed his motions and in one fluid movement, the shirt now joined the rest of her clothes on the floor. As he lay back down on top of her, the now naked, soft, cool skin of his body against hers made goose bumps appear all over her body and this brought a soft, sweet laugh from his lips. The soft laughter from his lips became an icebreaker for the whole situation as she reached up and pulled him back down to kiss his now laughing lips.
As he once again lay down on top of her, she slowly broke their kiss and said in a soft, yet sexual voice. "I need you, I want you," she said before lifting her legs around his back sliding them down to the waistband of his boxers. The material slid easily between her toes and she slid them off of him tossing them to the side with her leg. She linked her legs back around his waist as he stopped them for a moment looking into her eyes as if to ask her if she really wanted this. The pleading look of pleasure, pain, and sorrow filling her eyes told him that the both of them needed this moment. "I'll be as gentle as I can," he said before he slowly slid into her. The pain of his entry and the pain of her heart falling apart became one in the same. She knew that if they went too quickly her dream would be over and she would have to continue her life without him.
He stayed that way for a few moments letting her get used to him. He looked into her eyes for a sign to continue but she didn't answer the unspoken question but softly kissed his soft, sweet lips as he knew her answer. He slowly started to thrust in and out of her in long, full filling strokes.
As he did this, he softly began to kiss her neck again as they became faster and faster. She began to moan deeply and threw her one hand up to the bedpost to hold on for the ride of her life. He kept hitting her sensitive, hot spot as he pulled in and out of her. She could feel her climax coming as her walls tightened around him as his thrusts got deeper and deeper into her. The both of them came together in cries of passion, that he softly muffled them by kissing her deeply as she began to say the same three words again as he shot his load deep inside of her.
He softly pressed his damp, strong body against hers, so not to crush her, as they caught their breath. After they found their breath, he softly pulled out of her before rolling onto his back - taking her with him. She was laying there with her cheek pressed against his chest, listening to his pounding heart as he softly caressed her back causing her to drift to sleep.
*************
The tears that fell from her eyes blinded her as she remembered the words that he spoke to her on this very beach. "My sweet lady, your dreams are mine. Your everything is mine for it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart; it was not my lips you kissed, but my soul," he told her.
The cold air coming from the ocean caused her to shiver before slowly getting up and going toward her home, the home that she had once shared with him. As she slowly walked back toward the house, the morning of his departure flooded her mind.
**************
"I can't. I can't do this anymore," he told her as he packed a single bag.
"Can't do what?" she asked him.
"Stay. Stay here," he said to her. "If I stay, then I will never leave."
"Stay? I will be here for you. I will keep your heart safe," she told him.
"I can't," he told her placing the bag over his shoulder and walking out of the bedroom.
"You are going back to her, aren't you?" she asked him, stopping him in his tracks in the middle of the staircase. The next words that came out of his mouth were the ones that had broken her heart.
"Yes," he said before walking down the rest of the steps, out the door, and out of her life.
*************
Yes.
The three-letter word that had broken her heart, shattered her dreams, and ruined her life.
Yes.
The word that now brought fresh tears to her eyes as she entered her bedroom and laid down hugging the pillow that had once been his.
Yes.
The word that was tearing her very soul apart as her tearful eyes searched the room for something that didn't remind her of him.
Yes.
The word that broke her heart, now became a new word as her eyes landed on the figure that was now standing in the doorway. She looked at him with pleading eyes and he finally spoke that word answering her unspoken question.
"Yes," he whispered. With that simple word, she knew that he was home. That he was there for good. She slowly sat up as he sat down on the bed beside her taking her hands into his.
"I'm sorry, so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," he pleaded.
"Shhh," she softly whispered as she put one finger gently against his lips. "Remember."
"I..." he began but she stopped him again.
"Remember what you said. It was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart; it was not my lips you kissed, but my soul," she told him. "And I stand by that. From this day forward, no matter what happens. You have my soul, my mind, and my love, because Nick, you are my everything."
"And, Erica, you are mine, my love, my thoughts, my everything," he gently whispered before leaning forward and delicately pressing a kiss to her lips sealing their promise and their plea, knowing that they would never be apart again.
