All Shall Be Well and Manner of Thing Shall Be Well

Waves were in the distance. Barely audible. It was dark now. January’s early sunset had arrived swiftly, sending the people along the streets to huddle in crowded cafes and boisterous bars. Cars drifted along roads with yellow and white headlights piercing through the incoming fog. Coat collars were turned up and arms were linked as strangers moved along in the world just beyond the onsen’s walls. Inside, none of that mattered.

She had asked for the lights to remain off, so that the only glow permeating the space was the filtered ambience cast from distant street lamps. In the safety and seclusion of the darkened room, nervous fingers fumbled to undo buttons and clasps. Passion was measured, not rushed. Her vial was escorted and tied around her undressed waist by steady hands. Lips traced unknown curves of skin and found resting spots at the cue of sighs and moans.

Rustling sheets from a warm bed were pulled aside as fabric from clothes was slid from skin and set to the shelf. Whispered words meant only for their ears broke through the stillness and reached the longing ears of the other. Fingers ran along cheekbones, jaws, throats, collarbones, breasts, stomachs and waists before arriving at long awaited destinations.

Saliva, perspiration, and glistening anticipation flowed from curved forms and feminine ridge as steadied breaths blended into one.

I need you. I craved you.

I have desired you for a thousand nights and a thousand lives.

Her nails pressed into the softly-lit muscles of His back as his head moved from her stomach to her inner thighs. His breath was soft and cool as his lips met her sacred skin.

Her sigh was different that time. Longing, ecstasy, and the full blossoming of womanhood escaped in that gasp. His moan of acknowledgement pushed her even further.

I would have been yours forever. I am.

You taste of honey and the sea. You taste divine.

Don’t stop. I like that. Just like that? Don’t stop.

I love hearing your moans.

I’m ready.

I want to feel you.

I want you to consume me.

Her skin was alight. His blood was flowing more intensely than ever before. Deep within their bones and spirit, their energy blended together and tied their souls fully into one.

Her hands slowly pushed his chest so that he laid back on the bed. Now it was her time to explore. Now it was his turn to moan.

Now was never and always. Forever was an instant and seconds were a lifetime. Distant voices echoed like calls from a faraway cave, but they paid them no mind. Now she was crawling to him and wrapping her legs around him.

I’m ready.

I want you. Always.

Always.

He entered and she enveloped him in the warmth and softness of the portal of souls. Their mouths met as they both moaned in desire fulfilled.

He laid back deeper into the bed as she pushed him from the chest. Her face was mere inches from his, her eyes taking in every facet of his cheeks, his eyes, his lips.

His fingers combed their way into her hair and pressed her head to his. Hips spoke to one snother without words and moved in harmony.

Just like that. I like that. I like that pace.

I do too. You feel amazing.

I’m almost. I’m going to. I.

There was a gasp as something far greater than any familiar pleasure burst through her body in trembling rapture. Muscles contracted and spasmed. It lasted for moments and she carved them into the walls of her mind so that never again would she feel unwanted, undesired, or unloved.

Then she was on her back and now he was above her. Feet slid along legs and wrapped around waist. Eyes met. He moved slower now, so that every sensation could be felt. There was no fear of failure, or concern of appearance, or thoughts of faraway trees. Only of one another.

Do you like this way?

I do. You feel so good.

Do you?

I do. You are so perfectly beautiful.

I want to make you feel how I just felt.

This feels amazing. I want to take my time.

Ages passed. Kingdoms rose and fell. Time did not exist inside those walls. His breathing was heavy now. He was close. Sweat mingled together as skin rubbed against skin. She sighed once more.

Okay. Okay. I’m.

Stay here. Stay here in me. I want all of you. I want to feel all of you. I am yours.

His moans we’re so unfamiliar and alluring, her senses abandoned reason. All of her body called out to his as she pulled him as close as humanly possible.

Inside, the energy was radiant now. It swam through their blood like a river current. Every molecule of their being knew the other and they were spent. His lips found hers once more as he gasped to catch his breath.

I love you.

I love you.

Her hands were there in his hair. His fingers slid along her face. Tears flowed from both of them as they clung to each other in the blackened void of the room. Sleep overtook them with ease. Before they could even adjust the sheets or fix the half set blanket, they were fast asleep in one another’s arms.
