Copper Pennies and Honey

We dance to a symphony of breath and sighs

My fingers trace the curve of your waist over your soft cotton shirt

nails grazing and scraping at the exposed skin above your hip as you lift your arms

I push my palms against you and squeeze,

I know I'm leaving marks where my fingers dig in but I can't help it.

excitement and anticipation flood my system

even as arousal heats my core

The soft kisses we've shared grow feverish with need

I need more,

I need to feel more,

More of your soft skin,

Your shirt slips up easily with my guidance

The pads of my thumbs smooth along your the stomach

counting every rib as glide up

The swells of your breasts invite my cupping hands

I leave a trail of bite marks from your ear to your neck

to your collar bone.

Pushing you back I feel predatory

but the smile teasing your lips lets me know it's what you want too

I tug on your jeans,

fumbling with the fly as I try to remove the tight denim from your sharp hip bones

Your thighs don't tremble

You're too composed for that

My stomach fills with butterflies and I need you

I lower myself down and kiss your skin

My tongue blazes a hot path to wear I know you need me most

I drown in you,

In copper pennies and honey.
