**********
The first time was dark, desperate.
Lonely.
Fueled by an urge to connect. An urge to ease the pain.
This time it's passion, heat.
Desire.
A celebration of what was lost. And what's been gained.
This time it's love.
Trembling hands run through hair. Not for the first time, but
it feels new.
Lips touch. Not for the first time, but it feels powerful.
A kiss turns to two. Then three. Then more.
A rustle of clothes. A stumble down a dark hallway.
Laughter.
Covers thrown back. A scramble to climb in.
Eyes meet. Breaths catch.
Bodies touch. Not for the first time, but it feels like
lightning.
A kiss on the temple. Reverent.
A kiss on the lips. Hungry.
Fingers splayed across bare skin. Sighs mingled. Lips touching.
Hearts beat erratically.
Whispers. Endearments. Pleas.
Tears.
Names cried from each other's lips.
Two become one. Not for the first time, but not for the last.
