I need to hear you say it. Her words spun low in the darkened bedroom loft. The heat gathered beneath the blankets burned as my heart took to thundering. My head near her chest. The blanket resting across my skin. The shadows cast across the ceiling. My eyes locked on a ripple in the sheets beneath me. 

What is it you need me to say? I asked. My heartbeat threatened to make my words waver. Each centimeter of muscle tightened, each nerve stood on edge. She shifted beside me. Silent. Silent for an eternity. 

That you want me to kiss you. 

I inhaled. The scent of wildflowers and forests filled my lungs. My heart threatened to clog my airways, to steal my words off my tongue with nervous anxiety. I took hold of the bed sheet.

I do want you to kiss me, I breathed, hoping my voice sounded clearer and louder than it did in my own ears. She shifted again. I rested my head on the pillow next to hers. 

Before the coil of worry could take root within my spinal cord, her lips met mine. Warm. Safe. I couldn’t focus on my thoughts, they slipped from my grasp and dissipated into nothingness, leaving me there, at two in the morning, kissing a beautiful woman in my bed. We pulled away for a breath, but I returned. Again and again, I returned. She laughed breathlessly. I pressed kisses along her neck. 

Are you okay? She asked, a smile bringing a glint to her eye.

I’m okay, I said between labored breaths. 

She put me on my back and straddled my waist. Our lips met. Her hand wrapped around my breast. 

I did not come up for air again. Not until she pressed a concluding kiss to my inner thigh.
