I ran my nails down her unprotected, vulnerable throat. She gasped but did nothing to protect herself or even tilt her head down. My hand settled at the bottom of her throat and grasped it possessively.
Her green eyes rested on mine for several breaths, breaths of hers that I could feel through my grip of her throat.
“Why do you need to hurt me?”
There was no judgment or accusation in her voice; the question came from her deep desire to understand me. To understand us.
I thought on the answer for a time that seemed longer than it really was.
“It’s my nature,” I answered and pulled her towards me by the throat to kiss her.
I just got a text that is so beautiful that I want to share it with everyone. Everyone: this is GentleSpirit.
Making love to you is about the journey and not the destination. I love it and it’s wonderful, all of it, and I want to get lost with you.
And sometimes we will get lost on the wrong side of town but I will feel safe because I know you won’t let any harm come to me. Other times we will get lost and discover the most beautiful parts of each other and we will be in awe at the raw beauty we see.
But the most important thing is that we take this journey together, holding hands until we finally reach our ultimate destiny. I love you.
I love you too, girl.
