Save Me A Breath...

Breathless;  she turned around and asked him....
"Can you help me?"

"Yes, my love", he said.

Her eyes focused at her feet, holding her one hand onto her heart.

He moved forward,worried, feeling she might just faint.

"Tell me love, what happened ? What do you need ?", he asked anxiously.

"I can't breathe",was all she could utter. And then she looked up, all teary eyed....

"Kiss Me" boring her eyes into his she said, "Save me please".

Astonished, he staggered a bit, but got a hold on to himself.
Holding his breath, he stepped forward. Slipping his arm around her waist he pulled her up straight, closer to himself....so as to feel her warm breath caressing his face.

She hadn't blinked her eyes off his face, expressions of a caged bird; her eyes bore deeper into his. She put her arm around his neck. Her breath heaving as if she's about to collapse.

He pulled her so close into his embrace, they could feel the heartbeats pounding against each other's. She closed her eyes.

He slightly leaned towards her and placed his warm lips against her's. As cold as they could be he still felt the warmth of her breath.
Shivers ran down her spine and she lost control of herself, tumbling a little.
He tightened his grip around her waist....pulling her closer....sweeping her off her feet.
He could sense the rising hair at the back of his neck. He can no longer hold on the temptation of her touch.
And he kissed her deeper.

He could feel her wet cheeks as tears rolled down her face.

It stirred his soul.He moved his hand all over her back....caressing her....trying to tone down her senses....making her realise that she was only his to be.
The soothing calm that settled in her.

He pulled his face back a little....just to look at her face. And she was still crying....eyes closed.
Her face had gone to shades of pink, lips turned red.
He kissed her eyes....and her forehead...her cheeks.

His breath as soothing as it could be for her....she stopped crying.

"Open your eyes", he said.

"I don't want to", she replied.

"Why"?, he asked

"I don't wanna lose you", she just said &.....blushed.
She bore her face into his chest...sinking in the whiff of his cologne.
Smiling silly to his ears....He tightened his embrace....crushing her almost....feeling every fragment of her body against his.

'She was hers, finally, he thought to himself.' As if he's got the wish of his life.
He rested his nose against hers, both feeling their warm breaths....caressing each others face....tingling their senses.

Gently, he picked her up into his arms & she rested her head onto his shoulder; eyes still closed.

He took her to the couch by the window and sat there quietly....With her on his lap...not letting go of the embrace.
"Look at me for once, will ya", he requested.
She shook her head," No, I feel shy", she said.
"Please", with the baritone in his voice one couldn't resist...He requested again.
And there; coyly shifting in his arms, she opened her eyes, gazing deep into his eyes, feeling her breath once again.

Like a thunder lightning bolt, it struck his soul, and he couldn't resist her anymore.

He softly kissed her forhead again.

"Kiss Me back to life, my love", was all she whispered.

He moved down from kissing her forehead to her eyes to her cheeks once more settling onto her warm trembling lips.

"I love you lots, my love", he whispered into the heaving breath of hers.

"I love you too", she whispered into his soul.

There....into his arms...that night...
Their kiss was eternal.

He saved her breath and she saved his soul right back.
