Wide Open Spaces

Come On Get Higher

2007;

Stevie was painting in the garden in her glass studio. She wore paint splattered overalls with a little bandeau top underneath and she was barefoot. Lindsey saw freckles on her shoulders, noticing she had been in the sun more often recently. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck. She leaned into it, turning around in his arms.

"Are the babies asleep?" She asked, kissing him passionately.

"Yep, we have a little time"

"Perfect" she said. "Mmmm you look so sexy"

"Me? My god, woman. You are every man's dream"

"The only one I want is you" she whispers. His hands slide down her back, landing at the back of her thighs and she wraps her legs around his waist. "Take me to my room, baby" She kisses his lips then his chin, neck and chest.

"Your wish is my command" He says and pushes her through to the house. They're touching, groping, pulling clothes off as they make their way down the hallway. He pushes her against the wall and she giggles softly, lips crashing into each other's hard.

"Mmmmm" she moans, "I can't wait" she says. She gets down momentarily so she could remove her underwear and leaves her overalls on the floor. They head naked into her room and she pushes him onto the bed, straddling him. The radio is on, the window slightly cracked and the breeze blows her bamboo wind chime. She forces him inside of her and they both gasp at the contact.

"I love you" he says.

"I love you too" she says. She finds a rhythm, the music filling them both.

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

He strokes her beautiful body, the one that created their children. He was amazed by her every movement on top of him. He was so deep inside of her as she slammed her hips down onto his. She delighted in the slight pain she felt as he thrust into her from below, fully in sync. They connected on such a deep and otherworldly level. Soul to soul. Though they had divorced three years ago, they were never so in love. In their case, breaking up was the best thing that could have ever happened to them. The lines were constantly blurred and they liked it this way. There wasn't a need for labels here.

I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

"God, baby you feel so good!"

"So do you! Yes, Lindsey! Mmmm...so good, yes!" She moaned, touching herself for him to watch. She bit her lip, squeezing a breast. He could feel her twitch as she got closer and closer to the edge but she didn't stop. He loved to watch her.

"Jesus, I love you so much. That's it baby, come for me."

"Mmmm....Lindsey!" she moaned. He held onto her hips, smoothing the soft skin of her body. She was a goddess and he was all too happy to fully give himself to her. "Dominate me, Linds. Take me" He wrapped his ankles around hers slightly and rolled them over on her king size bed. He was on top of her now, her cheeks flushed, her lips plump and ruby red. He kissed her, bruising her pillow-like pout. As they broke apart she smiled, closing her eyes to soak in every sensation. He slammed into her and she knew he was close.

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la

Ooh Ooh Ooh

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

It's all wrong, it's all wrong
It's all wrong, it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms.

The song had ended more than a half hour ago but it seemed to repeat for them. The words, the soft vocals took over as their pace became slower and much more steady with their simultaneous release.

"Please, don't stop, Lindsey"

"Honey, I would love to continue. Let me recover from that. It was...wow. You're amazing." He says, withdrawing.

"Wow is right..." she says, catching her breath.

"I love you, baby" He stands up and kisses her, going to find his jeans.

"I love you too" Stevie says. "Will you find my clothes too?"

"Yeah, no problem" he calls back. He's gone for a minute or two and hands her everything that had been taken off in the fervor.

"Do you still want me to come to your room tonight?" She asks, pulling on her underwear and putting her bandeau back on.

"Oh yeah." He says. He zips up his jeans and pulls his shirt over his head. "I can't believe how insanely hot you are. Looking at you never gets old"

"Will you still be saying that in 5 years?" He nods. "How about ten?" He nods again, wrapping his arms around his half-dressed lover.

"I will be saying it for the next 50 years if you let me"

"You make me so very happy."

"You make me very happy too, Steph" She rises to her tip toes to give him the most feather light kiss, looking into his eyes.

"I'm going to go check on the babies, then do you want to have lunch? I'll cook"

"It's a date" he says with a wink, watching her go. I'm so lucky to have a girl like her, he thinks to himself. So damn lucky!
