Burning with Love

She opened the door to her room and moved in. The door closed with a loud thud behind her. She was terrified and rushed to find the switchboard, but was pulled back and pinned to the door. She was on the verge of crying now. Her face dimly lit from the streetlights outside. There was this manly shadow towering over her. She couldn't see the face.

Controlling her tears, she managed to ask, "Who are you?" Her voice breaking down. The shadow lowered his head and caught her lips with his own. The lips, they felt familiar to her, but she kept her lips zipped. The shadow grabbed her wrists and held them over her head with one hand. He grabbed her waist and moved closer to her.

It all reminded her of someone, but her reasonable mind gave no reasons for his presence. He moved his lips to her cheek. His hot breath fanning over there, he pecked her. She asked again, "Who are you? How did you come in?" He moved to her ear and nibbled on her earlobe.

Her brave front was giving up slowly. Tell me who you are or I'm going to shout, she said. He didn't even flinch, instead, he moved down and sucked on the hollow of her neck. The situation was scary, but this sent chills down her spine. She didn't want to admit it, but she liked the sensation it made.

He moved to her collarbone, nibbling there. She was struggling to get her hands free. He slid them to his neck. She felt the mark, the same mark that was on her past lover's neck. It all made sense now, the cologne and the wet bathroom floor. Only he had the key to her house. She was overwhelmed with the realization. She started to cry out of joy. It's been so long since they last met. She grabbed his face and kissed him hard. Now that she got hold of him, she didn't want to leave him.

She caressed the mark on the back of his neck with her fingers. She tried looking at his face, but the darkness didn't let her. She asked him, "You know how much I craved for you? How much I missed you?" In response, he just nodded to her and came closer as if trying to remove all the distance between them. She tangled her fingers in his hair, pulling him more into her.

She was feeling ecstatic. His body against her after so long was making her go crazy. Him, as if sensing her want of being touched by him, he picked her up, her legs around his waist and them still kissing.
