I closed my eyes and let the memories come flooding back.

The images were crystal clear, and there was no doubt in my mind that years from now they would not grow any fuzzier.

Like or it or not, that day was now imprinted into my mind, left to haunt me for the rest of my days.

His lips glided across my skin as he worked his magic. He sprinkled tender kisses upon my neck; showering me with love. Each kiss ignited a spark of passion inside me.

 My chest bobbed up and down as I heaved to catch my breathe.

Riley’s mouth moved down to my collar bone as his pace quickened, along with my breathing. My heart banged against my ribs; threatening to burst through.

My fingernails were sunk into his skin as my hands clung to him for dear life. His skin had a thin layer of sweat beginning to form, as did I.

He shimmied his lips lower, and lower, until they paused at my right breast. He kissed the swollen skin peeking out from my bra. 

His sneaky hands roamed my body freely, as the explored every inch of my body. It wasn’t until his fingertips brushed my inner thigh that I snapped back into reality.

“R-R-Riley” I gasped.

He ignored my voice and continued to torment my body.

“Riley!” I pleaded urgently.

With one last kiss, his lips peeled from my skin.

 He relaxed and threw his body down on the empty space next to me. The bed bounced as the bed adjusted to his weight.

He stared at the ceiling as he gathered his bearings.

‘Riley, I’m sorry. It’s just that we aren’t-“

“I know, I know. I’m a prince and you’re a maid and it’s strictly against the rules. You don’t have to remind me.”

We laid there side by side without any words spoken. I moved my head to rest it on his chest and listened to his heartbeat eventually slow back down to a normal rate. Riley’s arm was bent around me and his hand rested on the small of my back.

The sound of our breathing filled the room and droned on until finally, we drifted off to sleep.

The cold tile of the floor stung the bottoms of my feet as I tippy-toed towards the shower. The water had reached the right temperature and steam was rising from above the curtain.

Two hands darted out from my sides and before I could run they snapped around my waist and dragged me backward until my back touched skin.

Heat puffed on my neck as Riley nuzzled his nose into my neck. His soft breathe teased and tickled my body as I tried to squirm free. I squealed like a two year old girl as he jerked me closer to him.

“I missed you” He mumbled against my skin.

He began to pepper me with gentle kisses. His lips would barely skim my skin as he tormented my body.

My body reacted naturally, bending back to give him more room to work.

His arms unraveled from around me. His fingertips skated across my stomach in intricate patterns.

I glanced at our reflection in the mirror. The edges were growing fuzzy as the mirror began to grow foggy. I couldn’t decide which was causing it; the steam from the shower, or the steam from our love.
