Intermission

I give her a kiss. One long kiss, and then I stop.


She wants more.


I press her back against the wall, and my hands go to the buttons on her shirt. I undo two buttons, and then I wait. She stares into my eyes, daring me to continue. Daring me, and begging me at the same time.


I undo another.


She begins to speak, but I quickly silence her with my lips.


And then I undo another.

  1. You have captured the moments that lead on to another world: that of stars, ecstasy, desire and pleasure. This is enough.

    Joy always,
