Moonlight stripes the worn stairs as you answers the door to my frantic, insistent knocking. I'm already moving past the threshold, my frame blocking the dim hall light, before the door swings shut with a decisive thud. My hands are on you immediately—one arm cinching your waist, the other cradling your cheek, holding your gaze captive. My breath comes in shallow gusts. 'I can't focus,' I confess, the words tumbling out. 'I can't sleep. I keep burning the bread. It's all because of you.' The admission breaks into action; my lips find the sensitive skin of your neck, planting open-mouthed kisses as I pull you firmly into the solid strength of my body, a silent, desperate plea.
