The Revelation #9
She stood up and went to the fridge, hoping there was still a couple of steaks left. There were only two left. She put them on the grill then put a packet of raw fries in the oven. She watched as the meat sizzled on the grill. The red meat looked appetizing, it sang to her as it cooked, alluring her with its song. She was tempted to grab it and shove it in her mouth. The thought made her mouth water.
Ash grunted, breaking her gaze and her fantasy.
She shuddered. She couldn’t believe she was contemplating eating raw meat! She opened the fridge and took out a beer, then walked back to the living and sat on the floor against the couch. She listened to Ash’s heavy breathing as she gulped down the beer, hoping one or both of the two would keep her distracted from the meat.
“Lee?” Ash spoke in a sleepy voice. She was relieved he was awake.
She put the bottle down and turned to face him. “Hey there, sleepy head.” She smiled at him.
His face lit up when his vision finally focused on her. He smiled her smile. “I could get used to this.”
She moved on her knees and bent over him, leaning on the couch for support. “Get used to what?”
“Your face being the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last when I go to sleep.” He lifted her by the elbows and pulled her upper body over his. “I want to get a closer look, *mi amor*.” His voice was soft.
“Was that French?” The words barely got out, her breathing had quickened.
“No, Spanish. The language makes all the love words sound sweeter.”
She didn’t respond, her attention was consumed elsewhere.
He starred into her eyes, keeping her locked in place with his gaze. She could feel her heart racing; it was getting even more difficult to breathe. He pulled her closer, lifting her lower body with his leg and placing her between his thighs on the couch. It was getting even more difficult for her to stay sane.
“That’s better.”
He locked his lips with hers and pulled her down. He kissed her, not as he usually did, it was soft, light, like he was taking his time making sure he got as much as he could from each kiss. She could feel her insides tighten. She pushed her hands under his shoulders, pulling him closer as she pushed herself against him. He put his hand under her shirt, and placed it on her bare back. His warm hand on her skin aroused her. She pulled away and buried her face in his neck, breathing in his sweet scent. The clothes suddenly felt like a huge barrier between them.
“Lee...” his sweet voice whispered in her ear.
“Umm”
“We aren’t going to do this, not now.” There it was, the buzz kill!
