Scary!!!
Just hold my heart in my hands and use it like a squeeze toy, why don't you?!?!
I jauntily climb up the cliff face, sticking my nimble fingers into each and every place where the sun don't shine (how dare your dirty minds come to that conclusion!). My mighty fine muscles flex and contract to hoist me up the mountain.
"Mwah," the sound comes as I kiss my muscles
Poetry in motion.
I snort out loud at my internal thoughts.
Eventually, sweat pouring down my back in cool rivulets, I collapse onto my back.
My equally fine husband soon follows suit, having been right behind. Our pairs of eyes lock together as we lie down next to each other, shades of chestnut connecting with shades of hazel.
We share a... chaste... kiss.
Ah.
Yes.
It had been... exceptionally chaste.
We had been oh so responsible, with his hands wrapped up in my short, brown hair and mine encircling his slender, toned chest. With a gentle, affirming squeeze of his arms around me, he mischievously whispered "I love you, Adam," into my ears. The light breath tickles my face, a chuckle escaping my lips.
The devious devil! He knows that titillates me!
And to be so hot in front of all the innocent vacation-goers here?
"So scandalous... You are such a rogue, my dearest. I love you, Colton," I say mock-aghast, lovingly whispering back to him.
"No, no, no. That's all you, honeybunches," he tosses back to me with a slow, amused enunciation.
We kiss again, before sitting up to watch the sunny-side-up egg yellow sunset from our towering vantage point. Delicate red banners of clouds cross the huge solar body that dominates the sky with its sheer mass. He leans onto my shoulder, and with the firm rust-red substrate beneath us and the dimming sky above, become the only two in our universe.
Careful of the gentle weight of my husband's head, his rough buzz cut humorously poking into my cheek lightly, I take a deep breath in and just...
enjoy this moment with him. I place my arm around his shoulders and lean against him, both of us gazing at the impossibly vast celestial object of rich, fiery splendor.
Thick muscular fingers wrap around my neck, nails, encrusted with dirt from a day of climbing, digging into my flesh painfully.
And just like that.
I swallow some spit.
A sensation forms in my chest. It's so cold it burns, drawing my lungs tight.
Just like that. We fall.
My head is forcefully rammed into a blunt cliff rock.
Pink-orange paste splays over out the shadowed valley, bones illuminated yellow in the sunset light.
Sinew hangs and stretches over the broken shards of like a tent's cover over metal poles.
