Neither of us got much sleep that night.
It was as though we were discovering each other's body all over again, each taking our sweet time to study each crevice and crease on the other.
He had been so tender and sweet, scattering kisses all over my feverish body as he held me close in the tub.
The water was no longer cold, but not particularly warm either, which caused goosebumps to spread all over my skin, making me all the more sensitive to his touch.
We spent a long time in the water, looking into each other's eyes in the dim light from the candles that surrounded us.
He was beautiful in this light - I had no idea that it was possible for a man to even be this attractive.
Not that I had much first-hand experience with men, to begin with.
The distance between us seemed to grow smaller, little by little and something in the air changed. I noticed that his breathing had picked up slightly and I soon found mine synchronizing with his.
