Passions Only

The final box was deposited just as the sunset bled honey and rose gold across the bare wooden floors, our shared exhaustion melting into a new, electric awareness. He didn't speak, only extended a hand, his calloused palm a warm promise against mine as he led me from the empty living room. In the soft, grey twilight of our new kitchen, his lips found the frantic pulse at my throat, a silent language that made my knees tremble against the cool cabinets. Our breath mingled, quick and shallow, as his hands traced the arch of my back, learning its landscape with a reverent touch. I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, drowning in the scent of his skin and the faint, clean perfume of the spotless sheets waiting upstairs. A soft, breathless sigh escaped me when he lifted me, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carried me toward the staircase, our laughter a nervous, joyful echo in the hollow spaces. Every room we consecrated was a whispered vow, a silent promise built not with words, but with lingering glances and tangled limbs. The world narrowed to the feeling of his chest against mine, the rhythm of our hearts syncing in the quiet dark. Later, curled together in a nest of blankets on the floor, his steady breathing was the only lullaby I needed. We had written our first story in this house not with ink, but with the gentle, passionate map we left upon the air itself.
