Dance of Passion

She took a few quick, mindless steps toward him before turning away, allowing her hair to fall in a curtain over her eyes. Then, she turned to look at him again, coming closer still. He took a few steps toward her, mirroring her actions in a way, and she turned from him again, still unsure of what she wanted. 

She was within arm's length of him now, and he reached out, firmly clasping her wrist as she made to turn away again, pulling her back instead. Before she could make any move whatsoever, his lips were against hers. At first, she tried to pull away, horrified. She was still angry with him. Wasn't she? But then, it was as if a wave washed over her mind, putting it to sleep, and she closed her eyes, melting into his kiss. 

As quickly as they'd seemed to vacate her frenzied mind, her thought processes returned and she wriggled from his grasp, angrily walking away. He was quick though, and soon caught up, taking her hand once more, pulling her toward him. Unsteady on her feet, she crashed against his chest before abruptly pulling herself upright, crossing her arms firmly across her chest. he held up his hands like an offering, shrugging his shoulders. 

There was a moment where they were both silent, frozen before at the same time, they both took the few steps forward so they were standing inches from one another. Her eyes were fire, and his were ice, slowly, helplessly melting it. He reached out a gentle hand, brushing a finger against the skin of her cheek, causing her to tremble involuntarily as a chill ran down her spine. His fingers trailed lightly down the length of her face before coming to rest around her chin, his palm barely touching it's pointed, bony surface. She took a cautious step backwards, wordlessly staring at him, taking him in as he stood seemingly frozen in place. 

It all happened so quickly. She could feel her heart thudding against her rib cage. Her shoulders slumped in lazy exhaustion as she allowed her mind to succumb to the yearning of her heart. His eyes slowly widened, his mouth fallingopen a moment before abruptly closing again as she came at him, her hand thrust out before her, forcefully grabbing his shirt in it's fist and pulling him to her. She closed her eyes as their mouths met. All her body was on fire, and his kiss seemed the sole cure, melting the invisible heat and sending a wave of calm washing through her. 

Exhausted, she collapsed into his open arms, finally melting as he placed a light peck on the top of her head, interlacing their fingers together and pulling her up so he could look into her eyes. She let out a breath before a relaxed smile replaced her earlier, seemingly glued on frown. His eyes softened as he looked at her, the woman he loved and her smile was mirrored in him as he lost himself in the moment.
