Nervous Couple

“You okay, Sweetie?” He whispered in my ear, voice ragged. As he said this, he tightened his arm around my waist, moving me impossibly closer. I shivered, his icy hand brushing bare skin accidentally.

I leaned my head down his shoulder, my one hand resting on his bare chest. I took a deep breath and attempted audible words, but despite my try I could only speak in a whisper.

“Well besides my heart, which is trying to fight its way out of my chest, the fact you leave me breathless, just by being near and the nervous butterflies which haven’t left me since you got here, I’m perfectly fine.”

He chuckled quietly and wrapped his other arm around me. “Good, because I’m willing to bet all that will be getting worse for both of us.”

I leaned back, keeping my hand on his chest, and looked him in the eyes, cocking my head slightly in question. “Whatcha mean?” I asked stupidly.

He laughed again, flicked his eyes to my lips and then leaned in, quickly closing the distance between us and kissed my lips.
