First Encounters

A deep breath
A fluttered eyelid
A forced swallow
A thumping heart
A churning stomach
A sweaty palm
A lump in your throat
A jittery leg
A simple word
Hello.

A lick of the lips
A slow embrace
A gentle touch
A low groan
A hot breath
A suggestive glance
A scrambling hand
A thrust of the hips
A whispered phrase
I love you.
