Teasing at electrified air

“’Like a pillar: seen not heard but carrying the weight!’ Is this your mantra?” he asked reading the cue-cards I’d spent the last few minutes on.
“Mantra? I believe it if that’s what you’re asking. I respect it if that’s what you’re too afraid to ask. I fear that one day I’ll be exactly like it and I fear that I never will be able to carry the weight,” my explanation wasn’t what he’d wanted, I knew that because I knew him... know him. He never meant for me to be angry, always trying to protect me, even from me.
“Sorry,” he mumbled inaudibly, leaving me at the table to go rummage through the pantry for a snack.
“Hey, I’m the one who should be sorry. I didn’t mean to be so mean. I’m too much in my own head, I don’t realise what I’m saying until after I’ve hurt you,” I said sliding myself onto the counter talking to his back.
“Cookies or candy?” he asked holding a bag of choc-chip cookies and another of my favourite red liquorice sticks.
“Cookies,” I instinctively answered. “No, wait... candy. Could we just try both?” I asked sheepishly.
“Sure,” he said planting a kiss on my forehead, sweeping my too long bangs back behind my ear. “Anything you want,” that was all I needed to hear to know I was forgiven.
“Where’re you going without me?” I asked trying to clamour down from the counter. Noticing my struggle he came to my aid, standing between my legs forcing our torsos against each other, to pick me up in his arms. I quickly kissed his cheek but he didn’t let go, trying to hold onto me for a little longer.
Swiftly he took my face in his hands holding my chin, tilting it up so that I could see his every intention in his eyes.
The kiss was rough and with every second passing us by, increased exponentially in passion until both were crying out for air.
As lips broke apart nimble fingers sort supple, tender, taut flesh. Bodies inched closer making intentions known loudly and clearly as our brains shut down and our bodies took over. Passion ignited as our bodies forgot how to act and remembered how to play.
“I was always rushing never savouring a single moment in time. Now I’m just set on experiencing this one with you,” I said breaking our kiss as he carried me out the kitchen.
“No cue-cards needed?”
“No cue-cards needed,” I agreed kissing him again and again and again.
