The colors.

The way reality around me seemed to vanish replaced with the universe he created with his mouth.

The symphony of lips crashing together is an euphonium I never thought I'd experience again.

His tongue invaded my mouth. I accepted him immediately, rolling my tongue around with his. Our mouths remained opened, leaving a stage for our tongues to dance around each other. We finally closed our mouths, my tongue now trapped in his mouth.

He groaned as he sucked on my tongue. I felt all the pent up stress I had built up leave me and became a part of him. We paused the kiss and stared at each other. He was panting heavily; I was as well.

"I've missed this," he said as he brushed my hair with his fingers. "You have no idea how glad I am that I found you again."

"Don't. Ever. Do. What you did. Again," I said, emphasizing the important parts.

"I swear it," he assured me and kissed me again. "You have my word."

"Alright then," I said and let out a sigh of relief.

I attempted to kiss him again but the sound of his stomach growling interrupted us.

"Maybe after dinner," I said while laughing.

"I'm so sorry about that," he apologized and covered his face.

We had our dinner while talking about the events of the day. He shared the first time he had to attend to a case like that and how scared he was. But just like how he stepped in to help when it was his own crisis, Ben had stepped in.

I also shared my stories, like the time an expectant mother wasn’t sure of her due date, and on the day she came to inquire, she gave birth. When I had dinner with my dad, dinner had never tasted so good.

After five months when it was over before it began, maybe there was an opportunity for a chance to start all over again.

Why I Did It

Stacy

It was the most peaceful night I had gotten in months. I don't know when I ordered a body pillow, but it definitely made the night comfortable. I squeezed it, bit into it, and lay on top of it. It was the most comfortable thing I had ever owned. The only problem was I didn't have a body pillow. I opened my eyes and found myself on someone.

"Finally awake?" a baritone voice said, boosted by the blessing of a new morning.

"What? Good morning," I greeted and rubbed my eyes awake.

I blinked twice before finally coming to my senses.

"What the fuck?!" I yelled and got up.

"Good morning to you too," Ethan said and looked at me with a warm smile.

"You scared me," I said. I held my chest and tried to calm myself.

Looking around I tried to make sense of what had happened. I was in the living room. I never slept in my own room. I noticed the tray holding the plates from last night's meal. Ethan was still dressed in the previous days clothes, well relaxed on the couch with his hands behind his head.

"I don't know why you're screaming," he sighed. "Try putting yourself in the shoes of a man who woke up to being bitten by a woman who was half asleep."

I held my mouth as I recalled my delusion of being with a body pillow. I was actually biting him.

My cheeks turned red from embarrassment.

"What happened?" I asked.
