Regrets

I go about my daily routine with the occasional glance towards the front door, having not met with him in days.

 

The unkindness of my guilt continues to sweep me away, like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool of water, the concentric ripples of despair deluge out in all directions, leaving me seemingly empty.

 

A budding seed, not yet with the flourish of petals, passed into the dark of night.

Our night, our child, our entwined love, now gone.

 

The dried up remains engulf me with grief. How I handle that now I pray won’t contradict my beliefs. This veil I must lift and breathe from beneath this burden that suffocates me

The Greater Loss

Paces anxiously outside her room as the physician attends to my broken song bird. Guilt and self loathing spike at my conscience.

She in an acutely restless state, found lying back in the bed where her battered form lays weak. She calls out in barely a incoherent, delirious whisper, hardly able to raise her head as the  lines of her surroundings regain from the blur that veiled her sight of all light.

“Athos… Athos… Where are you?”

Unaware of your calls  I sit with head in hands lost in a miasma of darkest, tortuous anguish.  I look up as the door jars opens, my heart missing a beat, unsure if the sight of the physician heralds good or bad news. With a pounding heart and stomach churning he speaks low voiced with his verdict. My face drains ashen white and I nod. Entering the room I see your sallow pallidity strewn before me.

She  attempts to sit upright and fails miserably. Her vessels flesh has the sensation of antiquated spasms, an emptiness of configuration, the feeling that something is gone. Her mouth is dry, her soul it weeps. But why? And now she see my face, along in it’s colourless state, my features left in this sadness…forlorne

I try to smile into her pale features as I move a stray lock from her forehead. I take her limp hand, rubbing it gently with my thumb as my eyes start to pool with grief.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

She struggles as she squeezes my hand, lying here as if sinking in sand, slowly she lifts her eyes in question from the look that falls from my inner sanction.

“Athos..what are you saying? I don’t know what you mean.”

She slightly shakes her head,

“Sit with me.”

Slowly and weakly she brings our embraced love of hands above her desolate body, resting them there where vacancy lies and my forced smile only broadens her heart’s cries.

I interlace my fingers with hers giving reassurance as my glazed eyes travel down her limp and broken body. I swallows hard, simultaneously squeezing our fingers together.

“…You’ve lost our child…”

A single tear trails its lonely journey down my flesh to soak its misery in the dark forest of my shadowed bristled cheeks.

She closes her eyes, sheathing behind her shocking grief, when allowing her head to fall to the side, silence befalls her and she slides up the sheet, to shield what is left of my features my saddened gaze meet. Guilt engulfs her, leaving her fatigued, empty, never thinking this would happen to the life…of her

“I want to be alone… ”

No tears come, no tears fall, encasing this heartache where ever her soul takes it, or was it ever there at all

Locked out by you from sharing our grief, I know no where to go for mine. Nature’s strength not aiding me nor social convention supporting me I bury this despair within the ever melancholic cauldron of my dysfunctional emotional turmoil. Slowly slipping my fingers from yours, I rise with a heavy heart to leave you, as requested, with no answer but to seek my release and solace from the bottom of a glass.

Feel the Heat

athos angry warning

Dangerously drunk and full of frustration and anger I batter at her door and await stony faced for the door to pull open. Hammers again louder.

“I know you’re in there.”

There’s an inner anger rising the longer I wait and as I lean against against the door for support I rest my head on arm as my booze soaked breath encircles me.

She opens the door slowly with feline grace yet with lethal stealth, presenting a poised smile as she looks down upon me,

“Do come in”

She tilts her head down to where she meets my gaze. Fire and ice bring forth a frustrated sigh as she steps back slowly from my dark penetrating eyes. She maintains her grace from my hostile features.

“Athos… How much have you drank?”

She takes a few further steps back, disappointed by my few words of attack and discreetly shakes her head.

The waft of her perfume ignites memories for me hitting me hard, rekindling feelings that should have drowned in my alcoholic exorcism of her. My glaring eyes meet hers and pent up feelings bubble within threatening to erupt at any moment.

Dousing her with the flames from my eyes her fingertips procure at the necklace that rests between that of which I once loved. She sighs. Bound by the ties of my dark passion she raises her chin slightly once more in question.

“Athos, I asked you how much you drank? Now please answer me…”

She stares back into the my eyes  unwilling to stand down from me or my dictating tone.

With your STILL defiant and challenging words igniting the embers of my total self belief and self righteousness, suddenly from the primordial essence of male superiority etched in time immemorial I succumb to the urge to dominate and control you. Cupping your face with my hands splayed across your delicate cheeks, my mouth crushes down on your lips as I slam you hard against the wall. My mouth dominates yours as my masculinity pulsates through every vein in my body, totally overwhelming every ounce of your feminine defiance.

She is breathless against the wall with relentless need and the heavens above part to impale us both striking down at a thunderous speed. She arches into my threshold of desire, lips inflamed against mine, with her ultimate fire. Her fingers clutch hot and burning and the furnace of her heart is ignited with yearning. She advances into me wondrous , screaming her heat thrums then pools between her thighs wanton and pleasing. Tongues twist and entwine in this heat so divine.

In my drunken, ravenous state my mouth devours hers completely as our tongues wildly tango for control, while hands now reach to clasp hers, holding them imprisoned above her head in one steely vice like grip of mine. My eyes burn down fire as the intensity of my impassioned attack drives me on with unrestrained feral ferocity. My knees abruptly part her legs and I press my constrained tension into her. She is strung before me by the imprisonment of my ruthless constraints, an abstract of my pleasure as her hips urge me on enticing my lust. The swell of her passion hums in expectation, evoking my thrusts.

My anger is still white hot and rapacious and seeks that primeval release. So with brutish force I continue to thrust mercilessly within; permission assumed granted. My brandy soaked breath catches against her ear as I groan with each wild untamed push in this all consuming, relentless demonstration of my virility of potent power.

She is shocked at the impact of her own need to be dominated. Hips flare into me, only to be enslaved by the push and pull of the depth and warmth of her soul I crave. Sated and gasping she slides her legs down from my manly hips, trying desperately to catch her breath. She clutching down at her skirts

“Athos, not like this again..”

She struggles and pushes me away  from her as she fixes her hair.

“Move back from me. You’re too drunk”

She sluggishly adjusts her blouse and ties at the strings as I lean against the wall, breathless and shocked by my own behaviour and slowly I slump down to the floor.

“I’m sorry, so sorry!”

My remorseful eyes seek hers.

She gets to her feet and hurriedly rushes from me, pulling back at the front door and runs out into the street. Carelessly she looks straight ahead, catching one of her heels in the road, only to be hit from the side by a carriage travelling fast and carrying a full load. Her lights turns to darkness as her eyes sheath closed and she lays on the ground where her injured body fails  to move. Her essence softly trickles from her nose.

A Broken Man

Athos shares a bath

With a slowness of pace, welcomes the break from the anxieties of recent days. So with her hand in mine and a smile creeping across my face we take  in the sensual warmth of the steam filled room.

She swivels on her heels to face me, pressing against me, to meet my lips with hers and whispers playfully against them

” I have missed you…so much”

as she coils her arms around me

“And now…I want nothing more but to spoil you”

She softly nips at my bottom lip.

“Keep still for me…please”

There are smiles upon her lips as she lowers herself down my strapping form, eager fingertips pad slowly at my jacket, reaching to where my belt buckles and unclasps it, while eyes…they burn… completely up into mine. She grazes down on her lip as she tugs away at my leather belt, flinging it across the room,  inhaling deeply as she  frees …

“goodness me”

…the abundance of  flesh..she does not protest. Ceasing her workings she merely gazes at the length of my priming of glory, gifting this pleasure a gentle kiss, before skimming down the remainder of my breeches from around my manly hips, down my toned athletic thighs with nothing but a…sigh.

Breathing in deep the atmospheric sultry magic, I slip off my jacket to allow it to drop with a soft thud to the floor. The steam clings at my shirt as I pull it from my chest and in these snaking swirls of sweetened mists I stand magnificently naked for her eyes only.

Her eyes wander slowly over every inch of my blessed physique…so lovingly, before she rises up to stand before me, offering herself…to me. Fingers work at the strings of her blouse, pulling at them…slowly…teasingly, clasping at the sides of her blouse, pulling it slowly over her head to expose the swell of her breasts. And her nipples, they brace deliciously before my eyes, when fingertips push down onto her skirt that sensually glides down her glorious thighs allowing the fabric to pool around her feet. Her body all mine…with a smile she offers her passions heat.

My eyes slowly survey the the beauty of the form before me, lingering on those ripened peaks then down the softness of her flesh to where deepening breath betrays the sensual longings of my loins. Without touching her I move in to stand tantalisingly close, my breath against her neck setting nerve ends spinning in a frenzy of want.

A sultry smile blooms upon her lips as her flesh adorns… prickles… before bending to retrieve a container she  pours more hot water into the bath. Carefully checking the bath’s temperature with her fingers, she gestures for me to climb in. Her perfect offering yet coming with another smile.

“But please… I’d like you to shift to the front. I am going to wash you…”

I tilt my head as traces of a smile appear as I lower myself into the heated scented waters,gasping slightly as the heat seers through muscled loins.

Gently, she uses my muscular shoulder to slip in behind me. The heat of water encases around her smoothness, that very same smoothness that presses in against me from behind.

” Oh, it feels good, doesn’t it?”

Her shoulders relax as she breaths in the sweetness of our sensual surroundings, before reaching across me, her beacons of delight softly brushing against my flesh, while she retrieves a cloth to sponge at my taut form. She rests back into the bath as she lathers at the cloth, then gently grasps at my shoulders and slowly guides me back into her,

“Now just relax…”

She smiles against the cusp of ear, bringing the soapy creation to sponge to wash down onto my rippling chest.

I sink into the fleshy pillows against my back, thinking about that taunting smoothness pressing down lower. I let out a low mellow moan as her hand moves across my firm muscular chest, willing her hands to work lower.

She stretches her neck and meets the corner of my mouth as her hands glide down into the warmth and gently rotates with the cloth around and around my yearning power. She stretches her free arm to meet where she cleanses around my prime, carefully raising me….gently clasping  me to softly  massage beneath my stem, while stealing a kiss from the angle of my lips.

Straining my head to meet those lips, I close my eyes enjoying her sensual touch in this misty dream world of erotic lust. I slide hands along her silky legs as desire grows from slumbering want to stalwart desire.

This warmth, my touch…she aches for so much…hips round sinfully into me as pleasure awakens her inner core’s deepest craving. Her desire for me, her heart and soul has been carnally saving.

Feeling her want coincide with mine I  place my hands on the side of bath and lift my athletic body up. Trickles of scented water stream down my marbled thighs while I turn to face her, only to  sink back down again into cooling waters.With my eyes burning into hers, I deftly pull on those endless legs to wrap around me as I slide her up onto my lap, my mouth eagerly greeting her water softened peaks with the steamy breath I hold within.

As if stolen by a bird of prey, perched onto my lap as she throws her head back, her dampened tresses they lap down her spine,  while the swell of her peaks sublime fill my mouth with the flesh of her. Pushing against me her warmth embraces me, filling her complete…with this heat, while she cries out…lifting her eyes to the heavens to brace herself upon me, her inner sanctuary now given.

I moan manfully as her tightness pushes against me so deliciously. Placing my strong hands on the peachy roundness of her rear, I guide the slow deep rise and fall of carnal driving as my eyes now look, with embers fit to burst, directly into hers. The only sounds; that of rhythmic waters lapping with gasps of electric sparks that spit as our fires of love sizzle in unison.

The pressure within is no longer sin, but sensual bliss. Oh, how she must have missed this. Her flesh, it craves for our euphoric waves and she throws her arms around my neck, beseeching my deepest breaching into the abyss we mutually long for. She cries those cries of ecstasy, those cries that fill her, as her hips of hunger daringly pace against me!

Gritting my teeth, I wrap a handful of her hair that hangs in limp damp locks down her back, jerking her head back to devour the vulnerability of her throat, as pumped up lust soars through my veins and the climatic throes threaten to erupt.

Wearing my love upon her neck, I navigate relentlessly on her core’s pleasurable trek, as a thundering frisson from the inside out…darts…overwhelming her senses core as she surrenders to my storm’s taking and blistering form.

Groaning into her neck, I release her hair as my release frees me from my sublime torture. Wrapping my arms around her I envelope her within the protective care of my love.

She moulds into me with her legs wrapped around me tightly, sated and gasping for breath.

Athos takes a bath

Takes his aching body to his room for the night, where the tavern keeper has prepared a hot steaming bath for him.

With his heart pounding at the news that she is less than a day’s ride away, he throws his leather uniform jacket onto the bed, tugs at his filthy shirt, still warm with the sweat of two days riding as it clings to his salty torso. Pulls it over his head, letting it fall, limp to the floor.

Sits bare chested on the side of the bed as he heels off the first then second boot, kicking them across the floor.

Stands and with tired fingers slowly fumbles at each fastening…one,..two ..three…until the rough hewn breeches start to slip from his defined hips.Pushes the breeches down against his firm thighs they crush down to his feet. Stepping out, his firm muscular limbs ripple in the moonlit room.

Dragging his strong rugged body over to the bath he slowly sinks into the soothing waters. Submerging his head runs his fingers through his unruly hair and gasps for air on surfacing. Small trails of water trickle down through the protruding hairs on his very masculine chest, He leans back against the bath taking in the revitalising waters that eases his strapping form those marbled loins relax, and his rippling muscles cease to oscillate as the troubles of the the last few days are washed away.

He falls asleep.
