EXCERPT:
The next morning sunlight
peeked through the opened window. I slightly tossed back my hair away from my
face, staring toward the early sunrise. I lay there for a while, closing my
eyes and listening to the sound of the ocean waves crashing into the shore.
I decided to start the day
with a hot shower. While waiting for the water to heat up, I turned on the
radio, hoping that it would fill the sound of the empty room in the background,
I could hear Brad Paisley singing “Wrapped Around”
It felt so good to have hot
water flowing over my body. I stood in the shower in a daze. In no time at all,
I remembered the first time Sam ever saw me naked.
We had been dating for two
years, and it was cool, crisp night. We sat in the back oh his truck, watching
the northern lights and listening to the radio. That was the first time in my
life I felt safe.
I had never had anybody look
at me like the way Sam did, his warm fingers softly touched the side of my
face, staring into my eyes as if trying to gather my every thought. His lips were silky soft with a slight smell
of peppermint gum. His kisses were always light. His fingers ran down my neck, slightly
pulling my hair toward the center of my back.
With his trembling hands, he undid the clasp of my bra ever so lightly.
Feeling cool air on my back gave me a slight shiver. Sam looked at me with his
steady eyes, “Beautiful.” he whispered.
It was so powerful having our
naked bodies touch with his fingers trailing over my naked breast. I gasped to catch my breath, realizing that I
was back in the shower. I grabbed the shower curtain for dear life. I NEEDED
OUT!!!
