Birds were chirping outside as the morning sun was sneaking its rays of light through the closed curtains, dimly illuminating the room.
Siena knew that she was expected at the theatre for rehearsals soon – but there was still time. Only a small moment of time, perhaps, but she would cherish every second of it; would relish all of its beauty and sweetness.
Soft fingers were drawing circles around her hip as she felt the touch of tender lips brushing across her jawline, whispering words of affection and endearment.
Siena closed her eyes as she let her arm wander around Kate’s body, pulling her closer – to feel her warmth; her comfort; her love. To lose herself in a world of peace, where no troubles ever intruded their bliss.
Then, she felt Kate pull away and immediately, Siena’s eyes flung open again.
There was a sweet smile on Kate’s face as her dark eyes were observing her with tenderness. When she sat up, a strand of hair fell into her face. Siena was watching her quietly as Kate brushed the strand back behind her ear – mesmerized by her beauty and grace. Her heart was wrapped in rapture as she was unable to comprehend how she deserved to wake up to such joy every single morning.
But that joy was soon disrupted, as Kate told her in a quiet voice that she needed to leave. Siena immediately reminded her that there was still time, but Kate simply replied that she had an appointment to attend at noon. She stood up then and Siena reluctantly let her leave her embrace with a sigh.
She watched her silently as Kate was walking over to the window. When she opened the curtains, the morning sun dipped Kate’s soft skin in a warm light, framing her body as streaks of her long waves of hair almost appeared golden. Siena wished someone would capture this image – to paint a picture of her as she stood there, the beautiful shape of her bare body glistening in the sunlight.
Kate then remarked what a beautiful day it was, turning back around as she gave Siena a soft smile – and Siena knew that she could not let her leave; not yet.
Of course, she would see her again tonight, but the waiting always felt like agony. The secrecy of their affair did not allow them much time together. And as sweet as their clandestine moments together were, they were also short and fleeting. Siena longed to see her every minute of the day – to talk to her; to hear her laugh; to feel her soft skin and gentle hands; to kiss her as they forgot about time entirely.
She started another attempt at convincing Kate to stay, but Kate merely replied with a small smile, reminding her again that she had no time as she pulled over a dressing gown.
Kate was a dutiful woman. And while Siena admired that, it also presented the danger that Kate would purposely drown herself within her responsibilities. Siena had noticed that quite early on – and she had also noticed that Kate longed for more; that she needed encouragement to indulge in her own desires; that she needed someone to save her whenever she was drowning herself again.
Siena then threw the blanket off her body and stood up, walking towards Kate – but before she could say a word, Kate immediately reminded her yet again that she could not stay and that there was no point in trying to convince her otherwise.
Siena merely replied with a cheeky smile. Then, she raised her hand and let her fingers softly brush across Kate’s cheek as she stood on her tiptoes, leaning into her ear.
“Stay,” she whispered in a husky tone.
It was only a single word, nothing more. Yet as Siena pulled back, Kate’s expression had changed – her dark eyes now glistening with desire as she stared at her silently with parted lips. Then, barely noticeable, Kate nodded.
Siena smiled and before Kate could change her mind again, she pushed her hand into her hair, pulling her into an eager kiss. Kate wrapped her arms around her body and Siena could hear her chuckle as they both fell back onto the bed, forgetting about time.
