She watched him sleep
for awhile longer.

That is until Marianna
reached out her hand
and
caressed his cheek.

With the soft touch,
he stirred and opened his eyes,
causing her to realize
what she was doing.

She felt the warmth on her cheeks
spreading to her ears
as she quickly
pulled away her hand.

His eyes met hers.

They glowed beautifully under
the light of the moon.

Provoking her to stare
into his eyes.

"Marianna...

What are you doing up so late?"

"I... I..."

She couldn't find
the right words to say.

For those grey orbs of his
were a breathtaking sight,
seeming to be dragging her in.

"I just..."

She leaned closer
to his face.

"You just... what?"

He whispered.

Marianna wasn't quite sure
what she was doing,

but

what she saw in his eyes
meant only one
thing;

He lust for her
as much as she lust for him.

And seeing that he wasn't
moving back.

Marianna got closer.

Closer.

Closer.

And closer.

Until her lips met with his own.
