Eyes of the Desert

“Sharif?” Kaylean asked carefully catching his wandering thoughts. Quickly he looked down at her.

“Uhm?”

“ What’s wrong?”

“Nothing love. Just some wandering thoughts. By the way have I told you I love you today?”  He asked as he gazed down at her cherubic face.

“No, but then you don’t have too. I already know that you love me. Just like I love you.”

Sharif smiling leaned towards her to gently capture her lips once more. Kaylean ‘s lips were slightly parted as they melted together. Seizing the moment for what it was worth, he let his tongue venture pat her soft supple lips to explore the sweetness beyond.

Kaylean placed her hands round his neck to hold on. Lightly she let her hands play with his black hair that rested on his collar. She was floating on air as she deepened his kiss. Her senses were filled with her fragrant saint of musk. Sharif relished the feel of Kaylean in his arms. Her taste was soft and sweet. His thoughts were consumed by hers. He loved her beyond reasoning. They had been together for three years. During that time he found that he wanted her more and more.

Now it was time! But what would his parents say? What could they do. Nothing that I know about. They seldom  communicated with me. I doubt if my getting married would make a wave in their lives. He reasoned as he mouth moved over Kaylean’s hungrily. Slowly he let up until his lips were barely touching her. Slowly Kaylean opened her eyes to gaze into his dark ebony ones.  “Oh Kay, I love yo so much. “He whispered as his breath brushed over her tender swollen lips.

“And I love you Sharif.” She replied tenderly. Sharif sat back to study her fresh youthful face  “Kaylean, we have been together for over three years.”She was about to speak when Sharif placed his finger over her lisp to silence her reply. “Please let me finish.”He requested gently. “As each day passes I find myself wanting you more and more. You are constantly in my thoughts. I can’t go on like this any longer. Kaylean will you marry me please?” He asked sincerely as his finger lightly caresses her cheek.

Kaylean was dumb founded at his request. She had  figured that they would wait until after college to get married. He never imagined that Sharif felt this way about her.

“Oh Sharif. I...I’m dumbstruck. I...I” She swallowed quickly. “Oh yes! Yes I’ll be happy to be your wife.” She decided then gathered him in her arms. Joyfully she laid her hand on his solid chest as he held her up against him.
