bare [h.s.]

Love

I watch him intently as he moves so
slowly, smoothly, and gently, as if
I'm glass below his weight
and he's terrified that I will shatter.

He furrows his brows,
eyes shut tightly as beads of sweat form like dots across his head.
I reach up to carefully tuck loose strands of dark curls behind his ear.

"Look at me," I whisper, resting my
hand against his flushed cheek.
His dark jade eyes flutter open as
he locks eyes with mine.
My thumb swirls soft circles around
his rosy skin and he sweetly smiles.
He moves with a steady pattern
above me, and I'm mesmerized by
every beautiful aspect that is Harry.

"Sawyer," he breathes out harshly,
resting his forehead against mine,
never breaking eye contact.
I plant kisses on his forehead as he
becomes relaxed against me.

We let out small laughs in unison,
and he lays next to me, propping
himself up with an elbow.

"You're beautiful," he says,
wrapping an arm around my waist
to pull me into his chest.

I breathe deeply, laying my head
against his chest to listen to the
steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
He strokes my hair softly, then trails his index finger down my back.
Chills shoot up my spine as he
traces invisible letters across my skin.
I focus on his motion, and realize
he's spelling out his name.

"There," he smiles down at me,
"Now you'll always know."

I look up at him, "Know what?"

He brings his bottom lip between
his teeth, studying my face closely.
His thumb traces across my lips,
"I'm yours."

And I cry on his bare chest,
nuzzling my face against his skin.
He holds me tighter than ever,
gently rubbing my naked shoulders
as I sob in his arms.

Being with Harry didn't hurt.
There was no fear as he held me.
Being with Harry was pure happiness.
There was only love.
