MERIDIANA

The evening breeze brushed over the skin I was baring.

In front of his intense eyes, I began loosening the loose knots of my dress, feeling it slide down my body and bunch at my feet.

I wore nothing underneath and stood naked before him, resisting the urge to cover myself, but I craved this.

I didn’t have to see him to know he desired me; his breathing quickened as if I’d truly taken his breath away.

He swallowed and wet his lips. He’d gone so still that even the water didn’t ripple.
