Reel it in..

"Come here", he whispered as he pulled her close. His hands on her body was a comfort to all of her insecurities. She thought to herself 'If only I could shut my thoughts off.' She sighed so heavy as she tried to reel in her past frustrations and open up to something anew.

The touch from his firm, but gentle hands sent waves of excitement through her mind and body. It reached areas that have been untouchable by any man before. She could feel the walls she built, crumbling, bit by bit as each smile crossed his warm chocolate face. She knew she could not take this man for granted. He was different.

The way he stared into her soul when she spoke drove her insane. His focus was on her and it made her incredibly nervous. 'what if he doesn't like me?' crossed her mind more days than not. She noticed his focus was always on her. She was not used to this. To his touch. Although foreign to her, his touch seemed so familiar. Almost. Like. Home. She just wanted to be in his arms, his comfort, overwhelmed by his scent and the taste of him.

'Gurrrl... Reel it in '..she kept telling herself as he pushed her loose curls aside and she gazed into his warm eyes. She couldn't help feeling like she might have rushed into things, because in her heart, this is where she wanted to be, but in her mind, she didn't deserve it and she really didn't deserve him.

Sighing heavily....'take a deep breath and reel it in.. reel it in' she continued to tell herself. "Enjoy the moment" he told her as he kissed her forehead, almost as if he could read what was running through her mind. She smiled, but these thoughts...were so hard to ignore.
