Embrace

She waited
Surrounded by doubt
Standing alone in darkness.

He watched her restlessness
Anticipating the moment
Like prey.

She shivered
Cool fingers glide
The first electric touch.

He moved in slowly
Sensing her struggle
The desire.

She begged
In his control
It was never enough.

He whispered her name
Power and tenderness
Wordless demands.

She surrendered
Body, heart, soul
Embracing love in shadow.
