It was late in the evening when the guests left. Rose had disappeared after dinner and after seeing off the guests Arthur found her in bed with Rosie wrapped in her embrace.
They had fallen asleep reading her storybook. Pulling the covers over them he left the room after.
His work for the day had piled up since did not go to the office. He was so busy with his work that he didn't see Rose come in.
She sat on the couch facing him and started as he did his work. Her heartfelt at peace seeing him even without any more of him.
A frown appeared on his face and without realizing it she frowned too.
She got up and slowly moved to his side, he was stunned to see her there but then her gentle fingers caressed the space between his eyebrows.
His frown disappeared. She smiled.
"When did you get in?" he asked watching her every expression.
She moved realised what she had done, " I will go, you were so bush I decided to watch you "
Taking her seat again, Arthur stared at her, Rose stared back she could feel something burn in her heart causing her to feel suffocated.
He didn't blink or say anything but just stared.
Seconds then minutes, silence filled the room. Rose couldn't take it anymore she was suffocating.
She jumped out of her seat and ran out trying to breathe. It was like an asthma attack only that it's wasn't her lungs but her heart suffocating.
Arthur saw her run out making him realise what he had been doing. He got up running after her.
"Am sorry for...." he paused seeing her lean on the wall for support.
He grabbed her asking what had happened.
"I...ca..nt be. ath...' she cried.
He held her face and told her to follow his lead. Slowly he breathed in and out and she did.
After a few times, she was breathing normally.
" What happened?" he asked.
She shook her head, " I was staring at you when I felt something here then the next then I was struggling to breath " she had moved his hand from her face to her chest.
He could feel the warmth from her breast then her fast heartbeat. She placed hers on his.
"Why did it stop hurting after you touched it " she smiled. Her pale face brightened up.
She moved closer to his face her forehead butting his. He was silent but his eyes wherein her.
She could feel his breath quicken, her other free hand moved to his face tracing his nose then to his lips. She was fascinated, " It's like my hands, fingers know every part of you but my mind doesn't have any memory of it.
He closed his eyes letting her trace his face. Her fingers lingered at his lips.
Rose closed her eyes bringing her lips to his.
It was so gentle and soft he nearly could not believe she has kissed him. But she didn't stop and did it again and this time he pulled her closer kissing her back.
Her lips were soft, his tongue opened her mouth, tasting the familiar taste he had yarned for years. His hunger grew with each kiss drowning them both in each other's embrace.
He stopped pulling back, Rose moaned as his lips left hers. He got up, meeting his eyes with dismay she wondered why he had stopped something she was enjoying.
Bending he carried her off the floor, "I don't think we should do this here " he said moving back to the study.
She giggled realising he was right. After closing the door he returned to where he had placed her.
Still hungry for his lips, Rose jumped onto him. Her lips met his again this time with a buying desire.
Arthur's hands were under her dress now pulling it off her braless breast fell out exposing themselves to his hungry eyes.
He kissed each with love and devotion and in return got her hungry moans for more.
She could feel him move lower, he bent down opening her hips her already wet sex had stained her undergarment with fluids.
He was soon on top of her finally free of his clothes too, opening her legs wider Arther let himself into her. His longing for Rose's body was finally poured into her with every movement they made.
Her moans and cry of his name made his passion and lust for her go on for hours. It was dawn when their exhausted bodies lay next to each other. He held her so close to him he could hear her heartbeat.
He placed a kiss on her skin and closed his eyes drowning to sleep with the smell of their lovemaking surrounding them.
He smiled," I love you Butterfly "
"I love you too " she murmured back.
