Carmen nodded and wrapped her arms around Shane’s neck. Shane placed her hands around Carmen’s waist. They wished it could last forever. Carmen noticed their rings.

Carmen: I like what you did with our rings.

Shane: Thanks. This way I have you right next to my heart always.

Carmen pulled out the key to show Shane.

Carmen: Me too.

This has always kept me company too. Shane leaned her forehead on Carmen. She could feel how hot Shane was.

Carmen: Are you having a fever?

Shane: No. It’s just you.

Shane kissed Carmen to stop her from inquiring anything else. Carmen missed these lips that crashed upon hers. She craned her neck up pulling Shane closer to her to deepen their kiss. Shane backed her up towards their bedroom as their kiss became more passionate. Carmen felt the back of her legs hit the bed. Shane laid her down not breaking the kiss. She lifted Carmen’s shirt over her head. Her eyes savored the chocolate skin. Shane was so soft under Carmen’s hands. She stripped Shane of her shirt too. They helped each other undress under the bed covers. Their lips on top of each others fighting to keep dominance over the other. Both their hands slipped down between each other’s legs and their fingers slipped inside. Carmen groaned feeling Shane start rubbing her. Carmen returned the favor with great fervor. Today, Carmen had more stamina and energy than Shane. Shane was teasing her slowly and Carmen slowed down too pushing in and out. Making circles. Carmen’s hips were lifted off of the mattress. She wanted to feel more of Shane. Their pace began to increase as they neared their climax.

Carmen: Shane… Fuck…

Shane didn’t even have the energy to speak. She moaned as Carmen hit her pleasurable spots. Their muscles tightened around each others hands as they came at the same time. Shivering in the arms of the other. Their chest heaved up and down. Shane collapsed next to Carmen.

Carmen: I miss that.

Shane: I do too.

Shane kissed Carmen on the chin, then the lips, nose, eyes, and forehead.

Shane: Tired?

Carmen nodded.

Shane: Go to sleep.

Even though Shane was tired, she wasn’t done with the things she needed to do. She waited for Carmen to be asleep for sure before slipping out of bed and putting on her clothes. She sat in the dimly lit kitchen writing.
