My Wild Beast

By ebonydreads


For but a single moment all that existed was him. The orange rays of the sunlight tinged his obsidian hair, highlighting smaller strands of silver intertwined with black that hung before his deep, soulful sapphire eyes. He wore a simple white shirt, which the rays of the sun revealed a tempting outline of hard muscle, leaving a ripple of desire in Saphir'naala's stomach.

Estebantaanadian entangled a lithe, sinewy arm around her. “Saphir'naala, my love, you are the most beautiful creature to which my eyes have bared witness. Only is it my wish to please your innermost needs, to offer you forever devotion, security and love.”

Lightly, he brought her to him. Past her lips came a sigh as she sank against him, and she reveled in the firm expanse of his chest. The scent of cinnamon intoxicated her, evoking a sense of freedom, peace, liberty. Sighing once more, she firmly wrapped her arms around Estebantaanadian's slim waist.

Into his shirt, she said, “My darling, such foolish eyes are yours! Beauty has not blessed my mind, body nor soul. Surely you are as blind as the sky is blue. Please, please my love, do not take hostage my ears to your lying tongue's whispered words!”

“Why do you doubt me so, dearest? My tongue speaks only what is truth, and my eyes, whilst they might be my own, also see truth. I dare not lie, for what reason would have to lie to one foremost in my heart?”

At Estebantaanadian's shirt's back,  Saphir'naala's grip tightened in chagrin. “Never has one so pure blessed my sordid eyes! Oh, how my mind is filled with your rich, lustrous hair, your tan perfection and scintillating eyes, nose, mouth. I dream of our union, something so magical that it could only exist in our wildest imaginings. Estebantaanadian, kiss me, my one and only love!!”

Suddenly, out of the wilderness flew twin arrows. Before lips could meet, the unmistakable sound of things piercing flesh resounded in the air.

Simultaneous thunks reverberated around the clearing, and, strangely, sounds of cheers and laughter echoed through the forest.
