Most of the time you keep your eyes open when you kiss. It’s become a kind of game for me, sneaking a peak every now and again, trying to catch you out and snatch a glimpse of you with your eyes closed, fully resigned to and lost in the passion of the moment. Rarely, I succeed.
I always have control at the beginning. Your kisses are sweet and gentle, interspersed with occasional little nips. You pull away from me and always, always, my lips follow after yours, helpless, as if attached by magnets or some kind of invisible thread. Your hand clasps itself around mine and I’m always amazed by how soft your skin is. It’s only your hand I’m touching but as my imagination takes wing it’s the rest of your body as well, the parts I haven’t seen, your skin the colour of warmth. Control. Breathe.
At some point your hand always finds my face, brushes along my jawline and tickles my neck just behind my earlobe. I am sold. You pull my lower lip into your mouth and tease it with your tongue. Control. Control. Control. Your lips and your tongue on mine and my hand in your hair and your hand on my chin or on my jawbone, firm but gentle, pulling me into you.
I always lose control around about the point that you moan. The fact that I can elicit that response always entertains me. But then at least one of us remembers what we’re doing, what we’re not doing. Control.
Everything is heat. And breath. There is never enough air and lungs are never big enough.
Save me from myself, Lord.
Anonymous asked: What's the most rewarding part of teaching? :)
Wow, an anonymous question that isn’t spam! :P I think the official ‘good teacher’ answer is seeing my students finally ‘get’ something that they’ve previously found difficult to understand.
In reality a large part of it is also just down to enjoying spending time working with people, with teenagers in particular, and just the fantastic things that my students say sometimes - the opinions they have and the way they view the world. They always make me question my own opinions and viewpoints and I think that’s valuable :)
