Predator/Prey

oh
the way you
tease
me
the way you trace
intimacies
over my bare heart
and fingers
over bare skin
lightly tickling me
making me gasp
and moan
and wriggle under your
flirtatious smile...

it's too much, i say
i cannot bear it-

but you grip my chin
and bring me close
for a kiss
that melts away my sense
i know i shouldn't
know i can't, we can't
it'll never be... but oh
when you grab my hips
and shove me against your car
to capture my mouth with yours
i cannot speak
i cannot think
i just do, and press my body
back into yours

this isn't what you wanted
i thought
but you press my hand against
your pants
and they say otherwise
i want you, i cry inside myself
i want you NOW- but you
are in control, and can just as easily
work me up as send me on my way

i go to my door
still breathing a bit heavily
smiling and shivering
licking my lips
in delicious memory...

later, you'll tell me
you wanted to throw down
your coat, and your inhibitions
force me to the driveway
rip off my panties
and fuck me from behind
and i'll laugh
and shake my fist
and ask you why you didn't

but the chase is never fun
if you catch the quarry too easily
we do this to each other
to make the inevitable capture
all the sweeter....

frankly
i couldn't imagine it
any other way.
