A calm hush settles once they find the center of the bed. They align without hurry, letting patience lead the pace. Heat builds by degrees, gathering in the folds of the sheets. The bed remembers their weight and keeps the beat steady. The air tastes softer, and so do their smiles.
A smile invites a kiss; the bed answers with a gentle give. A slow kiss lands first; the next one answers with confidence. The headboard taps a soft beat and forgets to count. They reach the edge together and hold there, smiling. They keep the last inch of closeness on purpose.
A smile invites a kiss; the bed answers with a gentle give. They trade soft nods that say keep going. A shared cadence grows certain, simple and true. The frame hums once beneath them and falls still. Peace settles over the bed and decides to stay.
