S. Maxwell We'll always have Venice 
 
 
   
 
 
Violet waited in the night, waited for something impossible.  She needed to see him again, though he was somewhere miles away she couldn’t shake the visions of them together that night in Venice.  It had been a passionate, overwhelming sensation that she felt in her very core. They had met in a small café by the water.  She had gotten up to leave when the handsome tip she left for the over-accommodating waiter was blown off the table by a strong gust of wind, a fated gust of wind at that.  Little did she know he was watching her, in an almost compassionate sort of way, noticing the way her small rounded mouth delicately sipped her coffee.  And the way her deep brown hair faltered slightly every time the wind had caressed it, and her golden brown eyes shimmering in the bright sunshine.  He wasn’t aware that he wanted her yet, but he did, with every ounce of his being.  Therefore, the perfect opportunity arose when that wind decided to carry the mass of bills in his direction as she frantically started to chase after them.  
“I believe these belong to you.”  He said as she stopped just in time so that she did not completely knock him over. 
“Oh, um thank you,” She started, “I would have been in big trouble had that blown away, it’s all the cash I have left.”  She could feel something warm in her chest, a feeling that filled her up as she gazed into the eyes of this tall man with piercing eyes that almost matched the color of her own. 
“Let me buy you dinner then.” He blurted out, realizing that this was an absurd thing to say as he did not even know her name.  Yet the feeling in him was so strong that he had to see her, he had to make her his own, and he had finally realized that he wanted her.   
She did not know what to think of this, it was so sudden and impulsive, but something in her urged her to say yes to this man that she hardly knew.  His voice alone made her want to melt.  She had no choice but to succumb to his request.  “I’d love to.” She blurted out suddenly realizing the reality of this situation but she didn’t care, she was going to be adventurous on this trip, she had promised herself. And with that she finally added, “I’m Violet.” 
“Henry.” He answered with a bright even smile that was almost blinding because of his dark skin tone.  “I’ll meet you here at eight; I know the perfect place to go.” 
With that she was off, she needed to make herself presentable; she had never cared this much about a date before.  She had been on many dates with many men, most were men her friends had said would be perfect for her but alas, they all ended up being narcissistic, vulgar, compulsive liars, or even nymphomaniacs, none of which were called back for a second date.  She had never met a man that made her feel the way that Henry did.  She never got those butterflies in her stomach or the urge to kiss someone right then and there, but she felt that way today. This feeling was strong enough to envelop her whole body with warmth that was so comforting and inviting she had no choice but to say yes.   
Later than evening after she had donned a simple yet elegant purple dress that showed her figure nicely, a tasteful yet deep neckline which was complimented nicely with the small tie at her waist that eventually lead to a leg revealing, flowing skirt.  When she arrived at the café he was there waiting for her, in a simple button down white shirt and black pants.  A few buttons at the top remained unbuttoned which made her feel an even stronger attraction to him as she could see the top of his chest, muscular and tanned.  “You look absolutely lovely.” He said in that sultry voice that made her want him even more so.  
“Thank you.” She replied trying not to blush, no one had ever said she was lovely before.  As the neared a small bistro, which had an incredible scent wafting through the air, he ever so gently grabbed her hand and urged her inside. This made her feel strangely safe with him, she realized that she trusted him and she truly liked him.   
Dinner was phenomenal, as she knew it would be.  They talked the whole time about everything that came to mind, they both loved to read, and they both were on extended vacation here.  He had come to escape from a failed relationship three years in the making, and she was here looking for adventure in her otherwise dull life.  They managed to stay at the restaurant until closing, just talking.  When they were gently escorted out due to closing, they talked even more while taking a walk along the water.  “This was amazing,” She exclaimed, “I don’t want this to ever end, I feel like I’ve known you my whole life though I just met you this morning.”  
He smiled at the thought of this, “This night doesn’t have to end you know,” he replied gesturing upward, “that’s my room, if you’d like we could go.”  He felt a burning need for her to say yes, he wanted her to stay with him.  This was all flooded with happiness when she eagerly but cautiously agreed. 
Henry’s apartment was just as she’d imagined, it was crowded with books and paintings, but somehow seemed to look very neat and welcoming.  “Exactly how long had you been here?” she questioned looking around to find she knew almost all the authors in his bookshelf.  
“About a year,” he replied looking straight into her eyes, “it was too beautiful to leave.”  She felt a twinge of desire as she stepped closer to him, wanting so badly for him to kiss her.  Henry stepped closer to her too feeling her urgency and excitement.  Taking her face in his hand, he gently pressed his lips against hers, moving to the rhythm of her mouth.  He could feel her warm breath and it sent an electric pulse all the way through his body.  She impulsively pushed her tongue between his lips, tasting him, feeling him.  She then proceeded to suck his lower lip, moving to his neck as he let out a soft deep moan in her ear.  She ran her tongue along his neck and down to his collar bone, feeling an erection growing against her thigh.  This turned her on, she wanted him so badly.  He swiftly moved her head to the side so he could show her how good she made him feel by lightly running his tongue all the way down her neck to her upper breast.  She gave a slight whimper pushing her chest up to his mouth, wanting him to lick more of her.  Acknowledging this he slipped the straps of her dress down revealing her elegant bra which he removed very efficiently.  Finally he exposed her breasts, beautifully full and plump waiting to be tasted.  He gently flicked his tongue over her nipple, making it firm, she gasped when he started sucking on it, feeling pleasure she had never felt before.  She pushed her chest even more so up to his mouth urging him to lick and suck wherever he wanted.  He could feel himself getting an extremely intense erection that seemed to be too big for his pants, needing her to touch him.  His desire grew intense and almost uncontrollable as he lay her down on the bed removing her dress completely.  Her panties were black and lacy and he had to fight the insatiable urge to rip them off with his teeth.  He decided to pull them off with his hands as she leaned up to pull off his shirt exposing his strong chest and his chiseled abdomen.  He softly pushed her back and kissed her thighs, spreading her legs as he did this, seeing how beautiful she looked, so pink and moist.  Spreading her with his fingers he applied his tongue to her clit as she cried out in pleasure.  He was flicking it fast and her back was arching for more as if begging him to keep going.  He wanted to feel her, his fingers slowly penetrated her, feeling her wet warm cunt.  He moved them in and out in rhythm as her moans became louder.  Finally she couldn’t take it anymore, Violet took his face in her hands. 
“Make love to me.” She begged, “I want you.”  He smiled and let her undo his pants feeling her soft hands on the outside of his underwear.  She was stoking him, feeling how hard he was and how he was throbbing with desire.  He lost all control, he urgently stepped out of his boxers and lay on top of her, feeling how wet she was against his cock.  She moaned in his ear as he moved against her, stimulating her clit with his shaft.  “I want you inside me.” She whispered feeling the anticipation growing stronger and stronger.  He pushed himself inside her groaning deeply as she gasped in pleasure, feeling his entire length inside of her.  He moved his hips slowly as she wrapped her legs around him, making him go deeper inside.  She could feel him, all the friction of his cock felt so good against her.  He was moving faster now, beads of sweat rolled off of his chest as he thrust into her.  She was almost screaming the pleasure was so intense.  “Faster,” she pleaded, “harder.”  He moaned loudly when he felt an orgasm rising in his cock.  She felt it too, she wanted to come with him, she clenched tight as they finally came together moaning in each other’s ears.   
He rolled off of her, exhausted but overwhelmed with happiness. They cuddled close together the rest of the night in a deep sleep that only the previous activities could bestow.  But in the morning he woke up to find her gone. A note was left saying that she had a plane to catch and that she knew she would seem him again.  Little did he know this very note pained her as she walked out that door.  Her feelings for him were strong, she knew that now.  But she had to go back to her life and her job although every step was filled with regret. 
And now she sat alone on the terrace of her apartment in Chicago, remembering that amazing night she had not too long ago.  She wanted him to come for her but knew he never would.  Her cheeks were hot with tears as they sometimes were on nights like this, she needed him.  An especially large teardrop rolled down her face, but was stopped right before it hit the corner of her mouth.  Someone’s finger had caught it just in time.  Feeling excitement and fear she turned around to find Henry, her Henry whom she had longed for the past months.  He was there kissing her and holding her. 
“I love you.” He said  
“I love you too.” She replied confidently knowing that everything was finally the way it should be.
