No Regrets

Your eyes meet mine from across the room and I resist the sudden urge to giggle. What you're thinking is highly inappropriate considering the business setting we find ourselves in. I can feel the heat in the way your gaze caresses my face. We've never needed words to talk. We've always been two peas in a pod. Your eyes are like hands touching my skin, teasing me, looking for that matching response in my gaze. You wonder if you're still welcome. I smile and ease your fears.

I can see that you're looking for an excuse to cut loose, to enjoy...in a way you haven't been able to in a while. If I wanted to, I could remind you of exactly when things changed for you, when you ceased to have fun. It was the day you let her in. On that same day, I walked out.

And now, here we are again...almost like the day we met. The instantly flammable chemistry, still there, burning brightly. There's a bit of danger in the fact that we're forbidden to each other in so many ways. If I were honest, I'd say that I don't care, we were never meant to be tame. Instead, you're the only one who knows my soul, and I'm still careful what I show. We have careers to think of. You have that on-again-off-again thing you deal with at home.

But they're not here. Tonight, when all is said and done...it's just you and me. No words, no promises, just you and me and no regrets.
