Chapter Sixty-Four

After their mind blowing lovemaking, Ziza lay in Rafiq’s arms with her ear pressed to his chest. Boneless but blissfully satiated, she traced small aimless circles on his arm and count back on the previous minutes till she was drunk on the sweetness of the memories. Listening to his wild heartbeat made her smile as it reminded her of what they’d just done together there. Only the stars and the nature that surrounded them bore witness to their precious experience.

They both lay there, sprawled across the blankets with one draped casually across their hips, allowing their heated flesh to cool down in the cool desert night. Ziza never wanted this moment to end, but she knew that reality had to set in some time and she feared it could be sooner rather than later.
