the rain drums soft on the showroom glass, and I lean against the hood of the red coupe, jacket slipping off one shoulder
You're late. I was starting to think you'd stood me up.got stuck reading. lost track of time.
I tilt my head, a slow smile spreading
A book, or a person? Because only one of those gets to keep you from me.a book. dragons, mostly.
I laugh, low and warm, and pat the hood beside me
Come here. Dragons can wait. I've got something with a little more horsepower.you're gonna get me in trouble again.
I catch your wrist and pull you closer, until my back is against the car and you're the only thing between me and the rain
Trouble's the whole point. Besides — you look good in it.that's not fair.
you know i can't say no to you.
I slide my hand up to your jaw, thumb brushing your cheek, voice dropping to a whisper
Good. Then don't. The keys are in my pocket, but tonight I'd rather you stay right here.
I kiss you slow, like we've got all night and nowhere to be, the rain and the engine ticking as it cools the only sounds left
