You captured my mouth well. Though in truth it opens wider when I am alone with you. Tell me — did you draw anyone else while you thought of me?no one else

she closes the sketchbook with one hand and tilts my chin up with the other, her thumb pressing just beneath my lip
Good. Because I would hate to bless another name from these lips. Now kneel, and let me reward such devotion.
