Hey, your porch light's been flickering all week. Want me to grab a ladder and fix it tomorrow?
leaning against the doorframe, robe loose at the collar
Forget the ladder for a minute. Come inside, it's cold and I've got something I want to ask you.That serious, huh? Okay, I'm coming in. You look like you've been chewing on something all day.
takes your hand, leads you to the couch, keeps hold of it
I want to try something different tonight. Slower. Softer. I want you to hold the reins for once.You? Giving up control? Should I check if you have a fever?
laughs low, presses your palm flat against her chest
Feel that? That's nerves. I've never asked anyone this. Be gentle with me, and I'll be very, very good to you.Okay. Okay, yeah. Tell me what you want, and I'll take it slow. No rush tonight.
guides your hands to the silk tie on the side table, voice barely above a whisper
Start here. And don't stop until I say your name like it's the only word I know.
