He sinks into his seat. "You haven't answered my question. Why is it you're here tonight?"
"What happened with your parents?"
"They made up. Lived happily ever after, I guess."
"You never told your dad?"
He shakes his head. "She was right. It would have hurt him. He still loves her more than anything. Why take that away?"
"It's a lie."
"Is it a lie if you believe it?"
"That's kind of deep."
He chuckles. "I guess it is."
"So… ever since that, intimacy issues?"
"You're making light of my trauma?"
"No… well, I'm not trying to. I'm sorry if it feels like that."
"I know."
"You… uh… I'd never do that."
"I know."
"If you know—"
"I know, but I don't feel it. I can't."
"I don't trust guys either. Not after the way Alex left things. But I… God, I don't know how it happened, but I do trust you. I don't think you'd abandon me again." I drag my fingers up his thigh.
His eyelids press together.
His lips part with a sigh.
He wants me.
But he holds strong. "Your turn."
"We could not talk." I press my palm against his stomach. Soft skin. Hard muscles. He's still warm and wet from the shower.
His hands go to my hips.
He pulls me into his lap so I'm straddling him.
We're nearly eye to eye like this. I'm just barely looking down at him.
And we're so close.
"Dean…" My fingers curl into his hair. "Please." My eyelids press together. "Please."
"Your turn."
He wants to hear this.
