It’s just me invading her space.

Quietly.

Gently.

Carefully.

She’s a precious field of daisies and I’m a wild and raging fire that has to tiptoe past her blooms. I can’t let myself go. Can’t let myself burn. Or I’ll destroy everything.

But the wisp of smoke can touch her.

And so I let it.

Get used to it.

To her.

To the flavor of her mouth.

Of her lipstick.

Of her breath hitting so close to my face that I breathe her in.

Then I lean away.

She follows me, her pert nose inching forward like a puppy sniffing out a bone.

Her eyes closed.

Her hand grappling for my shoulder.

Insistent despite my retreat.

Insatiable.

“Like that?” I whisper.

My own voice surprises me.

I’ve never heard a word escape from my mouth so raw.

Kaelyn shakes her head.

I smirk. “No?”

“Too tame.”

I shrug. “I proved the point.”

“Barely.”

I arch an eyebrow.

Her eyes flutter open. Mischief dances through her gaze.

Mischief and a darker emotion.

Desire?
