Low, just above the curve of his neck, where it met the shoulder.
Her lips were soft, parted. Just there. Deliberate. Marking.

Her thumbs grazed the sides of his ribs.
She moved her hands to his arms, her fingers curling lightly around the tops of his triceps.
She pressed her forehead briefly to the back of his shoulder.
The scent of him
His warmth
His skin

He didn’t speak.
Couldn’t.
His hands had stayed still around her waist, his palms trembling slightly now where they rested near the small of her back.
“You’re so quiet,” she murmured, her lips brushing the curve of his neck again. “Still holding something back?”
“No,” he said, voice hoarse. “I don’t think I can.”
“Good,” she whispered.
She pulled back slowly.
The break of contact sent a ripple of coolness over his skin.
The absence of her warmth was loud.
“Now sit up,” she said gently.
He did.
And for a moment, they just stared at each other.
Breathing.
Seeing.
