Her elbows dipping slightly
As if she were resisting the full surrender
Only to give in fully a breath later.
She whispered finally, her voice like mist, “This…”
A pause. Her cheek brushed his.
“…feels like home.”
Abhi's arms tightened around her waist, not possessive, protective.
His breath came in long, heavy pulls now, and for a moment, he didn’t trust it to hold.
“I was starting to think we lost this,” he said, voice thick with something too full to name.
“We almost did,” she whispered back.
Her head lifted, just enough that her nose brushed his.
Her eyes shimmered above him, not wet, but glazed with something fragile. Something real.
She studied him for one long second.
Then her hand lifted to cup his jaw
Thumb smoothing across the stubble there
Moving toward the corner of his lips.
Abhi turned
Just slightly, enough that his mouth found her thumb.
He kissed it, slow and silent, a gesture deeper than it looked.
She sighed. It landed on his collarbone.
Then she moved down, easing her full weight into him.
