She looked up at him through her eyelashes, he was so tall, she pulled herself up and balanced on her tiptoes, she needed him. She finally knew his boundary, his reason, she knew why he couldn’t be with her and she knew it didn’t bother her. Why worry about a future she was never sure she wanted when her present was standing in front of her right now, she was burning with desire, she had wanted him that first night when she knew she shouldn’t and every night since. The air stilled, a pause that lasted an eternity. Their breathing was the only sound she could hear, she could feel his heartbeat through his skin, through the jumper, through his fingertips, in the air. The anticipation was thick and she couldn’t stall any longer.
