The warmth of his hands leaving my face to sink into my hair, grasp my waist, press me harder against the creaking shelves. The smell of his skin, of ink, of sweat. The panting sound of our mingled breath.
I am drowning. And a part of me… a dark, shameful, abandoned part… no longer wants to resurface.
