INTIMACY (Please...stop) Writer's P O V Rosanna shook and watched CB. She doesn't know what do anymore. She watched Charlie draw closer to her. "Cha..Charlie," she stuttered his name but didn't no what else to say. He got hold of her dark long hair and sniffed the scent. She stayed cuddled up and continued watching him as he pulled closer and closer. Then his lips met her skin, he kissed and sucked on her skin like he has been denied of it for long.

I throw back and he gives another stroke to my cheek– lighter than the previous. "Move closer. Wrap your arms around me and let me do the same to you. Give me some of your warmth, Carson. " He explains and I swallow down my throat. He needs it– I was able to tell the moment Emerson Ford climbed into my bed with his soft gaze and the lowered voice. "That's too much intimacy. " I tell Emerson and he nods. "I know. " "There shouldn't be too much intimacy between us. " "I know that too. " "I hate intimacy with you. "

“Then what is it?” He sighed. He put his hand right out of his hair. “For me, intimacy extends out beyond just the bedroom. Sex is not the only component.” It is all about something so much deeper. Seeing each other's souls, faith, and understanding each other for real are what it's about. Sarah, I just do not want for me to sleep with you.

Was it even worth asking? I mean, wasn’t it supposed to be normal?

I murmured. “No,” he said immediately. “Just… unfamiliar.” I smiled. “You’ll survive.” He let out a quiet laugh, the sound vibrating through me. The city outside blurred as the night deepened. “You know,” I said, eyes half-closed, “for a long time, I thought intimacy had to be loud. Dramatic. All-consuming.” “And now?” he asked. “And now,” I said, “this feels… deeper.” He tilted his head, resting it lightly against mine. “I agree.”

Not here. Their shared silence carried an understanding of desire acknowledged but controlled, of love that wasn’t defined by physicality alone. This, too, was intimacy…choosing care over impulse, choosing the moment over themselves.

"Cassian, we literally shared magic today. We merged souls to resist author powers. Sharing a bed is significantly less intimate than that." Cassian laughed despite himself. "Valid point." He settled onto the bed-stiff at first, clearly unused to casual intimacy. Adrian rolled onto his side to face him. "You're allowed to relax, you know." "I'm not good at this." "At what?" "Closeness without purpose. Intimacy without transaction." Cassian stared at the ceiling. "For centuries, any closeness I experienced was manipulation. Someone wanting something from me or using me." "I'm not using you."

He said, “And I’m alright now. In fact, you’d be doing me a favor by letting me make love to you.” Emma’s cheeks turned into a rosy shade of red. Make love. He didn’t want to have sex. He wanted to make love to her. Although physically they meant the same thing, she knew how different they were on an emotional level.
