Sweet Spot
Everything inside me goes tight and aching.
A small whimper escapes me. His hand finds my waist and grips hard, steadying me.
"Dolly," he says, like a prayer and a curse. His voice has dropped an octave.
"Don't stop."
He doesn't. He moves against me again, slower, and I tilt my head to give him room, my hand finding the front of his shirt and holding on. The heat under my skin rolls up my spine and pools low. I smell honey and spice on myself, thick enough to taste, and beneath it smoke and cedar and something that is entirely Noah. They twist together into something new. Something that is me and him.
