Ignite me (A collection of Short Stories)
It's loud, messy, my head thrown back, his groan vibrating against my throat as he pulses inside me.
But it’s not just the sex. After we cool down, all cuddled and quiet, he actually talks. He talks about the weight of his father's expectations, how his whole life’s been planned out for him. I tell him about my mom, how the shop still catches her perfume on rainy days, how grief sneaks up mid-arrangement and I have to hide in the cooler so no one sees me cry. He wipes my tears with his thumb and kisses my eyelids so soft it hurts in the best way, and those quiet parts make the next round feel like more than bodies—like our souls are in on it too.
