While his hands wandered and searched, hers stayed steady. It was as if she could keep him safe and next to her if she didn't move. She barely breathed except when the pain clenched her chest and the urge to kiss him took over. She had missed him, far more than she had allowed herself to admit. She had missed him, missed him, missed him.
"You're such a girl," she teased, kissing him slowly before tracing his lip with her tongue. She pulled away, keeping his hand in her own as she looked around. "Nice setup, but your fire needs tending to."
