Five Words Title: Five Words Author:ladytalon1 Fandom: The Inside Pairing: Danny/Rebecca Rating: PG Disclaimer: Not mine, not making any $$ Word Count: 189 A/N: The inspiration for this fic came from a pamphlet I saw in my Women's Studies class last semester when we were studying violence against women - the text on this particular pamphlet said, "The sexiest thing you can say to a woman is, 'Is this okay with you?'" and it really rang true with me. When watching The Inside, I found that Danny/Rebecca would be the perfect application of this so I hope you enjoy it.

There were countless ways in which Danny could reduce her to a trembling puddle of emotional goo:
The smile he used just for her, the look in his eyes as he watched her dress in the mornings before work. The way he whispered her name as he ran his hands over her body, the care he always took to make sure she was comfortable whenever they were out together, the unselfconscious beauty of him when he walked around their apartment in nothing but a bath towel. How sweet and vulnerable he looked when he was sprawled out asleep on the bed.
But what did her in faster and more effectively than anything else, was five simple words. Not “I love you,” which he said frequently. Not even the four words of a marriage proposal when he had asked her to marry him had quite done it.
There were five words that were the sexiest thing he’d ever say to her, and those words never failed to make her come undone…because whenever he initiated their lovemaking, the question “Is this okay with you?” were the keys to unlocking her heart.
