Like a time or two every day. But wanting each other had never been in question, she knew that Peter was well aware that she wanted him. Sometimes Claire was caught staring and fantasizing, but it wasn't just a release with them, they'd got close quick and it was important to be on the same page. "Oh you do," Claire assured him quickly but she was smiling.
She was a little surprised how big his hands were, strong where they held her and she shivered. It had been a long few weeks there dancing around each other. "Good, because I want to know," she said seriously. "You can tell me things maybe you feel like you shouldn't." Because that was a real thing, when heterosexual monogamy was normal, anything that strayed from that was wrong and something you shouldn't talk to someone you were with about. But that's not how she wanted things to be with them.
"I'd have wanted to," Claire said with a shrug. "But I wouldn't have if I hadn't talked to you about it first or you were there so I could make sure it was something you enjoyed." Because while nothing had been set in stone they'd been starting something, something that she would have wanted to protect.
