What else is there to do with the words 'I don't blush' reverberating around inside her head? It's a challenge she has no business being interested in taking him up on, a line drawn in the sand she'll skip right across without thinking about, lured in by the liquid amber of his eyes and the measured murmur of his voice when he leans in to whisper against her cheek.
Her skin feels hot under his hands, her nerves buzzing with the slow awakening of a feeling that's likely always existed beneath the surface, but never had a chance to blossom. It's a knot for later, an enigma laden with rough edges, threaded through with the weight of years and all the mess they've contained.
She'll tell herself it was more about keeping herself on even footing than want but there's no missing the warmth nearly radiating off of her as she rolls onto the balls of her feet, bridging their difference in height before her lips touch his, tentatively at first, like she's touched something electrified and gotten a little shock on first contact, before she moves in, pressed lightly against the wall but still managing to fill his space as much as he does hers. ]
