She peeked
a glance up at him, catching mostly only a broad shoulder because of his

straighter, she closed her hand around his, taking in the feel of skin against
skin. The closer they got to the already filled area, the more erratic her

her hand, which made her look up at him. He lifted his chin, gesturing in front
