Summary
She’s not sure he’ll believe her this time either; his face is clear of any emotion, of any hint of how he’s processing any of this. So what can she equate it to? Or rather, should she draw her parallels directly or circumspectly?
“I’m not sure you know what ‘safe’ actually means,” Matt says dryly as he removes his hand and scoots away. He goes so far as to actually seat himself on the coffee table. Though, with his forearms braced on his knees and his eyes focused somewhere in the vicinity of her sternum, he’s clearly still strongly focused on whatever her body is saying underneath her words.
A work of cuddle-porn heavily laced with discussions about trust, honesty, safety and what else besides sex constitutes intimacy.

Early morning sun heats his bedroom, making it seem later than the thump of papers being dropped off for the newsstand on the corner indicate. They have all the time in the world, he thinks as he licks the salt of her sweat from his lips.
“I just wanted a taste,” he murmurs against her ear, not bothering to pretend to innocence.
Claire laughs deep in her throat and turns his head enough that she can brush her smile against his. “The last time you said that,” she sighs, “I couldn’t feel my toes for an hour afterward.”
