His hands gentle over me, his lips on my neck are hot. His body enfolding mine is sure, solid, and he’s unafraid. I know, because he asks every time, despite knowing my answer. It’s the proper answer, but he’ll ask again eventually, even so.

We’re together whenever we can manage. Despite knowing better, I keep showing, and each morning we play the same parts until . . . now.

His fingers tighten, lips drawing away, and his voice is strained.

“Why?”

I pull away from him, his new question, and the parting cuts me, inside.

“For both our sakes.”

And I walk away.

Oh, I appreciate this so much! Thank you for your wonderful, thoughtful feedback! It's always interesting to hear what someone else picked up on, I really don't plan my fics out in detail beforehand, and this series just happened from a sudden idea and just keeps expanding. I hadn't paid much attention to the sentence lengths, until you mentioned it.

Oddly, with each part the length doubles itself, so the fourth installment will probably prove the longest yet. Thank again for you lovely comments, and thank for reading! :)
