Okay? he asks, but his mouth never moves and the word is felt, not heard, as his fingers move on the scruff of her neck. A tap for every dot, a stroke for every line.
She works her hand under his shirt, bridges hip to lower back, and taps out a reply.Okay.

...
You once thought of me, he says unexpectedly, as a white knight on his steed.
Her eyes open and she wonders if he can feel her eyelashes moving on his skin.
Practice, he says. Just sayin'.
