He controls his reaction, limits it to a swallow, his lips thinning, marking the line she’s asked to cross, but he can’t hide the inward surge, the heat she wants to curl around.
Mmmm, absolutely delicious, both the imagery and the writing. You've spun their tension fine and true - love them both here, especially River's direct approach and Mal trying to be protective, of his own heart and of hers. Beautiful, as always ♥
It's such fun to write River like this, all directness and determination, knowing what she wants, and Mal's reaction to it :-) Thanks for picking out that line, and for your kind comments! *hugs*
As always, you kill me with perfection. I'd say, "If only I could've seen this on screen", but honestly, I don't have to because through your writing, I always see it :-) Lovely, as always.
