There's a warning bell ringing distantly, somewhere in the back of her mind.

You have to tell him.

She squeezes her eyes shut tightly, ignoring the thought. She won't get carried away; she won't. She just wants to keep him close for a little while, to feel his mouth on hers, to feel that pleasant warmth in the pit of her stomach.

She feels as if she might break, should she leave his embrace.
