The tips of the fingertips, that’s where it lives– the tips of the fingertips and the dim curves only barely visible in the slivers of light slipping like splinters through the shades. You touch her like a frying-pan that might be hot– the places you’re touching her… any moment you expect her to shriek and turn bright-pink and slap you, those are the sorts of places– but she doesn’t. No, here, now, with her… it’s okay. It’s allowed. All those thoughts you were having all those times you sat behind her in class, they’re allowed here, now. All those things you thought of doing.
The tips of the fingertips, the very tips, that’s where it lives, and the very tips of your fingertips are tracing down her like raindrops, finding every path from the bone of her cheek to her thighs– they trickle along the soft sides of her neck, they drip-drip-drop along the smooth crest of her collarbone, they run as a river, they carve out her cleavage over what feels like eternity– time slows down when you touch her, and you touch her, and you touch her, and at last, at last your touches pool in the gentle sink of her hips.
