Until Tomorrow Comes

by Mikayla Christy

“Ah, so it’s like a forbidden brother’s best friend romance happening!?”

“Sex isn’t about favors or tit-for-tats. Watching you get off, seeing you so gloriously undone, that is reward enough. Orgasms aren’t trading cards and they’re not a give and take.”

“It’s more than that, and you know it. You make me feel… alive?” She sucks in a breath. “More than that, you make me feel safe and comfortable to be me, whoever that is.”

I don’t love you because you love me. I love you because of who you are and what you mean to me.”

“But I’m done waiting until tomorrow comes for things to get better. When I’m with you, I’m not just getting by. I’m living. I know how I feel about you, Jackson. I love you.”
