Jack leans into me, and it’s much like the moment in the hallway last night. Slow, blazing tension engulfs us as if the world has completely stopped turning and some feverous tidal wave is sweeping us away. Show me, I chant in my mind. Please show me. His nose is pressed against the side of my head, and he takes a deep inhale as if he’s trying to pick up my scent. My eyes drift closed as the heat deep within my body continues to pulse, pulse, pulse.
