"His lips are pressed against my neck and my hands are on a journey down his upper body and I'm wondering why there are so many freight trains in my heart, why his chest is a broken harmonica."

This must not be all that great of a make out session if she's more entertained by her shit metaphors.

"his lips so soft, so urgent against mine, like fire and honey exploding in my mouth. My whole body is steaming."

Also this: "I've forgotten I know how to speak."

Since speaking is harder than breathing, I'm not surprised.

"I'm an old creaky staircase when I wake up."

Juliette has finally given up on humanity altogether.
