And I slipped a hand between her legs, swiping my fingers

over the fabric of her leotard, and feeling what I knew would

be there. She was seeping through. She was wet.

I brought my fingers up. “If he didn’t touch you, then is

this for me?”

She slammed me in the chest, and I stumbled back, letting

her out.

“You’re a monster. You’re no better than him,” she

growled. “You played with me. You took advantage of me not

being able to see, just like he did, and got exactly what you

her space and throwing all of her shame back at her. “You’ll be

the first to kiss me here.” I flicked her ear. “And here.” I

touched her neck. “And here.” I brushed her nipple with my

thumb. “I want to feel your body on mine. Am I okay? Am I

doing it right? It feels good. Don’t stop. Oh, GGod. Oh, GGod.
