gentle brushes against my skin had that power, I realized. And judging by the
way my voice came out when I spoke next—breathy, weak—they also came
at a price.
“Well, I wish you two the best.” And despite myself, I meant that. “Will
she be joining us today?”
Aaron’s fingers wrapped around mine, awakening in me something that
urged me to turn around to look at him. I suppressed it, keeping my gaze on

Aaron kissed me. On my shoulder.
The temperature of my whole body had probably risen a couple—or ten

It’s good. This is what couples do. They kiss each other. On multiple body
