"Your initiatives made me so happy tonight so it's my responsibility to make you satisfied," Nathaniel told making her feel utterly delighted.
In the quiet of the room, she felt safe with her head on his arm. They often did the thing but cuddling together like this, making her feel loved and warm, this was new. Tonight, something felt strange. She couldn't figure out why she suddenly felt shy. They'd been together a long time, so feeling shy around him seemed odd.
She tried to think back to what might have caused it. Maybe it was the way he looked at her earlier, like he was seeing her in a new way. Or maybe it was how his touch felt different, making her feel excited in a way she hadn't before. Whatever it was, it made her heart race with feelings she couldn't explain.
Her own desire surprised her too. It felt stronger than ever, like a flood of emotions she couldn't control. She just wanted to be close to him, to feel his love surround her completely.
