Where were the beers? Valerie turned around to look for them, a distraction to not obsess on what he’d said. Despite the fact that she could still feel where he’d been moments before. The blonde may have given into basic needs in the past, the desire for contact no matter how brief, however she’d never once allowed herself to be touched the way she let Brian. She wanted to bask in that, to let her emotions run wild with him, if it weren’t for the simple fact that she was afraid.
Valerie had spent her entire adult life alone. Surrounded by people she didn’t know, who never knew her, apart from the world. Content in the solitude, if not a little bittersweet. Brian changed all that, he gave her a glimpse of the life she could have had, as opposed to the one thrust upon her. More than that, he made her realise she wanted it.
One deep breath in soon got exhaled shakily as Valerie felt his hand on her. Logic dictated that she pull back but her heart refused to listen. Instead she pivoted to face him, let her arms wrap around Brian and hugged him tightly against her small frame. Eyes closed and she pressed her face against his shoulder, tried to resist the urge to both laugh and cry as she confessed against his shirt, “I can literally feel myself falling for you. I’m not sure I ever want it to stop, even if it’s frightening.”
