Excerpt
Samson’s knee brushes high up
on my inner thigh and I’m glad he can’t see anything from my chin down, because
my body is covered in chills right now.
“I didn’t think there were
many people in the world like me,” he says.
“You think we’re alike?” I
want to laugh at that comparison, but there’s not an ounce of humor in his
expression.
“I believe we have a lot more
in common than you think we do, Beyah.”
“You think you’re as alone in
this world as I am?”
He folds his lips together and
nods his head, and it’s the most honest thing I’ve ever seen. I never would
have thought someone so well off could have a life as shitty as mine, but I can
see it in the way he’s looking at me. Everything about him suddenly seems
familiar to me.
He’s right. We are alike, but
only in the saddest ways.
My voice comes out in a
whisper when I say, “When I first met you on that ferry, I could tell you were
damaged.”
There’s a flicker of something
in his eyes as he tilts his head to the right. “You think I’m damaged?”
“Yes.”
He moves even closer in the
water, but there wasn’t much space left between us to begin with. It’s
deliberate, and so much of me is touching so much of him now. “You’re right,”
he says quietly, slipping a hand around the back of my left knee. “There’s
nothing left of me but a fucking pile of debris.” He pulls me to him, wrapping
both my legs around him. That’s all he does, though. He doesn’t try to kiss me.
He just connects us together as if that’s enough while our arms keep us both
afloat.
I’m swiftly succumbing to him. I don’t
know in what way. All of them, maybe. Because right now, I need him to do
something else. Anything else. Taste me. Touch me. Drag me under.
We watch each other for a
moment and it’s almost like looking into a broken mirror. He leans in slowly,
but not toward my mouth. He presses his lips against my shoulder, so gentle it
feels like a graze.
I close my eyes and inhale.
I’ve never felt anything so
sensual. So perfect.
