Mar. 2nd, 2008 11:01 pmIt’s fear I feed on.
She no longer goes that special kind of silent just from me opening my knife; it’s too often useful to be such a simple trigger. But if I so much as glance at her when I do it, I see how her eyes change in that way that says wet. A smell rises from her, not just sex but fear, and the salt/sour combination tightens my chest, narrows my vision to a single point.
Running the knife along her body, knowing that I’ll never hurt her, but that she’s still not so sure.
That’s love.
