That's hot. That's emotionally fraught, true to the characters' voices, delicious with imagery and very sexy stuff.
To be honest, I often skim smut because it's usually a few plug-and-play paragraphs that don't elucidate or resolve anything (more like an intermission for intromission).
But sex as communication? Sex that has consequences and emotional weight? Sex that can't be taken out of the story because it's intwined with who the characters are and where they're going? Luscious stuff.
You had me hooked at the second paragraph, which firmly establishes that she's way ahead of him and his best-laid romantic plans. And I love his delayed anger to that as well.
Jiminy Christmas, T!
